...And before you tell me to click the upload button I've already tried that.

From compiling the university map I know that gif handles white space far better than jpeg (compresses better) and you don't get that fuzziness on the lines.

So my suggestion is always use gif when working with anything that uses alot of white or black space, or doesn't use many colors

[Enigma_Nova]

Would do that if I could somehow get the palette from SMAC into the Gif (but I think Gif has a set palette).

Scratch that; My i.Mage program handles .gif conversion just fine!

Problem is the Gif is twice the size of that Jpeg! :/

Great work! Very impressive.

Of course you could just ask the CyCon for the full map now

I saved a screenshot as a gif.
151k
I resaved it as a jpeg.
181k
I resaved back into gif format.
392k

The reason why is it doubled in size is because when you save as a jpeg lots of blurring occurs which increases the numbers of colors used and makes coloring more varied. So when you resave as gif it saves all that blurriness that the jpeg format inserted and hence takes more space.
