ok to shut you all up and stop you killing this off with death by discussion:

SVG while a nice idea is unrealistic. None of the lobbies currently use SVG icons yet and very few modders actually know what SVG means nm how to make them.

Let this be the end of it.

Scalable vector graphics, amirite?

Anyways, this means that I actually need to make a decent icon for the humans and revamp the aliens one, heh heh.

SVG

No

While you are all implementing this, either make sure spaces are supported or give us tags in sidedata or resources.tdf or something.

(our factions are "Galactic Empire" and "Rebel Alliance", therefore the sidepics have to be "galactic empire.bmp" etc)

[AF]

Lobbies tend not to parse tags in files at all

[Gnomre]

Well, whatever, just make sure spaces work then

[MelTraX]

Just a thought, but do we want to keep the bmps at all?

[AF]

Something like this would have been done ages ago but betalord has always insisted on bitmaps, which I assume is because he didn't want to have to add png support to tasclient, so the discussion between me hollowsoul and him broke down.

So for now I would keep the bmp for backwards compatibility and use the png if its available.
