hey<br>the tga file format doesn&#39;t feel old to me<br>I remember it was used in serious sam<br>what I&#39;d say about its advantages is that : colors are up to 32 bits, there&#39;s an alpha channel and things are written uncompressed.<br>
It could be comparable to BMP with an alpha channel.<br>the fact of being uncompressed helps loading time for video games and other apps that load bitmap files on the fly.<br><br>you should look up those formats on wikipedia or on the internet very simply, to get more info.<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA</a><br>look in the list, very modern games such as Quake IV still use this format !<br><br>jonathan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
