| Summary | 0001074: JPEG loading screens don't work in /interface/ | ||||
| Description | If I tell FRED to use a jpeg custom loading screen in /interface/ it will default to using the normal loading screen. But if I move the jpeg to /effects/, and point FRED to it, I get my custom loading screen working. I also tried it out with a tga loading screen in /interface/ and it worked fine. So it just seems to me that FreeSpace isn't looking for jpeg files in /interface/. | ||||

Just use uncompressed DDS images instead. Then you don't have to make both PCX and JPG/TGA versions for them to work for everyone. |
|
|
My only issue with that is size. The 1024x768 uncompressed DDS loading screen is around 2MB, but a JPEG version is only around 200kB. |
|
|
Two things: 1) the JPEG version would require that the user use -jpgtga, a DDS doesn't 2) compressed VPs are coming with 3.7, and DDS are extremely compressable Adding support for JPG on the interface is trivial, but we are trying to get away from using JPG or TGA for anything new since those formats are optional. DDS is the preferred format for everything now since it offers the most options in actual format and compatibility and will work without anything extra from the user. |

Okeydoke then. I'll go with DDS then. |
