Alright gotcha, I had saved all to 256 color bmp and only 2 went down in size, however it was significant. As for those who want me to upload, I have attatched the shipset in a rar folder. Included are the two 256 color bmps. The problem remains that the filesize could definatley be smaller.

I understand. But if one were to use the above method as TJ had listed, you'd want to set the tolerance to about 9 or so. Some of the black tiles are dark. Also, I don't want to trouble anyone with this, but I appreciate your offer ThunderJam. I will try to fix this problem myself for now then. And Purge, im not sure what you two mean by saving the PNG with color depth at 256, because MS Paint has no fuction like that. As for PNGGauntlet, downloaded and installed it, using it now. Update: PNGGauntlet makes no difference, it says it cannot compress any further.

Well I started out using png files, but even with PNG Crush, the filesize was rediculous. The png shipset was about 1.34mb! So I changed them all to jpg and it went down to around 530kb! But once again had another setback. As soon as I changed format, the ships decided to film black pixels around the ships and I can't remove it with MS Paint. I used the Fill With Color function with the color blue to see all the damage done. And this is what I get: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9782/errorpy8.th.jpg (This is ship1, all ships have been affected by the same pixel damage however.) So I went over some of the black stuff with pencil, then re-filled with black and saved. Re-opened the file and filled with blue again only to see nothing had changed at all! So basically, I cannot get rid of it myself. Im thinking someone with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro might have the tools for this. Is there anyone on these boards that can help me with this problem?

Yay! Problem is solved. Feel free to lock this topic now.

This is a sad day indeed.

Any swift response to this question is greatly appreciated!
