[✓] Images do not load anymore for ALL my cases

[Mosy]

For some reason custom images do not load anymore, and playtesting does not load them either. (Both Google and Firefox same issue)
I deleted all cache and cookies and it still happens.
Has this happened to anyone, and do you know how to fix it? thanks.

Only about 15% of the images load, in the photo; evidence, places, and playtest are shown.

I took a look at one of your trials (the Gumshoe one), and it seems like you're using github, but you're trying to link directly to the files hosted on github itself, rather than on a github page. You might want to look at the steps in this thread about using a github page to link assets.

In particular, all the steps from this step forward need to be followed:

Spoiler : :

Go back to github.com and click the green "+repository" button on the right hand side, then name your new repository "<username>.github.io" without quotes or angle brackets. Username in this case refers to your GitHub username. It's important that the username match your GitHub username exactly, or it will not work.

Rather than this:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/mousyttr/ConvP2/raw/main/Masked3.png

The URLs should look like this, after you've taken all the steps:

Code: Select all

https://mousyttr.github.io/(whatever the path to the file is)/Masked3.png

For images, however, it would be easier for you to just host them on imgur.

You may want to use the Help & Support forum for things like this in the future, as this forum is for actual bugs with the engine, and the devs already have a lot on their plate, so it helps not to give them more stuff to sift through if possible.

Oh, thanks for the info!
I can swear this used to work just fine back then, the Gumshoe case ran flawlessly about a year ago...
DId something change within Github or AAonline?
Anyway, thanks again.

It seems like github changes its files' URLs internally every once in a while. The current URL for that image looks like this:

Code: Select all

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mousyttr/ConvP2/main/Masked3.png

Theoretically, you could just switch all your URLs to use that format instead, to fix it. But this would likely be a temporary fix if they ever change it again. Using the Github Pages method, or hosting on imgur, will ensure your files always have the same URL. (Until the eventual imgur apocalypse some day, anyway, like what happened with photobucket)

[Mosy]

Oh my goodness, no way o_o thanks for letting me know.
I never knew they actually do that. (F, Photobucket shall not be forgotten)
I never really liked using IMGUR because I heard if the file is not visited every 6 months, its deleted.
so we're kinda on the ropes i guess. I'll just have to follow the directions on the post. thanks

That's only if you don't have an account, I believe. The ones stored in your account are stored forever*. I've got some from 7 years ago still sitting around in mine.
*Forever as in as long as the site continues to exist in its current form.

Ahh got it. <3

This is no surprise, but nothing that I'm aware of change in AAO.

The problem is solved and looks like it has been for a week, so I'll lock the topic. Please start a new one if there are any new problems! Feel free to link to this one.
