==Uncompressed DDS files from the ggpk for the wiki==
:Older items:
If you've been trying to get images for the wiki from the content.ggpk recently, you'll probably have noticed that they are "no valid dds file".
* [[Path of Exile Wiki:To-do list/3.19.0|To-do list for version 3.19.0, Lake of Kalandra]]
* [[Path of Exile Wiki:To-do list/3.18.0|To-do list for version 3.18.0, Sentinel]]

* [[Path of Exile Wiki:To-do list/3.15.0|To-do list for version 3.15.0, Expedition]]


The image files are compressed with google's brotli library. The first 4 bytes of the file are not part of the image data, but rather a byte-size of the uncompressed image.
==More about the site==
Some "dds" files may also be text file to contain a pointer to another dds file (like <code>*2DArt/Whatever.dds</code>
*See a list of [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]].
*See what the community is currently [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|talking about or make suggestions]].
*{{fullurl|Project:Community portal|action{{=}}watch|text=Add this page}} to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] and stay on top of things!


If you don't want to handle that yourself you can use PyPoE as long you install the brotli library manually, basically follow those steps
==Administrators==
* Install Python 3.4 (NOT 3.5) and [https://github.com/OmegaK2/PyPoE PyPoE]
{{:Path of Exile Wiki:Administrators}}
* Navigate to the brotli releases https://github.com/google/brotli/releases
* Download the lastest wheel for 3.4, i.e. Brotli-0.5.2-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl
* Install with <code>pip install Brotli-0.5.2-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl</code>


Then using the pypoe_ui command in the ggpk viewer, you have check in the options menu that dds files are uncompressed upon extracting them.
