Because he is asking questions which are covered in Renhelp, maybe not in the exact form, but in a similar one.
OR:
The question has been asked a million times over

Define larger? (example) as in 256x256 to 512x512?
Because if you are planning something like that you will loose very much details of your texture.
If you have a bigger texture say 1024x1024 for the fun of it then you just have to re aplly it to the ssm launcher in renx and then just export it. (w3d import it then apply the new texture, uvw unwraps should still be saved even by importing the model)
I don't think it is due to ignoring but more the fact that people on this forums are only into huds lately.

Try doubling the size of the texture (ie 256x256 -> 512x512) and make sure to stretch the original to fit the new texture and use that, you should find it lines up perfectly with the original. This is because texture coordinates treat the texture image as a box going from 0,0 to 0,1, so you can always double / halve the size of any texture and it should still fit properly.
Once you have checked it works then you have a nice new larger texture map for the SSM launcher.
EDIT: You probably need to delete any .thu files you have first

unfortunately, renegade doesn't support resized textures for w3ds.
the model appears all black if a texture with a larger or smaller size is used
example: stretch the gdi minigunner texture (c_minigun1.dds) from
256*256 to 512*512 yourselves and see what happens

It does support "resized" textures, it doesn't support textures that are differently sized than the versions in always.dat unless you have updated .thu files. Try nuking your thu files and it might work.

I did tell him that before 
|
The problem is that people tend to ignore the proper advice from people who know what they are talking about and listen to the faceless mob of misinformation.

That's what all the cool people do.

it seems people ignore you 
with the w3d importer.
