Remember that any images you upload into any of the RPGMaker social groups can be downloaded by anyone via the (upcoming) Zelaron portal. In other words, if you're reading this, it means you are responsible for the RPGMaker content on the Zelaron portal. Make me proud.

Maximum image dimensions is 1280x1280 px. The size limit per image is ~1 MB. If this is insufficient, let me know.

There probably needs to be some way to tag images, using something other than the filename to search - otherwise, anyone searching for sprites will have to look through the whole thing, when they probably just want some random Cloud charset for their Final Fantasy 7 fan game (they are ALL FF7 fan games)

... Or will it just pull descriptions and such from your albums?

For now, you should manually add a prefix such as "[RMXP] " to the caption (note the space), followed by the intended name of the image. Once I devise a "proper" prefix system, I'll make the appropriate database adjustments for you.

Hmm, this could potentially become a problem. Images are stored in the format "user".$userID."_pic".$pictureID."_".$hash.".p ng" (For example: user15818_pic56_1214975902.png)

As far as I'm concerned, RPGMaker 2000 and up should read .png files by default. I am unsure about the older RPGMakers, and if the rather odd file name could become a problem. Thoughts?

Filename's fine, PNG files aren't an issue (in fact, they're preferred), but the color depth is - 256 colors only in RM2000 / RM2k3 (except for RM2k3's tilesets, which can be 32-bit). RMXP can handle 32-bit color just fine, though.

But yeah, there definitely needs to be some sort of tagging system, especially for system type. Although, honestly, you can tell just by looking at it, you'll get complaints anyway...

Attempted File Type -> Target File Type


Of the top of my head, here's a conversion list - though it hasn't been directly tested by me recently, I'm fairly sure this is correct:

RM2k3 Charset -> RMXP Charset = FAIL(Extra frame of animation in RMXP, and image dimensions)
RM2k3 Portraits -> RMXP Portrait = N/A (RMXP doesn't have portraits by default)
RM2k3 Tileset -> RMXP Tileset = FAIL (Image dimensions are incompatible)

RMXP Charset-> RM2k3 Charset = FAIL
RMXP Portrait -> RM2k3 Portrait = N/A
RMXP Tileset -> RM2k3 Tileset = FAIL

RM2000 Charset -> RM2k3 Charset = OK
RM2000 Portrait -> RM2k3 Portrait = OK
RM2000 Tileset -> RM2k3 Tileset = OK

RM2k3 Charset -> RM2000 Charset = OK
RM2k3 Portrait -> RM2000 Portrait = OK
RM2k3 Tileset -> RM2000 Tileset = OK (Just need to set the color depth lower, though generally this looks horrible)

(Hilariously, when I went to install RMXP on this machine to check, AVG 8.0 flagged it as adware for some reason.)

Also, I can't check VX, I don't have that one handy.
