Drop support for BMP, replacing it with PNG
riddle opened this issue · 1 comments
I’m sure there is a handful of image-reading libraries for Java and using Windows bitmaps wastes so much disk space (and bandwidth when those files need to be send through network), I think TerrainControl should cross this bridge eventually.
The difference for my 4,125×4,125 image:
- BMP: 51,1 MB
- PNG24 straight out of Photoshop: 321 KB (1:159 diff)
- PNG, optimized: 183 KB (1:280 diff)
Definitely a feature request and obviously not a high priority.
