Subject: Re: Contribute unit art
gimp would be a free alternative that can handle PCX files.
Implementing PNG support in maxr should not be a very big effort (I even had a version of maxr supporting PNG files nearly ready sometime in the past). But converting all the graphics may will be some work because of the transparency.
So khsem, before you start creating the ingame graphics, we may should first talk about our possibilities to use PNG and we may should think about what we can do to use higher resolution images. The problem here would be to stay compatible with the original graphics and the resinstaller.
But i think this discussion should take place in an other thread
