[HD] tag for High Resolution Skins

Just recently, there have been some slight changes to the the way the skins section is organised. The [HD] tag in front of skins in the resources section (example) means that the texture is in 512x512 resolution (as opposed to the standard 256x256).

Keep in mind that including a 256x256 version of the texture is still mandatory for approval, just now it's easier to tell the high-res/cinematic skins from the standard ones.

512? maybe I'm just to used to new stuff but it seems to me that 1024 would be more HD

For WC3 512 is HD enough.

Indeed...

Quite cool, but of what use is it? Most people will only care about the resolution of the skin if they need a low-res texture because their map is reaching big filesizes. And since a 256 version is mandatory for approval anyways, the user can simply download the 256x256 version instead.

There are some people that won´t care about filesize and might prefer the hd version of the skin, such cinematics or single player maps. This is just a simple way to point out those skins that have the hd included.

Ah, I see. Alright then, makes sense.
