Activityi think we already discussed about something like this before.. anyway, before re-uploading RAGE screenshot (which i had already done) you should check
and btw i don't think that default controller bindings have some relevance
The ones I've uploaded are of higher quality (they use the .png format, which doesn't have any of the side effects of the .jpeg format such as pixelation).
And the controller layout screenshot I have are just to show where the controller button mappings can be changed. Default gamepad layout screenshots I find are useless, unless the option to switch between button map layouts are available.
It's your call if you want to keep those gamepad layout screenshots.
i know what are the side effects of a jpeg, but i think that once you use more than 90% of jpeg compression (and i did that with 98%) there shouldn't be really so much differences compared to png. i already compared compressed and uncompressed image.. and the difference wasn't noticeable
... i think that we should maybe ask somebody else opinion... let me check on irc..
Exactly why is this an issue? I've been replacing JPEG screenshots with PNG equivalents for quite a while now without complaints.
As I mentioned earlier, the screenshots I provide are of higher quality (i.e. lossless format, no artifacts). I only replace screenshots in the following situations:
- The screenshots are in a lossy format (i.e. JPEG)
- If the screenshots are lossless, then the images are outdated
Otherwise, there is no need to replace them.
Anyways, this issue has been discussed at length already (and a set of image guidelines was implemented recently). PNG is the preferred format to use.
There really is no issue at all. ThatOneReaper is following the recently set guidelines (although I believe that he did begin replacing lossy files with lossless some time ago) exactly as he can if he chooses to. If he was doing so in the opposite direction, one could be taking some issue, but in this case - discussing it is really not in any way productive.
However, one thing I would mention, for example in the case of Natural Selection 2, you could have uploaded the files on the same file name, keeping the file history in tact. If you desired to change their names, the files could have been moved as well. This is also mentioned in the new policy.
