Sharing Resources with the Community

Adding an Image

Each upload you want to contribute, should have a relevant image. So people can see what the result is, whether that’s a script render, or a flame pack. When choosing images for your JWildfire file or flame pack, it’s best to choose a size that’s clear and provides a good preview of your content without being too large. An ideal image size would be around 1024 x 768 pixels or 800 x 600 pixels. This ensures that your image is detailed enough for others to view without causing slow load times on the site. If you’re unfamiliar with resizing images, you can use free tools like GIMP, Paint.NET, or IrfanView. Simply open your image in the tool, look for an option called “Resize” or “Image Size,” and enter the desired dimensions. Save the file as a JPEG or PNG for the best results. This way, your uploads will look great and load quickly for everyone!

The importance of a good length description of your upload

Creating a detailed and meaningful description for your upload is crucial because it helps others understand exactly what your file offers. A good description should include key features, any special instructions, version numbers, and what makes your upload unique. This is important because it allows users to find your content more easily and makes it more likely that they’ll download and use it. A well-written description also helps in categorising your upload correctly, which improves the overall browsing experience for others in the community. Taking the time to write a thorough description ensures your contribution is appreciated and valued.
