Question 1.
Does TGE terrain STILL use 256x256 textures? Can we use higher resolution textures with 1.5? It appears that the only change to allow for higher resolution textures is J. Kabus's fix for
Question 2.
Aside from TLK, ShowToolPro, A bunch of free Art Assets and the improved Mac support...what are the detailed changes in 1.5? Is there a link to the changelog or a list of changes from 1.4.2 to 1.5? I just want to read what changed.
thx in advance

Thats already in 1.5 and does not increase terrain texture size, it does however mean you make your square size 4 or 2 , that in turn does increase the textures resolution on the terrain, but increasing its tile rate.
