Image quality and image file extension

[Exvayate]

Will the certain type of image quality or file extension cause a lag or slower running time?

Let's say in Photoshop you create a GUI for your game and you set the resolution to like 200 pixels/sq in
and saved it as a .bmp and you've programmed eclipse to read .bmps for the gui. Would that create a lag in running EO?

I honestly don't think it would lag the system.  However, it may help to add more capabilities for pictures.

Instead of
```
PictureBox1.Picture = LoadPicture("FilePath\FileName.bmp")
```
use

```
set PictureBox1.Picture = LoadPicture("FilePath\FileName.ANYPictureFileExtenstion")
```
and so on.  I just created code to scale an image to fit a picturebox if you would like that too?

hmm… I dont think that would work Escfoe.

Vb6 doesnt support PNG.

I tried that and got an error.

and yes I know what im talking about

Yeah, thanks peeps,

I forgot to mention that I have discovered all of this last night.

But yes, Yumi, .png's will not work for a stock version of EO for the fact that it runs off of DX7 which cannot support .png image files.
