Texture bug or, maybe not a bug?

I was working on making some new textures for the game today, and while in game, I noticed that strangely, the game cuts off 4 pixels from the edges of each texture? It even does it with the default textures. I noticed that the banner at the top of this site is an example of what the usual grey hull texture would be like if the game DIDNT take off 4 pixels on each edge, and it looks quite different in game. Is this on purpose? It sure makes texturing kinda difficult.

That\'s on purpose to prevent textures from \"bleeding\" into the next texture. This is a effect that mipmapping has with sizing down textures to smooth out textures in the distance. That\'s why we have 4 pixel \"safe zone\" where you should just repeat the pixels outward to the end.

Ahh ok, good to know! I\'ll just have to remember that when texturing. Thanks
