Yes. And this would even be quite easy to do. We'd need to incorporate plib's
SGI loader into fg/sg, and make it the preference
ssgAddTextureFormat(".rgb", fgLoadSGI);
etc. Then we can do whatever optimizations make sense. Of course, this would
suggest that we more strongly depreciate all other texture formats for the
time being. Maintaining our own SGI loader is really no problem. It's a very
stable and well understood process.
It's bad enough that the Nimitz consumes no less than 64,081,920 MB, but that
the Eisenhower uses *as* much, even though it's floating around in a different
part of the world is really irresponsible. (And to make it clear: that's not
Vivian's fault. The 512x512 super-high-res halo for the deck "mule"s beacons
seems to be an accident. And that it's loaded 28 times, well ...)
The texture list also uncovered one of my bugs: empty.rgb -> 262144 Bytes!?
Huh? That's "empty"? Argh, I committed the wrong texture. The real one is
just 640 Bytes. (Heh, don't look into the false one -- it's secret!)
