.img files
These are text files that list images and their "point of origin" offsets:
frontend.img – lists all images in the frontend folder.
intfac.img – lists all images in the intfac folder.
The two numbers at the start of each line define the pixel offset to apply to the image when it's displayed on screen. This allows the position of the top-left corner of the image to be changed if required. For example, if you replace an existing image with a new image that has smaller or larger dimensions, you can use the offset to change where it appears so that it looks right on screen.
Burning oil resource images
The intfac_differentOil.img file defines the image sequence used to depict a burning oil resource on the radar mini map.
The cycle consists of 6 images (image_rad_burnres1.png → image_rad_burnres6.png) located in the intfac folder:
As you can see, the images are tiny and they are also different sizes.
