Do not fill this in! === Wesley === It is not clear how this discussion is supposed to take place, this does not seem to be a forum. The first question is going to be what this particular page is going to be about? Is it just about patch format? (then it should call it patch format and not picture format). If it is about all the formats then it might have to admit to png and the other formats that some other ports use. The term "picture format" may mean different things in different Doom ports. In DoomLegacy, it refers to a picture format, that is used instead of patch format. DoomLegacy may dynamically decide to render a particular texture or patch using picture format instead. To do this it renders the patches into a buffer and then saves that buffer as a picture. I cleaned up the Doom picture format page because it seemed to be about the patch format, and kept trying to call it something else. The sentence about other formats is true, there are other formats in the modern implementations of Doom. The vanilla Doom may be pretty close to using patches for everything, but not many people who are going to explore the code are going to go to that source. I left it an ambiguous sentence that warned them to look out for other formats when these other page types are concerned. I spent several hours tracking down specifics, and then had to give that up because it was open-ended work.
