No releases imminent ? Now don’t be teasing us; some of us are sensitive. I cry easily.

That’s because I am very sensitive.

No contribution is wasted.
I just wish I had the background, knowledge and time to do what you modders do.

Then I’m stumped about why the thread.

“Just want to let people know not to despair as there's way more where this came from:” made me think there was more to come and something was being done with it.
Not a problem, but I just expected that the thread was promoting that something was being developed. I guess I read into it something that wasn’t there.

N.P. Ogg, we all occasionaly fall victim to suggestion and misreading, now don't let it happen again, I'm trying very hard in my bestest English to not have these types of misunderstandings and any release threads I have will have the word RELEASE in it, anything which doesn't is just a teaser, as you obeserved correctly. That should keep you and me out of trouble (I hope). VonBeerhofen

How did eminent even become part of this ? A clever play on words. imminent? eminent? Say them fast enough they sound the same but they have very different meanings.
Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

It seemed inappropriate to me and other moderators I asked to look at it.
It seemed a snide shot. Where was the vocabulary misstep ? Who made it ?
Yes, they have very different meanings and to us it looked like you were making an insulting point.
Clever ? Maybe too clever.

The visual difference between a 24 bit tile and an 8 bit one is negligable, especially with tiles which have no detail on them whatsoever or created from a .JPG, it only slows down framerates. Even if those tiles were 512 x 512 pixels they wouldn't look much better and slow down framerates twice as much. They're just huge areas of green with nothing on it. When these tiles are created from a .JPG, like many terrain sets I've seen created from Google Maps, then it's totally useless to have them as 24 bit because a .JPG uses a simmilar compression as an 8 bit conversion. I can't even see the difference between my hand painted 24 bit 512 Harvest tiles and their 8 bit conversion, and those have 10 times more information on them then the shown set. Here's two tiles in UHR, posted long ago by Col. Gibbon as a 24 bit .BMP on the left and my 8 bit conversion on the right. I don't think the difference justifies the drop in framerate with a 24 bit .BMP. For a fair comparison I didn't convert it into a .JPG, it wouldn't leave much of the colors intact. It would be very hard to find satelite photographs which weren't color optimised for use on the internet unless you'd taken those photographs yourself with a superb camera and I believe it isn't any different with Col. Gibbon's tile. If you'd want such detailed photographs from a commercial satelite company you'd better pay up or else you'll endup with what's shown here. http://rabartel.home.xs4all.nl/SpotTheDifference.bmpVonBeerhofen
