The angle feels very strange, though the tanks look nice. Could you use .png next time as .jpg messes up the pixels.

will do on the png. as for the angle on the tanks its supposed to be iso-3d-something-or-other™ whereby each tank consists of three different graphs, each one set a few pixels above the previous. This gives the units a sense of height without the nuisance of drawing them at 8 or 16 different angles.

Quote: gah png messes with img tags There's a well known format called JPG, I only use PNG for web graphics nowadays. Not for lots-of-colours screenshots... the shot looks nice, but everything looks too aliased. [Edited on February 8, 2006 by Rhovanion] ____________ |

JPG basically compresses your image by filtering. It hides data when it is remarkable. Depending on the image your picture will look very bad or you will not see the difference. I can reduce a file of 1 MB to 90K with JPG and you will hardly see the difference. You shouldn't say JPG "messes up the pixels" because it a lossy technique. Of course PNG is better if you want quality prime over size (or you've used vectors and want to edit them later), but not everyone who visits boolean soup has the greatest bandwidth ever and likes waiting for it to load. As you can compare PNG compression with standard mathematical compression such as RLE or Hoffman, it is the best format to use in videogames, since its lossless compression saves all the quality and pixels, nothing get's "lost" and your color codes will still work if you used hardness maps or something. ... but I would advise JPG for screenshots, since they are just to look at. Just avoid saying "png is better than jpg" because you are then comparing apples to lemons.

But for a game like this, where we might want to examine the detailed pixel-level artwork of the units, jpeg doesn't make this easy.

Whenever I save JPEG's as of late, they come out looking so fuzzy and shitty that I usually fornicate with the floppy drive in frustration. (and yes, I am setting image quality to highest, and compression to lowest when saving.) And I prefer looking at PNG for screenshots. I can't stand the lack of quality - in fact, sometimes if a file extention is .jpg (if it's a direct hyperlink to the URL) then I don't even click on it.

Some people think so, yeah. I've just had bad exp with Jpegs. I need a saviour, or something. Something to somehow reinstate my faith in .jpg, or something.

Quoting Ferret: You're a bit stupid. Nobody accues him of being smart? Dennis is just spamming crap again. JPEG is a perfectly acceptable image format and not looking at a image because it is a jpeg is the stupidist thing I've heard. No pr0n for your deadmaster. ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

I just can't tolerate the quality. I'd rather not see the damn thing. Of course, not every jpg of them are bad quality (note - I am regarding the typical jpeg as mspaint saved quality, making it look so blurry that text is unreadable), but I just naturally have a sorta subconsious habit of avoiding jpegs now. Like I don't pick them out when going through a list of image types. I know it's wrong to think they're all bad quality but I'm finding it hard to change my habits. Jesus, someone should kick me off of here or something. [Edited on February 11, 2006 by Deadmaster] ____________ My site still needs updating and redesigning. My last.fm page.

Well saving text as a jpeg is a bit silly unless it is greyscale and at a high quality/low compression ratio.
