256 is such a small number

im lookin to

Use .tgas instead of .lmps for menu graphics, conchars, and hud

Batch .lmp converter

And an explanation on what an .lmp file is. I know its a quake image but i need to know about it (ie how much bit depth, file structure, etc.)

Thanks!

A .lmp starts with two ints - width and height. Following that is a stream of bytes (of length equal to width * height) that are indexes into the Quake palette. Couldn't be simpler.

ok so it has to be the quake palette? Any batch converters or any way to replace them with .tgas?

[revelator]

definatly

several engines support tga conchars (or png or jpeg or ...) you get the drift look in gl_draw.c for draw_chars then compare the code from an engine like say joequake with the original to get an idea
how it works .

tenebrae got a simplistic way of doing it (close to the original) but you might want to go with joequakes textureloader (tenebraes textureloader is rather unstandard).

ok. Were do i find tanebrea's technique? And does proquake 4.70 psp supprt tga conchars and other textures?

[leileilol]

32-bit tgas are something you don't want in a texture cache of a sony platform

i never said 32 bit

Targas without transparency hm
Makes sense.

They have to be 32 bit to be transparent? Does that include pink color transparency? Can i use pcxs instead?

1) yes, only 32b targas support transparence
2) pink color transparency? i dont think so. but i never tried it.
3) sure.

ok nd is pcx implemented in proquake 4.7 psp? How do i make the engine look forthe pcx?
