A fast, easy to use, free, and community supported 2D game engine
Perfect. Format seems to be stable now ;-)
Summary:
We now have 3 tools to create PVR.CCZ's:
This is now something to work with!
I must apologize for not telling the complete truth here: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/10526#post-61390
- I did know how to contact riq. I got 2 emails from him in April-2009
- He also answered a PM
I was refering to one PM he did not answer and thought that he was too busy to answer all PMs.
edit: I discovered a bug in my version, I will try to fix asap..
edit2: never mind, false alarm. Maybe a coincidence, maybe cosmic rays, everything works fine now.
I modified PNGPOTimizer to output the formats I think are useful:
Supported arguments:
[--pvrtc2] [--pvrtc4] [--rgba8888] [--rgba4444] [--rgba5551] [--rgb565]

Thanks for all the great input in this thread. The very nice gif-animation posted by Karl inspired me to write a simple Illustrator script which would align all swatches in a file to RGBA4444 alignment. It only works for RGB-documents mind. Here it is:

Hello.
This is my first post here, but we've been working with Cocos 2D for quite some time now over the past year.
There are certain tools, such as Adobe Fireworks, that can produce an 8-bit PNG with full transparency from a 32-bit image. We've been trying to find the proper setting for Texture2D setDefaultAlphaPixelFormat, since the benefits are both MUCH smaller PNGs and an optimized 256 color palette.
Our graphics are full color illustrations, so PVR is not an option here.
Any ideas?
@Total_Eclipse: It depends on what you want. Perhaps RGB4444 or RGBA5551 might work well with 8-bit PNGs
Thank you, Riq.
We're still trying different things to achieve the best result, both in terms of looks and performance.
