PNG's...

What's the best format for PNG's that we use for textures? PNG24?

[Anton Hesselbom]

Best quality is Png 32, but it obviously has a bigger file size than 24-bit PNG.

What about pixel density? We are using 96, we only have a few
graphics like 6, all are under 40kb but we run into out of memory
errors when loading them into a texture atlas.

Pixel density (I'm guessing you mean DPI) really doesn't matter - it is the dimensions of the actual image, how many pixels wide x how many pixels high.

Are you loading 6 textures to one atlas, how big are they dimension-wise?

[kevin_d]

They are large, 2 are the size of the screen 480x320, the others are
all somewhere around 150x80 (doors and such).

Thers is something odd going on there. I have at least 4 512x512 texture atlas'.  I'm assuming you are using power of 2 sizes?

Yes one texture atlas thats 1024x1024, should I be using more?

Stephen: I believe the limit is ~16mb, so theoretically you can have 64 512x512's

kevin: What device are you running? Dependant on how much memory your phone has, you may be limited. For example, I cannot create a 1024x1024 texture atlas on my G1, but I can on a NexusOne

[Stephen Charman]

1024 is asking a lot on a g1 like richard says, it only works sometimes

This happens in the emulator, "the the texture atlas cannot fit the
texture", the error is similiar to that but not exact. I think im not
using texture atlas's correctly.

[Stephen Charman]

Are you specifying the coordinates when you add them in? If not it tends to fail if you don't add them in the order largest to smallest

[kevin_d]

Thanks..Ok, I will try adding them in largest to smallest I was not
doing this.

Thanks that was it, I also split up the textures into 2 texture
atlas's and now it loads fine. Thanks again.
