turn off blurring of textures?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/turn off blurring of textures?

I am trying to get a really old-school look, and this includes pixelated textures. I'm thinking here of Wolfenstein3D, with its software render. Normally, when you get close to textures the image blurs out. However, what I want is for the pixels to remain crisp squares and simply enlarge. I know about ClearTextureFilters to get rid of mipmapping, but is there any way to get rid of the default blurring of textures? I think that is a built-in attribute of the video card, and thus needs to be turned off in the driver settings.

Tom did a userlib for this which worked really well. Not sure where you'd find it now...

Could you be more specific than "Tom"? I'd like to look for this userlib.
