Warning to all modders responsible for Icons Mods (crew, tanks, consumables, equipment, shells, etc).

Wargaming has changed the extension of the icons from .tga to .png.
You will have to resave your icons accordingly if you want them to work in 7.4.

(apologies if someone already posted this)

This is good, it will make it much easier for us players to edit our own icon mods now, without having to find a program that can use .tga

ps. thanks for the heads up, I know now to make sure I update my mods before using 7.4. :Smile_blinky:

tga -> png is a piece of cake. And its not that bad of an idea if they finally support png alpha rather than requiring tga. Things like secondlife are STILL forcing tga if you want transparency.

Thank you, kind sir! But you can keep your nubs to yourself. You shouldn't be showing those to other people...!

Isn't there a program that can batch all of files and convert them?

Edit: Useful link...

You'll find a good one in there somewhere...

I have a better question, do the engine still support TGA ? If it still support it it may not be necessary to update old mod. Well, i can test it myself.
EDIT: no, it doesn't, so we NEED to convert them ...
