RE JPG

<p>This program is designed to <strong>fix problematic JPG textures</strong> used in <strong>OMSI 2</strong> (and similar simulators).</p><p>In many maps and addons, some JPG files look fine in Windows but fail inside the simulator due to:</p><ul>
<li>
<p>progressive JPG encoding</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>incompatible subsampling</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>incorrect metadata</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>broken or non-standard JPG headers</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The program <strong>does not visually modify the images</strong>.</p><p>Its purpose is simply to <strong>open each JPG and save it again</strong> using a fully OMSI-compatible standard encoding.</p><h3>What does it do exactly?</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Recursively scans a selected folder</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Processes all <code>.jpg / .jpeg</code> files</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Internally converts images to RGB</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Saves them back with:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>baseline JPEG (non-progressive)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>maximum quality</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>no subsampling</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>no unsafe optimizations</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Automatically skips:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>[Originals]</code> folders</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>hidden or system folders</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>locked or protected files</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Displays live progress in an integrated console</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Creates a detailed <code>log.txt</code> file</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>What is it used for?</h3>
<p>After running the tool on a map:</p><ul>
<li>
<p>textures that previously failed will load correctly</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>OMSI loading errors are reduced or eliminated</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>no loss of image quality or resolution occurs</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It is a technical compatibility tool, <strong>not an image editor</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> Do not run this tool inside the OMSI 2 installation folder. If you do, it is entirely at your own risk. It is strongly recommended to run it on a map folder <strong>before installing it</strong>.</p><p>This tool has solved issues with <strong>white textures in OMSI 2</strong>, which are usually caused by <strong>incompatible or corrupted JPG files</strong> that OMSI 2 cannot properly load.</p><p><br></p><p>Available in <strong>Spanish, English and German</strong>.</p><p><br>The <strong>.zip</strong> file includes the <strong>Python source code</strong> and a <strong>compiled executable (.exe)</strong>.</p>
