I accidentally opened sprites with Paint.NET to convert them from PNG to BMP, but I found a trick that made sprites take up less space with NO LOSS OF QUALITY! Please keep in mind that this is mainly intended for LF2 sprites. Without further adieu:
1. Open the sprite sheet you want to compress on Paint.NET.
2. Click Save (or Save As if you aren't using a bmp file). You should see some options pop up for you.
3. Choose 8-bit. The dithering is set at 7 by default, but messing with it produces no visible results. I raised it just because I could.
4. Click "OK" and you're good to go!
I don't know if this is a similar method to what Marti had done to make each BMP file smaller, but I see it working fine without any problem at all. If you have problems with this, please let me know.
