Gerard Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 BMP is a great format? It really isnt... Sure for pixel-by-pixel drawings it renders them accurately, but the file sizes are massive compared with JPEGs, GIFs or PNGs - they use up a lot of space and take ages to download. Use one of those other formats instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I'll delete the first four. And yeah, BMP is one of the worst image formats in use. Massive file sizes and 0 compression FTL. lrn2internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I don't have a clue where you got the idea that it's a great format. The file size is huge and there isn't really much noticeable difference from other formats in quality. Edited June 7, 2008 by Cat Licker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It doesn't just take more space, it takes, a lot lot lot more space and the quality is basically the same as anything else to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a brilliant format. Seriously.... Most BMPs I've had/created/downloaded/saw sucked, really. I'd say PNG all the way. I swear by PNG.

Gerard Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Thing about BMP is that it records the colour of every individual pixel. That makes it spot-on accurate for that amount of pixels, but totally useless if you zoom in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ddogg2014 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Im not sure if this fits into this catagory but I downloaded some stuff but I dont know how to get it into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 No it doesn't fit into this category. Go to our forum for whatever game it is you downloaded the 'stuff' for and into the modding forum, look for related help topics and see if you can find help there. If not, make a new topic there with details of exactly what you're trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use one of those other formats instead. Can you suggest a converter for BMPs to one of the formats supported? I know it's a dumb question but at this time I'm using a really great smokin' awesome graphics program called WINDOWS PAINT (Have you guys seen this?) that dumps my pics out in BMP. I have a ton of BMPs & if I can convert then to a more compact format it would save a lot space on my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Paint is fine too. Just make sure you click Save As and there's a drop down box with filetypes. For some reason it has BMP by default but of course JPEG is generally best. PNG if it contains text. GIF if there's not many colours or you need transparency.
