About me
Yes, I'm an admin! I'm not the best at styling pages, but I can try my best. I am an intermediate writer in Java and I like to use Photoshop as well as listening to dubstep. Makes me laugh when my spell-checker says "dubstep" isn't a word. I know quite a bit when it comes to computers, if only I had a better computer. :( I have access to the Terraria source code, and I can read it decently, so if you need confirmation to a drop percentage, etc., ask me! I love to watch YouTube videos, if I'm not editing a wiki, playing a game, or doing something else, I am on YouTube.

Contact Null
You can contact me via my talk page. That is the best way since I get a little notification thing when I got a message. I should be available on this wiki from 5PM - 11:30PM M-F and most of the weekend. I also randomly check M-F.

Images
To correctly upload an item image to Terraria, you should:
 * 1) Click on the item (in Terraria) so that your cursor has it and take a screenshot.
 * 2) Paste it into an imaging program. (Paint.NET, Photoshop (mspaint will NOT work))
 * 3) Crop the image so there is no space outside the image.
 * 4) Delete (make transparent) all colors that aren't part of the image.
 * 5) Save image as PNG.
 * 6) Compress as PNG (RIOT/pngout/optipng/advpng/pngcrush/pngrewrite).
 * 7) Upload.
 * 8) Wait around 10 minutes, refresh your cache (CTRL/Command + F5) to see changes.

Preferred way
This way will get you a perfect picture 90% of the time. Many NPCs are hard to take images of.
 * 1) Download this program.
 * 2) Extract the program to your Terraria Images folder found usually in "%programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\terraria\Content\Images\"
 * 3) Open the program and type the filename of the file you want to export as PNG for example: "Item_5" and leave out .xnb (you can also leave the text box blank to get every image in the folder)
 * 4) The image will be saved as "Item_5.png", usually cropped, transparent, mostly compressed, and in the PNG format.
 * 5) In most cases, you can upload the image. In some cases, the image will also have the animations of an NPC.

See Data IDs for the corresponding ID. For example, Item_5.xnb is ID 5, which is Mushroom.
