I have access to pretty much everything in the game. The only issue is that I only have access to files that the game is using at the time that I'm playing the game. So this means that certain sounds, explosions, supply drops, as well as certain enemies and environments aren't available to me at this time.
But if I'm to upload some of these things to the database, what format should I upload them in? There are SVG files, HTML sprites, and images but from what I've found the PNGs don't contain all the information that the others do.
yes, on-demand assets loading, typical of MMOs and similar web games. conserves memory, iirc
i actually find it amazing how well flash mmos perform on even "crappy computers"
the on-demand asset loading may have to do with that.
.svgs are vector graphics, they can scale pretty much infinitely.
You can try/buy/pirate adobe illustrator, or download inkscape to export as png, but then you generally will have to assemble them, as vector-based sprites can consist of many thousands of pieces, and even, nested animations (one of the biggest advantages the "totally obsolete" flash player has over html5! )
pretty sure tsr accepts .png almost exclusviely, sounds should probably be in .wav or .mp3 format, but don't quote me on that one... Any chance you could send me some of these files? and I'll take a look. You might have your work cut-out for you, though...
