JPG support

[Alex Lowes]

Will AGS support JPG format ?I beed it for high resolution )low memory)compressed pics.made for my Police ques 4 style game.

[Scummbuddy]

make them in bitmap, and then import it.  great picture and its all compressed the same.

AGS previously supported the import of JPEG images, but because of the lossy compression scheme in JPEG, and you WON'T get your game file sizes reduced using it (since every bg imported were converted to some identical internal format), so it's never recommended to use.

SO how can I make a somwhat a good looking pic to have a very small size file cause bmp's are not so comppresed like jpg

anyhow isn't it simple enogh to reenter the jpg support back into AGS pumaman?
