and save it as a png file.
Results: background.bmp -> 2.359..350
background.png -> 8.335
(BIG difference, don't you think. And after the final compression for
distribution the difference is not THAT big but it is still big enough.)
The same thing you can do for most of the images when you create just
"technology" :) demos. "Sky night.bmp for example can be reduced a lot".

Oh, yeah, that's true, I didn't even remember that now WME has support for PNG format since build 28, I think I got stucked with TGA :P
--- Quote from: odnorf on August 16, 2003, 12:28:34 PM ---Also, don't use TGA files, they usually take too much space, and doesn't compress
as much as BMP files, and never reach the size of the PNG format.

I tend to use TGA when the image has transparencies, and BMP when there's no transparency, but now I'll use PNG instead of BMP. And well, with RLE compression, a TGA image can be smaller than a BMP... but yeah, never near to a PNG.

What this file is supposed to be :) You have forgotten, didn't you? :)

Yeah, probably :-[
Thanx for all! ;D

Hey that's excellent stuff!
Smooth too!
Did you make the DLL yourself, or did you use a "generic math dll"?

If are talking about the math.dll then this Jerrot's work.

Hi McCoy,
thanks again for that demo, I just found the time to have a look into your source code and - well, short and smart! :)
I found some little strange things though:
- I cannot load the scenes into SceneEdit (it throws an error in the SceneEdit logfile) until I delete the line "PERSISTENT_STATE=TRUE" from the scene file. Did you enter that manually or is/was there a WME bug ?
- The god mode seems to have some little bugs with the borders when activating it, but that's not important at all. ;)
Yeah. That's it already. Nice idea! :)

Strange, I didn't have any problems, and I didn't touch the PERSISTENT_STATE thing, so it could maybe be a bug?!?! Dunno...

I detected that sometimes, when you activate the god mode, you can't lower the sun under the horizont's line, but never had any problems with the borders... Anyway, now that you have the code, (and if you're veeeeryyy bored) you can try to find the problem... ;)
