Blurb (Probably) one of the best texture packs that you could find for free!

Detailed description

Information
And here it is, the Evil-X Texture Pack by Yves Allaire!
All textures are sightable ingame, as far as I've noticed.
They seem to be some remade textures of several others which Yves Allaire has released in the past, yet they are in a completly new shape.

A screenshot with some higher resolution is available right here.

I hope you enjoy them!

Credits
I would like to thank Yves Allaire for his wonderful work for recreating some of Quake2's textures.
The original textures can be found on http://www.evillair.net/v3/.

Sidenotes
Although the license isn't stating so;
Don't include these textures within your zip-file of your project (as for maps, scripts, models, skyboxes, not stand-alone mods, etc), but rather link to this page instead. If you are using modified versions of the textures; be sure to include those in the very same directory and pick another name for them.
It currently is licensed as Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0.

Improvements
24 April 2019
Tweaked textures to be some more realistic (less plastic or glossy) and made another preview map which fit the textures differently. Both versions are included.

8 September 2014
Changed packaging and configuration so each resolution uses different folders. Both versions are now zipped in 1 zip-file instead of 2.
Please do not load the textures directly from textures/yves_allaire/ex but from textures/yves_allaire/ex/ex256 or textures/yves_allaire/ex/ex512.

16 August 2012
Tweaked the configuration-file a little bit so they emit more specular light, while some of them are more shallow in sight now.

15 August 2012
Renamed all textures once more, but now they won't have ex in their names (to have less clutter). Converterted all textures to jpg-format to reduce the file-size (the link is still at the update of 15th July 2011). Repackaged the whole thing for some more cleaner content. Updated all links on the content. Added some proper screenshot and some map which shows off the textures a little bit.

16 July 2010
Tenamed all textures to lower case letters. Added permission to put this texture pack on Quadropolis and to let any Cube Engine 2 games use them.

15 July 2010
Renamed the "eX" folder into "ex" and changed the config also. Added the lower quality texture pack as main texture pack for downloading (just because they don't look that bad at all and when you compare the 8Mb size against the 30Mb size, it's pretty useless to download the higher resolution pack, except if you're a detail-maniac). ~~Of course the high resolution pack is still downloadable over here~~.

I love these. The author is a very talented individual.
Thanks for packaging and getting permissions Suicizer.

Edit: The config is extremely well done.

Second Edit. Bit of an error. I've fixed it below.

Line 312 through 330, under the heading "//wall"

You had the wrong mappings for the last two, they are supposed to be the same as the first two.
The 01b and b01 where mixed.

Suicizer | 2010-07-15 02:14

ah k, thanks a lot windecker fixing a mistake in the config file :)!

btw, how they hell do you know it is line 312? what kind of program you use to check out 0.0? i always just typed everything by hand :S (damn it hurts)!

Windecker | 2010-07-15 02:36

I use this when in Windows. Tis Notepad++.

PS. All three links go to the same place.

RaZgRiZ | 2010-07-15 08:27

Notepad++ is a pretty hard to use program for inexperienced people jake, he's better off to start with TotalEdit Free

Suicizer | 2010-07-15 09:02

suprisingly enough ive already found my way a bit in the program :D! of course i dont know what to do when they go start about UTF-8, but seems not that hard program after all!
of course ill try totaledit too!

thanks windecker for the program, really made writing those configs a lot easier!

Windecker | 2010-07-15 15:01

How is it hard to use? It's a text editor. All the key shortcuts are the same anyways.
If one never tries, one never learns.

btw: I only stated "I use this," not "You should use this." ;)
Cheerio.

Windecker | 2010-07-15 19:13

I forgot something. your eX folder should actually be ex. ( lower case )

Here is a config to match, in case you don't feel like fixing it. http://pastebin.org/397837

Suicizer | 2010-07-15 19:30

i preciate your help very much, but please read the updates before posting :P. i used your nice notepad++ to do the trick :)!

RaZgRiZ | 2010-07-16 23:12

for once i'd like an editor that could select text vertically. heh

Suicizer | 2010-07-17 00:04

? sorry but what do you mean razgiz?

btw, vote damn it :P!

RaZgRiZ | 2010-07-17 01:13

ok. my rnd number came up 3. but haven't tried any textures yet. so i'll give it 3 because the preview doesn't inspire me lol

Windecker | 2010-07-17 04:13

Want me to make you a better screenshot? Textures in a map perhaps? ( I have one )

Suicizer | 2010-07-17 09:18

yes i know i should have made a map with it (i was trying with the dsi and e6 texture pack), but that takes pretty much time when you already posted it on quadropolis, go on holiday for 3 weeks and gotta work again after the holiday :S. Windecker, would you be so kind to send me a screenshot of the map so i could use it as image for quadropolis? of course ill let everyone notice in the content, that youve made the map ;) (so just a small credit).
too bad i wont be able to add the screenshot before my holiday, so if youll send it it will take time of like 1 and a half week before i can do something.

btw, check the readme file of other texture packs to get my email addres, or just put a link in a comment on the content :P.

Any editor that supports block mode... The two editors I use are Vim (console) and Kate (GUI). Both support block editing mode (and syntax highlighting, and more). Vim runs on Windows and Linux (and more), but Kate requires KDE, so if you want it on Windows, you have to install a whole lot more. (This may or may not be worth it, Kate is a pretty amazing editor.)

Depending on the OS your using;
You can use an old DOS app called edit.com, to select vertical columns of text with a (right-click on the title bar to mark/select a section of text anywhere on screen, or scroll to include off screen text in the buffer with just the dos prompt text - ie. 'type filename' to dump a text file to the dos prompt, and then select the text), running in Windows on XP.

RaZgRiZ | 2012-10-09 13:11

You mean ALT select? :P

Kretren | 2010-07-18 01:19

They look good.. Very similar to what I've been thinking of, as of late.

I would think that the higher-res one would make it onto the release, if anything. Sauer is already really bloated-down with lots of textures, maps, and other content, but if anything that only justifies another costly but gorgeous texture pack ;) Go big or go home.

Since so many of these textures also look like Lunaran textures, they would provide an interesting contrast to the already-established set. Anyways, good find. Some are kinda ugly but for the most part, nice rusty old textures.. Puurrdy.

Halbgar | 2012-08-15 11:38

Link is broken. I would like to use these awesome textures on a new layout. i would be very grateful if you could re-upload them :D

Suicizer | 2012-08-15 15:11

Well, fixed right now. Feel free to download and use them again.

Halbgar | 2012-08-16 11:15

Thanks dude :3

Suicizer | 2014-09-08 00:02

Small updating bump to anyone who used this texturepack for their maps or is planning so.

Nooby | 2015-03-15 21:46

I have contacted Yves Allaire for the purpose of relicensing the textures freely and I could convinced Yves :)

You can update the license information - http://evillair.net
The new license is CC BY-SA 4.0.

The eX texture pack will be on of the default texturs in Inexor (http://inexor.org)

Suicizer | 2015-03-16 00:17

Nice to hear. I will certainly change it.

Nooby | 2015-03-16 12:26

This applies for all textures from evillair, so you could update the other nodes also ;).

Suicizer | 2015-03-16 15:27

Where's that mail (and his reply) to verify this?

Some other texture packs of him are already GPLv2ed (due the blame of nexuiz).

a_teammate | 2015-03-16 18:02

Suicizer | 2019-04-23 20:28

It's about time, but the map finally has another map as example.
There are some tweaks on the textures itself.

Any thoughts are welcome.
