profylebryon said, August 23, 2010, 08:24:39 pmrgb method won't work because it will look crappy afterwards. i rather sacrifice loading time than the quality of the stage but that's just me.Just to clarify, the "slowdown" being refered to is lost frames, choppiness, and reduced speed during GAMEPLAY, not loading time. All of those are a big nono for fighting games. I don't know what the "rgb method" is(photoshop?), but if yall mean reducing to 256 colors then ya, this stage would look pretty crappy like that. Not worth it. That's why I suggested what I did for it, though I see that's not possible from Cybaster's post. Bah.
RGB method is separating the image into 3 layers (Red, Green and Blue, aka RGB), and displayig them one over the other with transparency.It doesn't bring any colorloss, exactly as the jigsaw method (contrary to what profylebryon said). If the image turns out crappy, especially with the gradients it is entirely due to Mugenonly displaying 16 bits images, while images can go up to 32 bits.This problem is absent from Mugen 1.1 alpha, and stages with gradients are perfectly displayed.
well im try to see how it will look in the RGB Method since no one likes the jigsaw method that much so i will post a image to show what it would look like.
Recommending F12 for your screenshot needs. Also, looks like it looses a lot with RGB; it's washed out and I see loss.

Nero91 said, August 25, 2010, 06:03:05 ami didnt use ditheringWhat did you use to do the RBG method?You can clearly see the results of dithering in the trasnition from dark to light in the sky above Ken's head.Maybe it was automatically set to dither w/o you knowing it.
that was just how the image was i didnt do anything to that part of the image and i used Cybaster program just to show that it would have color lost if i used RGB method although i could have did with out the program but yea i have another stage that i was making and i dont know if im going to release it cause it aint working right but i had to use jigsaw on that stage to i try to cut the image myself but i still had color lost in that stage i might post that one in the projects section
I just post my 2nd stage in the projects section its called Space Odysey and if anyone has any ideas i would appreciate it thanks

I have to disable that the forst time I use it (for example, after reinstaling or format)
