Has a texture MipMaps?

Can I look up anywhere if a texture has MipMaps? I did not find such a information in UnrealEd nor UTPT.exe. (I just do not want test every single texture by assigning it to a surface in a map, run the map and see whether it crashes or not.)

I believe every texture that is higher than 256 horizontally or vertically (512) has standard mipmaps. For the rest I don't know. I'll brainstorm about it.

I believe every texture [...] has standard mipmaps

I thought you can have them created (or not) while importing?

Yeah thats one. Otherwise the game will not start anyway. It will give the error: insufficient mipmaps.

Must be joking

Sooo the only thing I know ...and I might be wrong.
-Textures for bsp should have MipMaps.
-Textures for Skins should never have MipMaps.

Is there nothing written in the wiki about it?

Yes, it is, but not where it can be looked up whether a texture has MipMaps. I also had a look at the texture in question with UTPT, but did not find any difference between textures with and without MipMaps.

That's what I meant.
Bummer.
Maybe with a hexcode reader?
There must be something... I can't believe there is nothing for that.

What are mipmaps exactly again? Aren't they microtextures to be seen from distance till the full texture is loaded in the current vieuw port / field renderder or something?

Short: http://www.3drender.com/glossary/mipmapping.htm
Long: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Mipmap

Mipmaps are often used with large textures because it is more optimal at a distance to see a smaller texture.
Small textures will not gain much benefit.
You can use mipmaps for all world textures and skins, but not for GUI textures.

UTX-Viewer shows the details of textures, as do various other tools.
