Windows v6 beta test

I realize for efficiency you are rendering lumps of tiles(4x4?) to textures and rendering the quads for tiles on v6. However can you look into changing the sampling for tiles to nearest neighbor and no AA? As it is now when you are zoomed in sprites are crisp but tiles and npcs are very blurry. Besides the fact the blurring looks bad it also causes a lot of visual bugs with edges and such bleeding with transparency.

I mean the latest update fixed most of the major rendering bugs with zooming but this one still bugs me.

Doesn't look like a rendering bug, seems the tile gfx is bugged.

I'm not talking about the gass tiles. I'm talking about how the tiles are blurry, which also causes the trees(and many npcs) to blur at the edge of transparency and cause those outlines at the bottom of the trees.

Mostly ganis = crisp. Npcs and tiles = blurry. It just looks bad in my opinion.

Problem is that tiles are often repeated often and zooming it can create very bad moiré effects, but we can see if we can improve it. On Android you sometimes have a bad zoom factor and then you can see this, a "blurry" version of the tiles look better but of course we need to avoid the effect of tile borders.

I think you should simply draw all layers up to layer 3, then scale it up as a whole, then draw the UI layers on it.
