Sir-Kill Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Ok more about bams; I got to thinking that it might be nice to have multiple frames in the first sequence. for instance when you pick up a sword it can have a moving gleam to it or have an animated fire effect on it. would this be possible? or can IE do that already (doubt it)? I guess < 10 frames could do it. one more side thing ToEE uses JPG instead of bmp. Have you guys thought about using JPG as well? continuing good luck on this!

But we'll avoid adding proprietary formats (other than IE's own formats).
Sir-Kill Posted September 2, 2005 Author Posted September 2, 2005 the jpg was for areas not bams sorry if there was confusion. anyway about the bams was that what you meant about "avoid adding proprietary formats"? heh I do not understand what that means.
Orions_Stardom Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Proprietry formats are basically the opposite of open formats (those where the specifications and interoperability information is publically available, and where you don't have to pay a royalty for the priveledge to use the format). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_format . Avenger: JPEG isn't proprietry.
Sir-Kill Posted September 2, 2005 Author Posted September 2, 2005 oh heh heh thanks OS. I was thinking that it was something much more grand then simple ownership. I don't realy care about which format it is as long as it can have 16 million color, smaller then bmp, and good at holding the colors. areas can make a download much bigger and it might be nice if GermRB could use this. so any thoughts on the animated first sequence bams? Actualy 5 or less frames could do it.
Orions_Stardom Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 oh heh heh thanks OS. I was thinking that it was something much more grand then simple ownership. It actually is more than that - it's to do with the various ethical and technical issues involved with 'ownership' of a format (or of any software, or more generally any idea). EDIT: And PNG does all of that, too - aswell as often being even smaller than JPEG.
