IMAGEPACK - Filetype recommendations & ECC standards
Hi All,
When sharing a imagepack, i see many GIF's / TITLE PNG's / Wrong extensions of images...please use this filetype for the following slots:
PNG : ingame (all) ; media icon
JPG : cover (all) ; booklet ; media flyer ; media storage
- Please never use GIF's & ICO's, convert these to PNG! (http://www.irfanview.com)
Thanks in forward!

If you have the right cover for the version of the game (e. g. German Cover for the German version) you should use this cover!Media cover --> JPG (no gif/png), please try to use the ENGLISH version of a cover!

Hi DerMicha!
in most cases, no need to "convert" the ico to png with programs.
only, try to rename manually the extension .ico to .png in windows and if windows asks your confirmation, accept the changes.

Hi Jarlaxe,
Better not to do that way, because the files will still have the ICO header inside, with an PNG extension
, better is to convert these to PNG with BATCH-converting (Irfanview)

Re: IMAGEPACK - Filetype recommendations & ECC standards
The first post seems to be inaccurate, at least according to IPC 1.0.0.7 code...
IPC 1.0.0.7 tells us :
PNG : ingame (all) ; media icon
JPG : cover (all) ; booklet ; media flyer ; media storage
Who shall we trust ?
I regret to not having watched this code before ending my imagepack, fortunately, there are few games for this one

Re: IMAGEPACK - Filetype recommendations & ECC standards
Hi wAw,
It seems in the first post:
Ingame title --> PNG (no gif/jpg)
Ingame play --> PNG (no gif/jpg)
Media cover --> JPG (no gif/png), please try to use the ENGLISH version of a cover for English versions if available.
Media icon --> PNG (no gif/ico)
= THE SAME AS:
PNG : ingame (all) ; media icon
JPG : cover (all) ; booklet ; media flyer ; media storage
Right?
Maybe i should clearify the post a littlebit
