Patch Map Improvements?What's the new size/format/colours

[Morgoth]

Hi again ,
i had been making maps for worms for a long time and i used a ''pattern'' black image to start with.It has 1920 width x 696 height. I used to save at 256 colours bitmap.
Now I hear that png is supported. Does it mean the colour depth is improved too ? Or can I just use just 256 colours like I used to ?

To sum up, are there any major improvements in maps?

Thanks.

Note: You can't use 256 colours. Your maps must have a palette size of 256 but there can only be 113 colours in the map. (1 must be black).

But yeah, any size is valid as long as it does not exceed 30 something thousand in either direction and must be divisible exactly by 8.
