html problem

[Xai]

Back again! Overview problem, it says it can't find the graphic I prepared for the overview. I put the graphic in the mission folder as a jpeg. Basically, I'll just copy and paste the section of html relating to the picture. I think I must have done something wrong, what though? I don't know.

<p align="center"><img src="overviewpicture.jpeg" width="314" height="310"></p>

make the image 256x128 and try again... think that's the right size...

The picture you are trying to be in the overview and the display size I believe both have to be powers of 2 (ie:256 x 512).

The file must be saved with sides a power of two in pixels.    However, the display size can be anything you want.    

In other words, you create the picture that you actually want.   Save it with sides a power of two, which distorts the image but it doesn't matter because when you define the size in overview.html you use the original (undistorted) dimensions.

Usually when you screw up on the dimensions you get an error message.     If it says file not found then you've misnamed either the file, or the code.     I'm no expert but I always thought the actual file extension was .jpg, commonly pronounced jaypeg, not .jpeg

Thanks all. The mission will be available shortly in the Mission Depot!

erm.... you have beta tested it first, right?

just checking...  :-\

[macguba]

I would hope so.   Only about 10% of untested missions are even functional.    

[Xai]

:-\ Not functional? Mmm, well, whatever. I'll beta test it then but I can assure you it works. Except for this damn overview picture which is still giving me the same gip. I'm using jpeg, I was fairly certain that was supported, it is, right?

[bedges]

yes indeed, .jpg is supported.

as gubes mentioned above, you may want to make sure the file extension is .jpg rather than .jpeg. what difference this makes i'm not sure, suffice it to say .jpg files always work for me.

check the names match perfectly, both the filename and the name used in the overview. that's the only reason i can think that it wouldn't be found.

are you using photoshop by any chance? what are the original dimensions of your image, in pixels? not the dimensions in your html file, the actual size. if the size was the problem, again as gubes points out, it would give a different error, but just in case...

[Xai]

How odd, it seemed to simply be the file extension! .jpg works, jpeg. doesn't. Meh, how strange.
