VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.27.3 S3 Ch.7] [Tropecita Games]

[Trope95]

[Sorry to ask a tech question, but with the uploader who supplied the original (Trope) here regularly, and a 99.9% chance that several people on several different browsers/configurations tried to DL it, it seems like the ideal place to ask.]

This devilish Erika image attachment clearly was originally a PNG (original filename still visible when opening the attachment in a separate tab/window). When I go to DL, however, it is an AVIF that I don't want.

Is that something that (a) F95 is doing automatically now when larger images like PNGs are uploaded for attachment, or (b) is it something new my browser is forcing on me on my end?

I think it's something on your browser. It downloads as png for me. Can you try the above post with Cupid Erika, please?

Once again, someone deceived us with the fat kid, the white wings, the bow, and the arrows.
The best bonbon in the box has black wings. No, they aren't stained with chocolate.
She can shoot me whenever she wants.
I think she already did.

It's the same for me. I conducted various tests and it is not the fault of the browser. This only happens in this forum.
It turns all files to AVIF. PNG, JPG and others. Also those files that I once downloaded correctly. This change took place quite recently.

These files are not what they claim to be. I just checked both images (Devilish Erika and Cupid Erika) and although both of them have a file extension ending in PNG, they are not PNG files:

$ identify -verbose Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png
Image:
  Filename: Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png
  Format: HEIC (Apple High efficiency Image Format)
  Mime type: image/x-heic
  Class: DirectClass
  Geometry: 1920x1080+0+0
  Resolution: 72x72
(...)

I'm getting a similar effect. When I try to open it in photoshop, it won't open it and says it's not a png too. I can't figure out how to make it tell me what the real file type is, but since it's not a png, I'll take UG's word on it ... (EDIT: for some reason, I couldn't even figure out how to load it as a raw file, nor could I change the extension, which I've been able to do in the past. I have to figure that stuff out now ... next week when my convention is over.)

Also, the file I downloaded from Patreon IS a PNG (according to photoshop anyway)

Wow! I didn't think of checking the properties. I guess it's something the forum does, though, but the issue jI11jaCksjAkk had is that it downloads as an AVIF, so I guess it's also a forum issue then (perhaps depending on the browser used to download it).
In any case, here are the files as attachments. Let's see how they download.

 

[TonyMurray]

I can't remember where it was, but I did see something in another thread about auto-converting to AVIF. Was it possibly something to do with getting the forum to accept Webp files? (Not that Webp is relevant here, of course, but it could be something linked to that "fix".)

Hey Guys, i have a Problem with Playing Season 3. I played Season 1 and 2 without any problems, so i started 3 loaded the last save of 2 but when it starts, there are no images. Error "Image c19s008_... not found".
Does anyone know about this issue and how to fix?
I really like this game.

If I try to download the image, I have the follow option (I‘m on a iPad, don‘t know if another OS is the same):

Okay its running now, I copied by hand the c19 images from S2 to S3

Your save wasn't from the last chapter in Season 2 (that's why it tries to load c19 images instead of c20, last chapter, or c21, first chapter in Season 3)
I included the images from the last chapter in Season 2 (c20) in case anyone had a mid-chapter save. I can't include every chapter's image or the split into Seasons wouldn't make any sense (it's done because of size reasons).

 

[Trope95]

OK, more on the format change issue.
I made some tests and:
If I open the image and use the download interface it downloads as a png

If I open the image and right click on it and choose to "Save as" it downloads as an avif
So it's something the forum is doing with the images. I guess that's why sometimes I only see one of my own signature images and, on other occasions, I can see all three of them.

You would think that it should be simple, right? But noooo...

I opened the two images from the original posts, then clicked on the download button in the top right corner of each image. This caused the image to open in a new tab. The full URL for each of them is:
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2025/02/4571560_Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png
https://attachments.f95zone.to/2025/02/4569026_c07s004_020.png

Oh, they have the PNG extension so everything should be fine, right? Of course not! Checking the HTTP response headers sent by the F95 web server shows that there is an issue:

And the results when I check the actual contents of the so-called PNG files should not surprise you anymore:

$ file Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png
Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png: ISO Media, AVIF Image

$ identify Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png
Special_49_-_Erika_1920.png HEIC 1920x1080 1920x1080+0+0 8-bit YCbCr 0.000u 0:00.001

Same for the other file:

$ file c07s004_020.png
c07s004_020.png: ISO Media, AVIF Image

$ identify c07s004_020.png
c07s004_020.png HEIC 1920x3240 1920x3240+0+0 8-bit YCbCr 0.000u 0:00.003

And to make things worse, having the image as attachments does not seem to help at all. They lead to exactly the same URLs from attachments.f95zone.to, so these are always the converted files.

The weird thing is that the sizes displayed under the attachments (1.5 MB and 9 MB) do not match the sizes of the downloaded attachments (300 KB and 1.2 MB). I tried clearing the browser cache, doing a force-reload of the attachements... no luck. The HTTP response given by the F95 web server is always the same and always gives me the AVIF files with a misleading PNG extension, instead of the original PNG files.

I think the forum forces to change all graphics files to AVIF due to a smaller size. Probably the forum is already clogging.
The change of file extension also gives nothing because the attempt to open in the graphics program only causes a message that the file is damaged.

I went through all of this with Firefox when webp was new. IIRC (which I may well not) your browser tells upstream which image formats it can accept (which list you might be able to influence) and the server picks the one it likes best (without your input).
