I have been doing some research regarding resizing 16px images without interpolating them so that you get an image that looks nice, rather than blurred. Like this: (Some admin with magic, please make the image 150px, I can't)



Anyway, I found a command line tool that can do some simple image-editing, called ImageMagick. I installed it on my computer, and it's current basic resizing method interpolates images just like everything else. However, I think that there is a way to make an option to remove all interpolation. You might want to know why it is better to have a command line tool than just using GIMP or paint.NET or something similar. With the command line I can type in a command, and it will do a whole directory full of images at once. If I manage to figure this out, I will take a copy of the mod assets and convert them all to wiki-quality images, then put them up for download via dropbox. That way they can be added to the wiki more easily by more than just those who know how to resize them nicely.
