OpenUniverse's already using high resolution maps. However, maybe some of you (especially those owning new generation 3D cards) are interested on HIGHER resolution maps. In this section i'll be posting VERY HIGH RESOLUTION MAPS. Be aware that these maps are memory (I've included a required memory field to the table below so you may guess whether a map is for you or not) and bandwidth hungry so, please, don't download a map unless you're sure it will work for you.
 
 

    To install these high-res maps just copy them to the textures directory (rename file to prevent overwriting the old one) and then edit the ou.conf file. To install the Mars map you have to do this:

• Download the file, rename it (say marshigh.jpg) and copy it to the textures directory
• Edit ou.conf and:
  • Locate Mars section and replace "mars.jpg" with "marshigh.jpg"
  • You may have to modify the slices and/or stacks values in the config file. Try with powers of two (any other even value may work but you'll have to find them following the trial and error procedure :-) )
  • Run OpenUniverse and be patient, it may take a while to load the maps

IF YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HANDLE THESE MAPS, DOWNSAMPLE THEM TO A LOWER POWER OF TWO (a 2048x1024 map takes four times less memory than a 4096x2048 map).
