I thought that I read at one time on this newsgroup some talk of making the
.TIM textures used on .TMD objects "wrap" or "tile" over the surface of the
polygons, instead of "stretching" to fit the poly.

I've been through the messages again, but I can't see it.

I thought it had to do with changing the GsDRAWENV.tw drawing environment
texture window coordinates and/or size.  I messed around with this a bit,
and it didn't make much difference.

Then in one message, subject "Re: TMD Primitives" dated 7/27/98, Craig
Graham mentioned that "tile-textured" polys are not supported.

What was that GsDRAWENV discussion about then?  (A dream on my part maybe?
:-)
Was it about making the texture "stretch" over more than one poly by
essentially breaking it into two smaller textures?

In short, Does anyone have any ideas how to make a texture tile over a poly?
