GTAMP

Add filesize to bench "page" please.

//or dont you see zip difference in file size and only in used bandwidth?
// is it like gzip?

Edit: image test:


the zip is used for text parameter to compress the URL smaller.

I added the filesize now:
http://epicgta2.omnitude.net/gta2text/g ... 3D&z&debug

Edit: added better compression (previous compressed text parameter images may not work)

playing with headers now; added proper filename when you save image to disk (firefox didnt recognize it as a png file, was annoying to type .png myself there!) its using ymdHis date format so its easy to sort your pictures you saved and makes them all unique names.

Hey that is a good idea. I don't know what exactly you did, but when I now right click on the image in firefox to view it, I get a dialog if I want to download it. This way we only need to add a small "download" button and link to the image and presto!

WAIT... when you click that image link, it asks to download? im not sure if thats a good idea.

lets test:

Edit: crap, you are right... i dont like it lol

Edit2: fixed it, wont ask for DL anymore, but i could add it as an option on the page? still, i think its pretty useless since you can always right click on any image and press "save image as".

edit3: wtf is wrong with firefox font? WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA
looks like:

Render text smooth turned off? Restart?

i dont think i changed my settings, but i hate smooth text anyways, im not gonna enable it lol. (makes me feel like something is wrong with my eyes when everything is blurred).

I added timestamps for the images now; its fully automated: if i modify the gta2text.php, then the timestamp will change and thus all images must be reloaded again.

Wow, sound like a good adjustment.

how did you get that time btw?

not sure if it is correct, but just rmb on image and select image-info -> general info -> altered on: ...

//firefox

wtfux? i can only see my current clock time there lol.

ps: i think the changing filename makes the cache not work properly, testing if it does.

Edit: yup, i was right. the timestamp on the image filename messed up cache; when i closed firefox, it didnt load the images from cache anymore! but now i use a hash of the parameters, so the filename never changes for same image. better for saving too; you know if you already saved the file if you try to save it twice.

added JPG and GIF support!

PNG:
17580 bytes
1720 bytes
JPG:
14305 bytes
11271 bytes
GIF:
14281 bytes
1580 bytes

just add "&gif" or etc in end of the image url

NOTE: jpg doesnt support transparency

edit: seems like you were correct, gif is smaller :O

jpg is bull. it is for photo's not for these graphics.

gif is faster in loading and smaller filesize, but it is minimal.

compare: http://epicgta2.omnitude.net/gta2text/g ... 3D&z&debug

to: http://epicgta2.omnitude.net/gta2text/g ... &debug&gif

//did you do palette trick with png already?

seems like gif doesnt support transparency either

edit: wow, 18ms for GIF and 55ms for PNG

edit: i havent done palette tricks yet.,

Create PNG: 55.4 ms
Create JPG: 23.7 ms
Create GIF: 18.3 ms

JPG is pretty fast too

trying to get GIF transparency working now...

edit: i think i can make PNG smaller in filesize than GIF if i use 256 palette for the PNG image too.

edit: i tested png gave 1262 bytes with 16 colors, and gif 1580 bytes with 256 colors, weirdly enough: PNG with 256 color made smaller PNG than with 16 color PNG was, only 1133 bytes

can you make me 256 colored transparent PNG for the file "gta2font_normal_c0.png" ? i'll test if it boosts the rendering speed when theres less colors to draw.

I get this:

where is the shiny

sc folder is shiny. thanks for the PNG btw. atm im trying to make that damn gif transparent argh... so hard.

edit: your png isnt 256 colored? i see lot less colors. (256 colored PNG should be smaller in filesize) also, can you make the bg to white+transparent?

3.4 KB vs 5.32 KB

I did a use index colours in GIMP before saving.

now also added save trans background color, but I have no idea which color it is... gimp does not tell me
