ADOM tutorial

Yeah, you aren't the only one risking death hahaha

I have updated my LP site. The index page now
offers the option to view the LP's with small,
medium, or big pictures. This is to help account
for the difference in resolutions that monitors
use. The pictures for the new pages aren't larger,
they are the same pics, they only display larger,
so should load just as quickly.

At least for me, only the small pictures actually load at all.

I just checked them all agian, and they all loaded
fine for me. Are you sure you didn't click on a link
for a page that has no pictures/comments? I think some
of the LP's didn't actually go the whole 49 pages, I'm
just too lazy to delete the links that were generated
automatically. Could someone else check the site to
see if it works for them?

EDIT1:
Ahh, I think I may have found the problem. I forgot to
upload images 559 to 599 for the farmer guide. If it
was the farmer guide you were trying, maybe try it
again.

EDIT2:
Got 2nd barbarian LP indexed. I hope.

Nope, I've tested this on the first couple pages (and a few randomly chosen ones) of each walkthrough. The images load fine in all situations on "small", but never on Medium or BIG.

From what I can tell from your source, your image links in (for example) the medium version of the second Barbarian walkthrough are being generated as "..\adom_000.png" instead of (for the small version of the same walkthrough) "adom_000.png". This gets interpreted (by Firefox, at least) as a link to "http://plog.atspace.com/barb2/barb2_med/..%5Cadom_000.png", which is nonexistent, instead of a link to "http://plog.atspace.com/barb2/adom_000.png".

Switching the backslash to a forward slash will cause it to correctly be interpreted as a link to an image file in the next directory up, instead of incorrectly being interpreted as a link to a file called "..%5Cadom_000.png". I'm not sure how notetab light works, but as that's probably the only place you're using backslashes in the entire document, it would be simple to use any text editor and simply do a mass find and replace for backslashes to replace them with forward slashes.

Apparently this is only the case with Firefox and other browsers that use Gecko; I've tested under multiple browsers that use WebKit (Arora, Epiphany, and Midori) as well as Links (which uses its own rendering engine) and had no problems, while Firefox and Galeon (both use Gecko) encountered problems. NetSurf, which uses its own built-in engine like Links, also encounters problems. Very interesting all around, and now I have seven browsers installed and no plans to remove any of them.

That seems like the kind of mistake I would make : )
Thank you very much for finding that. I will fix it as
soon as possible.

EDIT: Got it. I think : )

[Captain Platypus]

Looks fine now. Thanks!

I noticed on the farmer LP that pages 24 and 25 of the small pictures don't have comments while 24 and 25 of the Medium and BIG pictures do. I personally like the small ones since my scroll finger is lazy.

Started a new LP. Comfy, the hurthling fighter, has started his adventure and so far he really hates me. Pulling Yrrigs while in Berserk tactics (OOPS) is really painful.

Triple post ftw! Comfy is dead to the phenomenon commonly known as "playing while drunk". I forgot I was supposed to take screenshots too so no one gets to see whatever horrific death he succumbed to (which I can't really remember anyways).
