Are you sure the pie-files support 512x512 (or higher) because I've read somewhere that there is a limit to it (256x256 I believe).
@Ranger Joe: it is also important to modify the U/V coordinates in the PIE-files when modifying the textures. As for some cheats which might assist in campaign/level jumping: http://wz2100.net/wiki/user:cheats PS It would be nice if you (or anyone for that matter) made the textures as vector graphics. So that they can be reproduced at higher resolutions without much trouble. -- Giel
