DDS Converter from http://www.ddsconverter.com/ is recommended for converting files. Once you install it there is very little you need to do.

  • Find the icons you need from the game (Copying them to a scratch folder is the easiest way)
  • Open DDS Converter and click the add button. Select all of the images you want to convert and click ok
  • Choose the output folder.
  • Set the Output Format to PNG
  • Click the Convert button
  • Click OK twice
  • Click Close because it's done

Upload images to the wiki either by using the Embedded file dialog when editing a page, or by clicking Upload file in the Tools links section (to the left using the default wiki theme).

Images should not be renamed. This makes finding them more difficult and it breaks pre-formatted data exported from the game. There are very few exceptions to this which can be found in known issues starting at the asterisk (*).

You are strongly encouraged to add the name of the block or item to the description so that the image is easier to find in the future.
