PNG to 256 BMP

[PhobosGuy]

Hi guys!

I have some skin sets in PNG format but I want to convert them quickly without loosing quality, how I can do this?, MSPaint fucks up the sprites!

Why do you need it to be in BMP? PNG provides the exact same amount of quality.

[PhobosGuy]

Because I want all the sprites in BMP, like the other skins I've downloaded.

Well, then you must explain to me why all the skins come in BMP inside a WAD format.

It doesn't matter, I will figure it out how to convert the sprites...

They are not BMP. They are in the Doom picture format. Also known as "Doom graphics".

If you open the wad in SLADE 3, you'll see PNG identified as "Graphic (PNG)", BMP identified as "Graphic (BMP)", and Doom graphics identified as "Graphic (Doom)".

OK, I have the sprites converted to Doom format with SLADE, thanks.

And only six of 'em significantly different from other engines.

Perhaps, but you still have 0 reason to be using BMP. It has all the drawbacks of non-native formats, and none of the advantages of PNG. It's like the worst of all worlds.
