file size - rikumaster - 09-17-2008

hi , i wanted to ask how i can minimize ( compress) the file size of the bmps (sprites, charmenu.bmp...)!
i´m working with photo filtre and , always if i save the bmp it "larges"
from 50kb to 1,3 mb or so!!!

Can anyone help me???


RE: file size - Silverthorn - 09-17-2008

Well, since bmp's are rather large, I'd suggest that you need to save it as an 8-bit bmp aka. 256 colors. All the original sprites are already in 256 colors, just if you edit them, you might need more. But yea, the smalles bmp is a 256-color bmp, so, I guess you know what you've to do now ;)

lf2 can't use jpg or png images... bmp is heavy, when "transform" a bmp image to others types, the image is bad "/

actually, lf2 can use png's
first you need to download rammichael's exe changer (not resource hacker)
and then select the lf2 exe with it, and the tick the box that says:
'allow lf2 to use png's'
this will work.

If you PM me the pics I could reduce the colours to a minimum without quality loss.
Paint and Photo Philtre aren't really good programms for this...

how can i use it , is the corel draw graphics suite x4 right too??


RE: file size - Lauli - 09-18-2008

Yes, the x4 suite works aswell, just that it is ways pricier than an earlier release.
I've bought Corel Draw 11 for 20$. Corel Draw 14 is something about 400$

Anyways, it is somewhere under "picture (?) -> Colours -> Palette -> Optimized"
