A 24bit bmp is smaller than the identical 32bit bmp.

Aha! Finally, an explanation for why 24-bit color exists. I've always been baffled by references to 24-bit color, because I've never seen a video card that produced that setting. Every card I've owned that allowed a color depth above 16-bit jumped directly to 32-bit.

Re: Official Image Collection
The current images included with SE:IV are all 24-bit .bmps - decent file size with image quality undistinguishable from 32-bit with the human eye.

My old ATI Rage Something-or-other 16 MB card had 16-bit and 24-bit, no 32-bit.  |

Re: Official Image Collection
More bad news with my computer situation.
Three harddrives have failed on me in the Last month now.
On monday I should be getting yet another replacement disk, and a fifth new one for backup.
Maybe its bad luck picking drives, maybe its something with the power, maybe its something else.

Re: Official Image Collection
Fyron, I had an ATI-3D Rage Pro-Xpert@Play. Not to bad. But I sure would like to get my hands on the ATI-9700. Oh Yeah!!
SJ, sorry to hear about the bad fortune!

Re: Official Image Collection
You need to replace your "components.bmp" with the "newcomponents.bmp" supplied in the zip.
I will make that automatic in the next Versions.

Re: Official Image Collection
SJ:
I was thinking for the next SE:IV Gold patch, it might be a good time to remove some of the less aesthetic (useful) images and reorganize the files. Since most modders will be updating their mods at this time, they'll be able to make the necessary changes to their mods to correspond with any imageMod changes.
I will likely be donating a hundred or so new planets at that time as well.
