TGA's in pk3 compress as much as PNG does, unless you RLE compress the TGA, which makes it compress less inside a pk3. Avoid RLE.

Most Q1 engines out there feature JPEG support, adding it should be a simple matter of grabbing the source code, finding what's required, and doing it. OK, it's lossy and it can be crap, but I think it's still a valid thing to have.

also tga has a really old bug where it flips textures which you then have to correct engine side .

jpeg is ok as long as you dont try alpha channel textures (looks really crap) png is quite a load better in that regard but can make load times a bit high if theres a lot of textures (especially if compressed inside a pak).

im toying with jasper support instead of jpeg since most of the ancient jpeg bugs have been fixed and its still developed.
