Is their a limit to how many textures you can have loaded onto a game to work with?

Is their a way to improve the quality of a texture within the game? They always become very fuzzy when close up in the editor.

You can improve "quality" by providing a larger texture - though at some point you have to question of wisdom of pressing your eyeball against the wall as opposed to playing the game.

I have done some research on this matter, and the truth is that you can improve the quality by using larger textures and scaling them down using texscale. This provides a lot better looking textures, but of course means longer loading times :)
You can't use as big textures as you want either, since not all graphic cards allow for really big textures. I generally use textures that are 1024x1024 or 1024x512 and use texscale 0.5 on them. Try it out, and see if you like it.

set the scale smaller - to 0.5, or 0.25.

so it'd look like:

texture 0 "xploit/thistexture.jpg" 0 0 0 0.5

in the config.

Cube 1: 256.
Cube 2: 65,536 I think.

um the fuzzy part, no one is standing there looking at the textures in a normal game, so there is realy no point on fixing it.
