Same as Greebo.

File upload bit count, type, or pixel size: Failed Verification
 KI61_E.bmp does not appear to be the correct size (should be: 4195382 currently is: 4195384).
 KI61_P.bmp does not appear to be the correct size (should be: 4195382 currently is: 4195384).
 KI61_S.bmp does not appear to be the correct size (should be: 4195382 currently is: 4195384).

That whole thing is messed up.  Those files are 8 bit, gray scale, and are 1/4 the size being reported in the error.  I have no idea how you got that error message.

Even if you submitted them as the incorrect bit count, it would have printed an error before this.  Assuming the bit count is correct, there should be no way for that size to show for a 32 bit file.

Makes me crazy.

Are you sure the login screen was showing "Version 3.0D.2 (Beta) 12/21/2016"?

I am about to submit a test skin to see what happens.   Can I get a confirmation on what size the files *SHOULD* be for aircraft (in this case P-51D and B)?

I understand the primary is 32-bit.   The others are all 8-bit?

[Greebo]

If you take a look at the P-51D skins submission page it tells you all the required and optional files, their sizes and bit counts. For the P-51D and most skins though, the basic skin and normal file are 32-bit and the other files are 8-bit greyscale.

Skuzzy, are you aware the Ki-61 is a 2048 res skin?

[Skuzzy]

Yes, and the database has the size correct, but the numbers reported by FTJR are not correct.  Makes me crazy.

Working on a program to go through all the files and make sure all those values are correct (bits, format, width and height).  Had to add two more columns to the database.

Greebo, I think the problem you saw with the Camel was a PHP timeout on the upload.  I have extended it for the next series of tests.

[Greebo]

I figured if anything would break the page it would be the Camel with its twenty bmps. Would it help if I tried to submit a Ki-61 skin?

TORTURE TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[Skuzzy]

New version up!

Ok, let's give it a go.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Might try one of those skins which has the different height and widths as well.  Yes, the WW1 planes are quite intense.

I altered the timeout (doubled it).
Added two more columns to the database to take into account those asymmetrical bitmaps.
Reworked some more messages.
Reworked the size calcs, again.

[FTJR]

sorry...

Tried to submit the Tiger I again but got this error message:

 PZ6TRED_E.bmp is smaller than the default allowed pixel size width (1024).
 PZ6TRED_E.bmp is smaller than the default allowed pixel size height (1024).

So I tried a Jagdpanther, the only other AH III-format GV skin with track files I have done. This one uploaded successfully so the Tiger issue may be specific to that shape and not related to all GVs.

I also successfully submitted the Camel skin and a Ki-61 skin. My Ki-61 E, P and S files show a size of 4,195,382 bytes however.

This should now be corrected.

The PZ6TRED_E.bmp database entry was incorrect.  Should now work.

[Skuzzy]

By the way, I would not be surprised if there were some more database entries which need fixing.

[Greebo]

I managed to submit the Tiger I skin without any problem this time and also submitted a Boston skin. The page has accepted just about every type of skin now, AH1, 2 and 3 , 1024 and 2048 res, WW1 and GVs so I think all the major bugs have been sorted now.

[Skuzzy]

Well, I think it is worth going ahead and, officially, turning it on.

I have cleared any submissions or updates submitted.

Anything submitted after the date of the post will be considered an official submission.

I want to thank everyone for helping.  A special thanks to Greebo who went above and beyond in finding the errors in the database.  <S> all!

Still getting the error

For what its worth, when I clicked the submit button the wheel spun for 25 minutes before I stopped and resubmitted the page, the error was returned inside 5 minutes.

[Skuzzy]

Ok, that is bizarre.  Could you send me one of those files so I can figure out why yours are failing?  Just ZIP it up and email it.
