Issue With Steam Workshop Image

[Mayor Skyline]

I have managed to get my mod to show up on Steam Workshop after making the preview image a bit smaller.

I was then told that if I uploaded the preview image with the mod at a size of 256x256 that it would show at the correct size. It doesn't, all that shows is a black box and when you visit the link itself then you see the logo but with black bars at each side of it.

This is the current mod page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1358357433

Any fellow mod authors here able to help me out?

I see plenty of cool radio stations with their logo's showing in the workshop so it must be something I am doing wrong.

I'm not really sure what the issue could be, but I can tell you what I did and mine shows up fine. My image is actually a 1280 x 720 jpg saved in the root of my mod's folder. From the Mod Editor, since trying to browse for a thumbnail will only show tga files, I just pasted in the full path to the file, including the file name. When I uploaded the mod, the 200 x 200 preview image was showing just fine. Also, 16:9 seems to be the ratio of the image when viewing the mod details page, so if you try using a 1280 x 720 image, even if the smaller preview still won't work, at least there won't be any black bars on the detail page image. Hope that helps!

Ok so the mod editor wants TGA but the Steam Workshop wants JPG/PNG?

Marvellous.
