Release Date:	01/11/05	
Software Used:	Photoshop 7


This package contains a set of 291 textures with multiple variations and grouped into one .utx file. Theme is mainly Metal/Indus/Science-Fiction but other tastes may be pleased too. All textures are from 512*512 to 1024*1024 and set with detail texs, footsteps sounds, compression DXT things and opacity masks when required. You're free to modify and use them for non-commercial use only, as long as you give credit and you provide this .txt file or a download link for the original .zip file in the project's readme file. The .jpg and .tga files sources can be downloaded here (conditions of use are the same): http://bedos.guilhem.perso.sfr.fr/g-pack/g-pack_tex_utx.zip


Important
-----------------------------------------
The .utx package itself is only meant for convenience - please do not use the textures directly from the package, instead put them in your map's MyLevel package. If you use the textures straight from the file it will result in an 110MB+ extra download for anyone downloading your project.
