Fifi,

Have you looked at possibly reducing the size of the ship TGA files in the Sea File?

I notice that they have a 32 bit color depth which could be reduced to a 24 bit color depth and reduce the file size down by at least 1/3 ( i.e. file size 1024KB goes down to 759KB ) without affecting any noticeable difference in rendering. Is it really needed to have 32 bit, as you could save some space and speed up loading. I have done this with my uniform files.

Something to look at.

Good hunting,
FUBAR295
