Compressing Blp? or tga?

All my skins come out to be like 180kb , but I saw in war3.mpq less than that

ex. my blademaster skin is 180 kb and in wa3.mpq its 80kb

is there any way to compress it? maybe its done in photoshop?

Do NOT compress skins in Photoshop or PSP 7. They WILL NOT work..... I don't know how much clearer I can be on that.

dude i'm mad angry at u right now cause u didnt answer my question.

Oh, so you want an even SIMPLER answer?!?!?111?

Ok here ya go:

Yes you can compress .tga files in Photoshop and PSP 7. GO to the 'save as' and there should be an option to compress....

Now, HERE's my problem with ya. Why the hell would you want to compress a .tga when it makes it un-usable in WC3?!?!? It will not work in WC3 if it is compressed. The .mpq files automaticly compress it for ya a little, but don't do any extra compressing yourself.

then why the hell is the original skin 80 kb and mine 200? did you read the question, its 'YES' or 'NO'.
if you dont know the answer don't reply

NO!

P.S. Is your skin 180 before you import it or after?

the original question was

"is there any way to compress it? maybe its done in photoshop?"

its yes or no

your answer

"Do NOT compress skins in Photoshop or PSP 7"

it doesn't answer my question, it only answers part of it.


and I answer :
Is your skin 180 before you import it or after?

-After, obviously

Here's what I'm trying to tell you:

Yes, you can decrease the size of your skins in Photoshop, but they won't work in WC3. The is NO way to compress them any more that allows them to work in the game.

So the answer is: Yes, but don't do it.

ok, I actually figured out what the leak was,


thanx anyway
