powers of 2 means... well...

take the number 2, multiply that by 2, which is 4. Multiply that by 2 and you get 8, times 2 equals 16, then 32, and 64. So on and on.

you will get an error if you use a resolution like 266 x 133. not powers of two. 256 x 128 is and that'll work.

But i think that the HL and HL2 engine doesn't care as long as it divisible by 16. Like the numbers 48, 96, and 384. However, a compression will be placed on it. Though it might not happen in source, i don't know it that well.

Start with common number like 64, 128, 256, and 512.
