Title: SUPER interface tip
Post by: FreeTerran on April 10, 2003, 10:59:32 am: OK guys i have a super tip for interface painters.

When you convert the color to 8bit then klick in PSP 7 on

COLORS then
DECREASE COLOR DEPTH then
256 COLORS 8BIT then
OPTIMEZED OCTREE and ERROR DIFFUSION not NEAREST COLOR

and then press the OK butten and look you can see no changes of the color schema but it is converted to 8bit and goes in FS2. ;7

I get the feeling that this is what people were going on about when they said that there wasn't too much of a difference when images were reduced to 8bit. Using an adaptive palette, instead of standard.

Do you believe them now, Mr. Terran?

Post by: Kamikaze on April 10, 2003, 10:06:21 pm: Respect is often earned from being respectful, I would think that's a very basic concept of social exchange. Free Terran hasn't really displayed that, acting like a 10 year old doesn't help either.
Perhaps people are a bit too hard on him for his english, but most of his reputation is solely his fault and problem.

I suggest you console Free Terran into being a more mature member if you fret about respect (the lack of it).

Post by: KARMA on April 11, 2003, 04:14:21 am: boh his english isn't much worse than mine, btw from my experience in internet communities when someone act in a immature way, flaming is not the best response... give him the infos that he really needs and just ignore him in the other cases, and if he spam, swear or whatever over a certain limit (not in this case), well, let's leave the moderators do their job
