Mipmap filter now available within Advanced Graphic options (PC only).


Acually, I've never heard of "Mipmap" When I saw this I laughed alot.

Meh, it's supposed to be "Bitmap" Anyone who has been around a lot of games or computers should know this.


PS: Mods move this to the correct forumn please, for now it's FKL'd.

Actually, Mipmapping has been around for years now. It's a way of improving performance by using bitmaps that are scaled.


In 3D computer graphics texture filtering, MIP maps (also mipmaps) are pre-calculated, optimized collections of bitmap images that accompany a main texture, intended to increase rendering speed and reduce artifacts. They are widely used in 3D computer games, flight simulators and other 3D imaging systems. The technique is known as mipmapping. The letters "MIP" in the name are an acronym of the Latin phrase multum in parvo, meaning "much in a small space". They need more space in memory although they form the basis of wavelet compression.

There are times where mipmapping can cause graphical glitching though and it does no harm being disabled so long as your computer can handle the non-optomized images.
