The VG Resource

Fixed!

(07-13-2014, 05:33 PM)UploadingShitOnly Wrote: [ -> ]I tried making a new section for a game you guys didn't have yet so I could upload sounds for it. After trying to submit the new game, I was presented with a neat "not found" error that said "The requested URL /psp/pending/viewtifuljoeredhotrumble/ was not found on this server." I tried fooling around with the URL a bit to see if it ever actually got created but I didn't get anywhere. Taking out the "pending" part of it simply says the game could not be found on a normal page..

I re-checked the code and I can't see what was going on here. I checked the database and don't see a matching game anywhere so it seems like it wasn't created for some reason though I'm not entirely sure why that might be. Unfortunately, this means my previous advice won't work here but I would like to get to the bottom of this. Can you explain exactly what you did to wind up where you were?

I'm not sure if this has been solved, or it's just my computer, but I've noticed that the uploaded icons still have the originals inside the new ones, along with the "Choose File" button under them.



I refresh several times, thinking it's another cache problem, but it didn't seem to fix the problem.

Quick Update: This problem only seems to work on the icons I haven't uploaded. The ones I have show the proper image when I refresh the page.

Ctrl+f5?

No, didn't work. Still see the icon within an icon and Choose File button.

So far, I've only seen the problem in Bubble Bobble: Old & New, and Breath of Fire II with Kid Ryu.

I'm seeing the same thing. The new icons didn't upload properly.

That is indeed very bizarre. That shouldn't actually be possible, even with a bad upload. I'll leave this one to Pete.

Okay, so I'm looking into this but, so far, it makes absolutely no sense. I'll keep you updated.

Double posting but for good reason! I figured out what's going on with those icons. I'm not sure why your uploads failed but I do know why the old icon is being displayed in the new container. In order to avoid writing icon containers where they shouldn't be (ZIP download icons and old icons), I'm checking the width of the existing image first. Old icons were supposed to be 107px wide so if the width isn't 107, I can safely assume we have an icon meant to be in a new container. I only checked one of the images you linked but it's width is 106 and I'd be willing to bet that the rest also aren't 107, hence the current display issue.

Replace them with a properly formatted new icon and the problem should disappear but in the mean time, it will stay like that since there's no real reason to fix the old icon.

My icons upload fine, which is why I was convinced there was something wrong with the (I assume) recent uploads in the games I've mentioned so far (Plus Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow). I apologize if I wasn't clear on that when I pointed out the problem.

Just to clarify, you're saying that you haven't tried updating the broken ones you pointed out? If so, then the cause is definitely that the old icons are the wrong size. If you have tried and they're not updating, there may be something else wrong as well.

Recently uploaded a new image to one of the broken icons, and after a refresh, it showed up just fine without the smaller icon, or the Choose File button reappearing. I just didn't want to touch them earlier because I was under the impression someone else uploaded those icons and I would have gotten into trouble uploading my own remade icons over them.

Ah, okay. Well I certainly appreciate the integrity and your help in getting to the bottom of this. Glad that everything seems to be working correctly (or at least explained) at this point.

Attempting to search threads in the July 2014 Archive bring up the "You may not post in this forum because either the forum is closed, it is a redirect to another webpage, or it is a category" error.

Sorry for the late response. I recreated the error using a bullshit game. If it somehow ends up being created, I apologize.

I went to the PSP section in the Sounds Resource and clicked on the "Add New Game" icon. It put in Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble for the name then clicked "Submit" (no, I did not upload an icon for the game, but I'll get to this in a bit). I was then presented with an error like this (except with a different URL obviously):
I thought maybe this occurred because I didn't upload a game icon and there weren't preventive measures programmed yet. So I retraced the steps but this time uploaded an icon for the game. However, I still got the same error.

However, I did what you suggested (changing addsound to addsheet) and that led me to the upload page for the game, and from there I was able to upload the sounds I wanted to submit.
