Image Management

Overview

The Taintless Vehicle Shop system includes automatic vehicle image generation functionality with customization options for specific requirements.

Automatic Image Generation

Vehicle images are automatically generated when a vehicle model is loaded without a corresponding image file. This ensures all vehicles have visual representation in the showroom interface.

Custom Image Implementation

File Requirements

• Format: PNG (.png)

• Location: vehicle_images directory

• Naming: Vehicle model name (e.g., adder.png, zentorno.png)

Installation Process

1. Navigate to the vehicle_images directory in your resource folder

2. Add PNG image files using the exact vehicle model name

3. System automatically detects and displays custom images

Technical Specifications

• Recommended Resolution: 1200x675 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio)

• File Format: PNG with transparency support

• Container Display: Images scale to 65% width, approximately 90px height

• Display Mode: Contain (maintains aspect ratio within container)

• File Size: Keep under 500KB per image (larger files significantly impact loading performance)

• Optimization: Use compressed PNG files to reduce loading times

Image Priority

The system follows this hierarchy:

1. Custom uploaded images (if available)

2. Automatically generated images (default)

Troubleshooting

Image Not Displaying

• Verify file name matches vehicle model exactly

• Confirm file extension is .png

• Check file is in correct directory

Performance Optimization

• Compress PNG files to minimize file size

• Keep all images under 500KB to prevent loading delays

• Maintain consistent dimensions across all images

• Remove unused image files from the directory

• Large file sizes directly impact showroom loading speed

Custom images override automatic generation for enhanced visual customization.
