I haven't seen any such wad, so I don't see any sense in Independent JPEG.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why? WHY?!
THOSE POOR, POOR SPRITES, YOU MONSTER

Seriously, though... What was the reason for adding JPEG support to ZDoom, anyway? I don't see much use in JPEGs for games, what with all the ugly artifacting.
(I guess I might not get an answer, since that was probably done by Randy)

.jpg still works for actual photographs or photographic textures and you can put those in the game without a huge sacrifice in quality.

In fact, .jpg's only real weakness is any graphic that doesn't already have texture noise similar to its artifacting to begin with. You can easily make things like wood and dirt into .jpg's without a huge sacrifice in quality but save a lot of space over .png.

JPG is rarely used in ZDoom mods, but it can have its uses for things like large, high-res textures or skyboxes where per-pixel clarity isn't as big a concern.

Serpent: Resurrection
DoomRPG
Dump 2 and 3
some wad that nearly approaches terry-levels of enemy placements, forgot the name of it.

Did you really make Nightmare from Serpent: Resurrection? That track plays in the church map.

Maybe; haven't played it. Is it this one? If so, that's indeed mine from before I picked a proper artist name... meaning that's a hella old track, geeze. It probably pre-dates all my released Doom works.
