Re: Flying Unit Question
The important part was actually...
PNG is great for keeping text readable, but when you include textures (screenshots of photographs, terrain, units, stupid vista/win7 window borders, etc) PNG file sizes get really big.

Re: Flying Unit Question
By the way png can be imagined as compressed bmp. (*.bmp.zip)
An empty white area with some black text on it is very easy to compress. (1-10kb)
But icons, terrain, units with complex textures, etc are hard. (300kb-5MB)
And that is when we use lossy jpg compression with quality set to 75-80%.

Re: Flying Unit Question
3ICE, After realizing how dead Wc3 is, and how 99.9% of my old friends quit long ago ( as did I back then ), I am considering buying Sc2 but I would like you to give me some insight on it while I consider it. Also, I would definitely be making maps so can you also tell me how the Sc2 World Editor is compared to Wc3's World Editor as far as triggers go, like do they have a wider range of complex and advanced triggers?
Also, can you upload a copy of your Starcraft 2 Editor? I want to open it just to view the GUI triggers and what not to get an idea of how it is compared to Wc3's Editor.
Thanks,
EqualiseR
