Why the mass upload of black-and-white duplicates of already loaded skill images? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:07, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * they are allready uploaded? i could not find them... could you give me a link to them plz? Gumby 13:19, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Just to clarify what I meant: The color versions are already uploaded, not the gray scale. Just wondering why you're uploading a whole set of gray scale versions?  Wouldn't the color versions do just as well if not better? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:21, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * User:Dashface created a table, which shows all the elites, and has the "still need to capture" ones grayed out. He did not upload all of them, and the images are pretty small, so you can't really see which one is which... So I converted all the original skill images to grayscale and started to upload them. I just thought they could be usefull (and they are very small in size, around 2k in average) Gumby 13:35, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * There is a reason why the images are small. Stuff which is not helpfull to the wiki but is instead used to be fun or for the use of only one user shouldn't take too much space. This includes such images which are only used for tracking one users elite skills. So please, uplead any of the icons you may need in the same scale as the DAshfaces ones. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 13:39, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I made the images intentionally so small (the original color ones are 20-30k in size) - but if you think they will be useless, then please delete them. I will stop with uploading of the others.Gumby 13:45, 29 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Actually, Gumby's versions are only about 2k while Dashface's are only around 1k - so not much bigger in file size. For those who want/need a grayscale version of the elites, I would rather these images become the standard for them, and Dashface should be asked to convert his use to these (fairly easy to resize a jpg smaller to meet his needs).  A single image of a player's character can easilly take up 50k of memory or even more, so these icons aren't a big deal in my mind. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:51, 29 August 2006 (CDT)
