If you are working on textures. So please rework a whole set. For example if you are working on stone tiles. Please also redo, if possible, the other ones of the same categorie. A total patchwork set would not be so favorable. Another possibilty would be to orientate upon other examples.

We will try to combine the textures for every style in as few textures as possible to enhanche the performance.

[http://ghoulsblade.schattenkind.net/iris/irisarttool/irismodels.php?mode=group&searchname=cobblestones&start=0&group=floortiles Floort Textures for Iris] here you can find the Modelnumbers of the IDs. Please only make the square ones first and if you do that please do every one of the same style. For example if you like to rework on marble. So do all the marble tiles at the same time.

Transfer tiles which resembles terrain tiles are not needed to be done yet. Because they are part of the terrain textures and they have the splattet feature.

The wood floor textures might be implemented in future in the ./lua/lib.terrain.multitex.lua. So that it will be counted as one of the multitexes of Iris 2. That would be a sum of 95 ids.

Almost every floor tile is still pretty low res and does seem to be painted with paint.

==XXXX==

These two are done yet {{art_2d|0x451d}} {{art_2d|0x71f4}}.

XXXX stands for the brief description of the tile in four letters.

Originally Iris2 loads Groundtextures from original UO data "Texmap.mul", so it's not legal to create modifications of those, they

Groundtextures are definded into Tilesets, for instance grass and forest tilesets which also have transitional tiles from grass to other types like dirt or rocks. Therefore the Iris 2 project wrote a new Terrain Shader that uses splatting

Now, we only need '''ONE''' Groundtexture for each Tileset.

Corastin already reworked the whole set of terrain textures which were 54 textures. But further additions would be great.
