That's really good, what kind of compression are you useing?

Thanks Lachprog! :)smile.gif

I use TTPack from the TTTools suite -- I believe it uses the LZW compression algorithm.

Yeah LZW is great for grayscale, and b/w compression especially. And also just about anything.

Although there are some variations of LZW that are better, like the one used with GIFs and PNGs, but the GIF LZW compression technique is copyrighted, and you could get a fine for implementing it. ;)wink.gif

There are 10 types of people in this world-- those that can read binary, and those that can't.

Well... the meeting within Lord Blackthorn (cutscene) is complete...

- required 850 bytes to implement (expensive, but worth it!)  o.oblink.gif:gah:fou.gif
- 64 scripted player movements
- arrested by the castle's guards
- subdued and blindfolded
- chained and manacled
- lengthy dialog involving up to 3 questions
- responses to the questions determine the permanent fate of a party member
- remainder of party thrown into the dungeon

That was fun to implement! ^_^


No screenies lest I spoil the fun! :ninja:ninja.gif
