Re: Maps available
Actually, "Miirunst" uses ~270 000 colors (IIRC - checked yesterday) only. Reducing that to 256 makes especially the red gradients rather pixelated (sp?), but it's something I could live with.
File Size goes down significantly, but I'll have to check again when I'm at home. IIRC it was 16MB than.
One problem with the DOM2 maps is that they compress rather badly - thanks to .tga only beeing able to to RLE compression.
Now Miirunst and the Illwinter maps have lots of microstuctures. These look good, but compress very badly, especially with RLE. ...
