PNG: why is it not supported?

[jfcwilson]

Hi,

Is there any techncial reason PNG in not supported?
Cause it'd be great to have PNG and, even better, motion PNG support.

Thanks,
James

P.S.
Oh, and(off topic) I wondered whay AM's cubic panorama's are so choppy, while those made with, say, Pipmak, are not?

I agree with PNG, especially for transparency!

I would like to see support for PNG with transparency, too.
All images that I have to convert from transparent PNG's to transparent GIFs lose a lot of their quality.

Definitely agree as well..Alot of programs support PNG, so it's nothing to work on it and save..Instead I have to open up gimp or whatever--having to resave as GIF [lost quality]...I'm not crazy about working in it in gimp...Other programs I have don't support GIF but they do PNG....

Me too!

Yes, I'm waiting for it too! Gif has a poor quality. That is why I ain't create TPP games.

Here's another vote for PNG!!!!

Exactly! As far as I know, Wintermute Engine (freeware too) perfectly works with png pictures! City Interactive created adventure TPP "Art of Murder" with this engine, and it was a perfect work! Please, Png, png, png once again! Gif sucks!

This could help if anyone had enough time and knowledge to work on a plugin...
