::*What size should I use? For this image [[:Image:Mythos Uniques Quickdraw.png]] I scaled the width and height by 50%. You can see the size difference in the revisions. Scaling the width and height of the icons by 50% should bring the size closer to what players see in game, but of course the size depends on how players customize their ui scale. Alternatively, I suppose I could upload the icons full size and just scale the image in wiki code like this [[Image:Mythos Gems Bloodstone.png|32px]].

:::Nope I couldn't tell, but now it makes sense (btw how are you extracting them?). 
:::*I can try to clean up the images if you like, but the small ones like the bloodstone you put right there look perfect so I actually think that's the best way to go (simply upload a new version over the old). 
:::*Yes, transparent backgrounds ftw.  If you have photoshop, making the extra border pixels transparent as well is easy as pie (which is why I want to know how to extract the file if you aren't able to shop them). 
:::*Black background = bad because of the contrasting white (its just blinding).  For item images, larger will be better (even if you don't see it in game, the .dat image will have much more detail and thus be better for the site.  Again black backgrounds = bad but whatcha gonna do.) 
:::*For achievement icon images, get the largest possible (highest UI scale) for maximum detail (although you could probably get those from the .dat as well...).
:::*Again, upload full sized transparent gem images and scale them for the best look.
:::*Do not create new file names for images like gems and such - simply go to the image and click "Upload new version" to replace what is currently being used.  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 17:36, 29 June 2008 (CDT)
