WOHOOO!!!
Using a quick app I threw together to resize the bitmaps so they'd all fit on the single plane format Spring uses I was able to merge the entire race into my game! MUAHAHAHHA
This is the little utility I did up...
But now I've got 2700 textures loaded for units w00t!!
And whats better, I resize them using high quality algorithms (Bicubic) and they look just as good after being saved smaller.
