MW2 textures

You're good....

I don't have as much time for this as I would like, so I haven't been able to work some bugs out yet, but I can post a first few pics. Still working on this, so there may be better screenshots later.

In the cases where it doesn't work yet, I am loading the right textures, but they are applied to the wrong places.

Every different palette gives a completely different set of texture colorations, so there are very many possible skins for each mech.

Great job! Mechs look far better than the traditional plain white. Makes them look more fierce too.

Some notes:

• Palette entries must be multiplied by 4.
• Texture coordinates are not negative, but may exceed the size of the texture. In that case, the texture must be placed several times.

Texture coordinates exceeding the size of the texture require that the texture is placed several times in the texture atlas.

For efficiency reasons, I use a single texture for an entire mech. This reduces the number of GL calls to select textures, but it is not compatible with MW2 and MW3m which use individual textures for each polygon. As a workaround, I compile the small textures used by a mech into one large texture, called a texture atlas. This worked well for MW3, but MW2 uses texture coordinates that exceed the texture size to indicate that a single texture should be placed several times. I have been able to fix that placing textures several times in the atlas when needed. This fixes some rendering bugs, but there still appears to be a problem with the texture coordinates. I'll keep you updated.
