Well, I compressed a BMP (1024x768x24bit) -> PNG A few pixels had changed a tiny bit.. it was like, a dark blue pixel in the middle of a whole lot of darker blu pixels was a bit darker... such things.. not really loss.. more like.. color dimming.. or something... Nothing you notice unless you specifically look for it.. PNG is deffinitely good to use if you want HQ textures.. instead of using BMPs that take like 8MB per texture  And I prefer PNG too =) |

In XP, there are GDI+ API calls delaing with JPEGS. Unfortunately they only works in XP...
Actually GDI+ comes with XP that's true... but you can download the GDI+ DLL and install it on every Windows OS. And AFAIK it should work. Here is one location where you can download it: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplusTake care |

I have GDI+ in my W2000 system because Office 2000 installed it.
MS says explicitly in his web that installing GDI+ independently of any software distribution is a license violation and a lot more lawyer's blah blah..
I never tried to move into a PC without Office and call a function to see if it works.Probably it must be unlocked by a MS installer...

Maybe you saved a true-color bitmap as a 256-color PNG? |

this is gonna be the dumbest question i've prob ever asked....can you convert a bmp to data..lol, so i could just copy paste it and use it like , well...data??? i think that would probably end up being really slow, but is it possible?

Here you go: http://download.cdsoft.co.uk/code/fb-img2dat.zipIt outputs the data statements to console, so redirect the output to catch the code if you want (more info is at the top of the source file).  -shiftLynx |

Oh, I see... I suppose you must have tried to do the > from when the program asked you for the parameters. Sorry I didn't explain that too well.  I meant if you run it from command line, you can redirect the output of the program. So from cmd, you would do: img2dat test.bmp > code.bas Heh. Good idea to modify the code though. -shiftLynx |
