I thought you had to "manually" pad them with transparency so they became 96x96px.

That's right, otherwise they'll become stretched.

 

[Semiurge]

Oh yeah, Infinitron

See that they won't get those strange light borders around them like the Uuno avatars did, despite their being the right size - less than or equal to 96x96px.

They are exactly 96 px tall without padding around the tallest vertical line, in most cases anyway. Should I do anything with them, and what?

This image for example is 48x96. If uploaded like that, it would stretch horizontally and look like ass. You have to manually pad it with a transparency to occupy the entire 96x96 space.

Oh yes, I got it now. Goes against the whole "no real-estate wasted"- principle. 'Course, xenforo might allow the stretching to be disabled so that images get displayed in their native resolution as long as it doesn't exceed 96x96.

An example of stretched avatars is the Rance X gallery (open the avatars in a new tab and compare). Maybe one day I'll try fixing them but I don't care that much for Rance. Maybe Jaedar can take up the challenge.

It's probably good for making posts appear the same regardless of resolution and who made the post?

The current Rance X stuff is a bit weird. Clearly someone manually cut out parts of larger artworks to try and get avatars they felt were cool. But then they didn't feel like they needed to resize? The selection is also weird because it's almost entirely artwork from the last 10% of the game
If I had a good way to download all the X avatars currently on the codex I would fix them (it's literally a single command line call), but it's a bit annoying to download them one by one.

Manually cutting faces out of artwork is also too much effort for me, I just mass extract, and then mass cut/resize/pad.
I do want to add more Rance X stuff, but there's 100+ characters and over a thousand notable variations (different artstyles, poses, etc). And that's just counting "card" artwork, if one includes actual portraits or full body renditions (I really like how some of the full character ones turned out when resized for the other games) it's more. And of course they need to be manually sorted to remove the NSFW ones. And trying to make stuff look good is not trivial, since they're all rectangular by default, and 96x96 means you can't see any details if the source image is not cut to approximately square first.

But, why on Codex of all places?

I think the codex should be somewhat SFW by default, and avatars go everywhere, so I'm not going to upload NSFW ones.

Also it upsets me when people dismiss the Rance series as mere porn.

 

[Morenatsu.]

Safe For Women? Are we talking about the same Codex?

 

[Semiurge]

Phantasy Star

So they have been padded with transparent space to make them all 96x96. Infinitron

I added a few more:

 

[Semiurge]

Uuno Turhapuro Muuttaa Maalle

I fixed the Uuno avatars with padding as well and added a new one:

Infinitron

 

[Arbiter]

Please add HoMM 3 Phoenix:

I scaled the image to 62 x 96. Do I need to pad it to 96x96?

Adding 96 x 96 version.

Btw the old Uuno avatars with visible interpolation artefacts still show in the folder for some reason. It isn't just me is it? Even the new one has a duplicate.

Infinitron only adds files and doesn't delete. You should've taken note of the original filenames and used them to replace the existing ones.

Then what's this about?

For some reason I can't quote your post, Semiurge ... No, I'm saying Infinitron just chooses to do it this way for convenience.

There's no hard rule about that, I was just confused by your post.

Base STALKER folder is missing some cuts from other and lesser-known official artworks.

How about some Darklands?

Most of the portraits in Archmage Rises are procedurally generated out of overlaid components, but a few are static:
