Loading my Sprites is taking too long

OK so... I changed some of my images to AtlasSprites, about 20 of my images in total and I cut my loading time to 1/3 of the previous one. It has proven a little tricky with regards to placement but it has been worth it. Now it is almost imperceptible. One of the PNGs is smaller than 3 of my previous ones.

I used this texture packing tool: http://zwoptex.zwopple.com/ recommended by the guys on this thread: http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/3112 and used the generated coordinates plist to figure out the rectangles for my Sprites.

Thanks a million for all your help. If anything new develops I will keep this thread updated.

Good stuff. What have you done regarding the layers for your liquid and container?

The liquid levels are all inside a texture that I generated with the tool I mentioned. This tool disregarded the original size and took them down to their minimum expression by taking into account the transparency of the PNG.

The container I still kept as separate Sprites given that the AtlasSpriteManager will not allow for each Sprite to have it's own blendFunc. So I ended up having about 5 individual Sprites and then 2 major AtlasSpriteManagers for the rest. Instead of having 25 separate Sprites as I did before.
