We used the original Gamers artwork. The PNG maps along are around 7 meg.SamB said:I have web space that could be used. But why is this sucker so large? Beta? :surprise:
I hear Gary Krockover has had a lot of success converting png files to jpg thus decreasing the size considerably.gregdahl said:We used the original Gamers artwork. The PNG maps along are around 7 meg.
I thought that it was the ".gif" that had the possible patent issues?SamB said:I can also convert png files to almost any format.
BTY, I understand the reason Rodney K used png files was because of a patent issue with jpg's. Today I read that the court threw out the patent. So jpg's have no royalty, etc...
Yes, it was .gif unless I missed something. If jpeg's are in a patent situation, then I'll have several clients get very upset when I have to charge them to redo their websites with different image formats!Keith Todd said:I think it was the gif's that had patent issues. Seems to me if it was jpg or jpeg, it would have been primetime techie news.
3BoM!!!!!! :surprise:![]()

By the way, did you get the orginal artwork for the OCS games - the original .tif files (and then convert them to .png)? If so, do you have access to other games from The Gamers, such as the CWBS line of games? That would save me a TON of time when I eventually get around to do a module for 3BoM. :yummy:
Thank you!gregdahl said:The new version of the Burma module for OCS V1.3.1 is available at

Thanks for hosting it Keith!.
Somebody has to keep pushing you!!GJK said:.....
Re: 3BoM. Very much want to do that one, but it's behind RSR (print map and VASSAL module), A44, update to Carrier module and I'd also like to do Prados' Third Reich. I'm never getting out of this chair and away from this computer....![]()
Oh cool! I haven't had a chance to play that one yet, so let me know if you find any errors or anything broken within the module.Keith Todd said:I started a PBEM game of CWB Thunder at the Crossroads, great job on that one too, Gary.
