Where have all the thumbnails gone
- Thread starter jguffey
- Start date
In TRS04 and earlier inclusion of a thumbnail was so easy you would be daft to not include one. The TRS06 (and I assume later) requirements are such that I (and I assume many others) simply couldn't be bothered.....

I know three or four creators at least who are having problems with this at the moment. If you are uploading with TRS2006 or TC you must have a thumbnail in the package or CMP won't send it up. If the item is reuploaded sometimes it takes the thumbnail on the second attempt. These are all experienced content creators who have had no problems with this in the past. My gossip says that the guy who looks after the DLS is on vacation.

This may be a humorous post by Andy but I am concerned about my content not showing a pic. I've done everything as should be done yet, a pic did not show on the DLS.
I believe the problem lays with Auran and not with us creators.
This is not the case either. I have a pic in the main folder of all my creations.
My pics show up in the game, on my PC, in TO, on my beta testers PC, in his CMP and game, the TPRDD but not on the DLS. Why? I'm even using the pic in the main folder to display my model at my own web site.
In my opinion, content shouldn't be posted if a pic doesn't show. Auran should check to make sure there is a pic and that it does show. (But, then again, we all know what opinions are like.)

Here is some more complaining about and analysis of the same problem.

It's not the first thread about it, and I'm sure it won't be the last because nobody seems to know what causes it. It's definitely not all down to creators omitting thumbnails or putting them in the wrong place.

Consider this then.
If you are going to get something from a shop, you want to be able to see what your getting, don't you?.
And at the very least, have a decent description of what the thing is.
So then if you would like people to dwonload your hard-worked goodies, sell the idea by showing us what it is!

...does this explain why 3 assets with thumbnails called $screenshot$.jpg display OK, but another asset, also with a thumbnail called $screenshot$.jpg fails to display? No, it does not.

filenames have to be lower case ascii I believe.
No problem here
I must have done something correct every time I up loaded because a quick check of my assets on the DLS did not find any missing thumbnails. I only looked at perhaps two dozen examples so I might have missed some. We are talking about the picture that shows when you click on the details link of an asset?
As mentioned, it could be something as simple as naming convention. A look at some of my source files shows I used all lowercase names without any spaces but an under_score if there were two or more words.

I also might add that one of my assets is faulty. It isn't faulty on my PC or my beta tester's PC. It works from my web site and the TPRDD. I have asked Auran to remove it but it still exists, Why?
It's my little red caboose, [FONT=Verdana, Arial]371339:15001.
It's doing nothing but taking up valuable DLS space and it doesn't work downloaded from the DLS.
EDIT: This matter has been resolved. Thank you Alan...

Thank you again, Alan. I spent a lot of time on it and it works quite well, even if I do say so myself. LOL
It can be directly downloaded from here, though and all it's 'parts' are on the DLS;
