No I asked why you wanted to option to choose. If the game can do PNG then why would anyone want the option to save in shitty BMP?

Because we may also consider adding support for JPEG, JPEG2000, TGA,  GIF or a bloody WMP (not sure if they ever released it), thus would be nice to make it as generic as possible.

Doesn't seem like something we should support if someone wants to save in obscure, lossy formats. We can save in a popular space-efficient lossless format that works with MS Paint and most software. If someone wants something more obscure they can use said tools.

I think that PNG is enough and all we really need...

But wish to see that picture hanging more informations in metadata like Caps, Players with their Kills and Deaths. Also IP of the server.

Completely agree with this. It would be a shame to waste resources on a format choice when in reality nearly nobody needs that choice. Plus it just adds another weird option to the already cluttered soldat setup tool imo.

I guess I'd like it more if we could just get rid of that confusing setup program altogether and bring some of the essentials there to the in game menu (resolution / fullscreen / other options?).

Yay for weapon modding changes, or how about yay for modding changes.
If ScriptCore DrawText functionality isn't added by next version then I'll throw a knife at somebody.

I don't understand your problem. DrawText is there for centuries.
Though for safety, I'll try to remember to remove the knife then.

I gotta learn to stop making these posts at 2 AM.
I meant all those DrawText functions/parameters from script core v3, mainly the draw text ID.

I think it's not worth the time. Replacing BMP with PNG is enough.
Maybe also replace all BMP files with PNG if that doesn't affect load times too much.
