umm... linx?

short hand for Linux

Rather than using shorthand and causing people confusion, take the extra tenth of a second to type the entire word. Savvy?

Thanks that worked!

0 = BMP
1 = TGA
2 = PNG
(see src/engine/texture.cpp line 2075 [release], ~2480 [SVN])

There are some issues with JPEG (including the license I guess);
PNG is lossles so it's preferable anyway -
conversion to JPG before uploading (to reduce filesize) can be a courtesy though, but PNGs can often be smaller themselves, YMMV.

A flatend png is normally smaller than a jpg, but not out racking a tiff by a long shot. For ezness i would suggest using a jpg format, when uploading a screenshot to quad, and also when putting in the mapshot (the only reason being that all the map, for the most part, have jpg anyways). The other two formats are not worth your time, i would never use either one.

To convert a png to a jpg use gimp (listed above), or photoshop (if you have it). Try to aviod useing paint for reason i can explain if you want. Simply open the shot in gimp or photoshop, click saveas, then in filetype select jpg (or whatever formate). Then click save.

If you have any questions look at gimp/photoshop help, or ask on here. :)

thats just because there is no option 3 :P.
