I need to know something: How to compile sprites. I have 3 masks and 3 sprites for a ship, one normal, one banked left, and one right. Now what?

Did you run them through m2s/p2s/whatever yet? If not, do so now. Next, you'll need to put them one on top of the other in an image editor (such as Photoshop, Gimp, or Graphic Converter) in the following order: not banked, banked left, banked right.
Once you've done that, copy the completed sprites into your plug-in, set the ID's appropriately, and make a shän. You'll want to run them through EnRLE eventually, but that's pretty simple. Good luck.

done, thanks. Nah, ill just give the graphics as a jpg....
You can use jpeg right?
Uncompressed JPEG can very easily be saved as PICT-format, but make sure it is UNcompressed, or you'll end up with a bad result.

Aren't JPEGs compressed by their very nature? You can control the degree of compression to an extent, but it still happens. And you should be able to turn them into a PICT regardless of the degree of compression, as long as you can open the file in a graphics editor. The quality will vary, depending on the degree of compression. Perhaps that's what you meant?

Yes, you can use JPEG compression for the PICT resource(s), but you want to run them through EnRLE because it cuts down on the loading time and required memory for Nova, not because it saves space.

Jonathan Boyd:
You are able to save a JPEG-picture in an uncompressed version. What the idea is or how it happens, I don't know.
If, in Photoshop, you select Save for Web, there's an option called "JPEG Uncompressed", which I believe saves an uncompressed version.
Cheers, Denb
but if it has to be in pict, wont windows users have trouble reading it?
I've never seen a version of Photoshop that lets you save as 'JPEG uncompressed'. In fact, i just fired up version 7 and checked. No option. What version did you see this in? Are you sure it was JPEG? You can save as quality 100, but that is still actually lossily compressed.
