Uploaded image gone wonky?
« on: December 04, 2008, 03:01:41 PM »
I've just uploaded a new custom image for a new toon, instead of using all I selected in the boundary box it did this instead this instead

and when you look at the image on the profile page it would look weird Example

Seems the cropped image size was incorrect...
The posted /cropped image shows 200x160 px

So thats why i think it's duplicating the top/bottom part.  Try recropping that from the original screenshot and see if you can make it 200x200... or crop it outside and upload an already cropped image..
hopefully  it would then work..

Just added one of my own to one of my secondaries, seemed to work fine for me..

Actually, Ice, the image you uploaded is 190x200.  If you look closely at the right side of the image as it displays in your character profile, you'll see a slender little bar of the image repeated.

My guess is that the script that creates the profile and inserts the picture tiles it as a background image.  (Which would explain why you have to click to view the background image in that field to see the original image.)

I might go as far to say Steiner messed it up too... :D lol

SP is concocting a better way to upload. Not sure when he'll get to it, but it will trump this way for sure.

I used a 1280 x 1024 screen shot, when selecting what to use there were gaps between the selection and the image edge.

There was no difference between what I do normally and what I did and only mucked up with this one

Something's definitely gone weird with the image cropper, and I'm not sure what it is. I'll try and look at it tonight if work cooperates.

You're totally right, eabrace.. i missed the thin column there.. guess the contrast in that pic is not the best, but was the 1st i had quickly available..

I've messed around with loading a couple other different images and I notice a couple of things, if any of these may help SP on figuring out the bug

- The 'size' of the cutoff part seems related to the size of the original image.. cropping an image that was originally 1680x1050 gave me almost 'half' 200x100 .. whereas cropping a relatively small original image 258x273 gave me that 190x200

- If you upload an image that is *exactly* 200x200, it does not fail, yet it does not replace the previous  "big image in the main profile page.. oddly enough, it does update the smaller thumbnail in the 'manage character' page..

Hope that helps...

It seems to crop in the same ratio as the uploaded image. If I upload one that is 230x 350, it cuts off one of the sides, if I upload 800x600, it clips the bottom. If I upload a square of any size larger than 200x200, it crops it correctly.

Yes, I'm having this same issue.  Uploaded image and then cropped appears as a split double image.  If I upload a 200x200 image it doesn't show in the profile (just the image for hero Avatar, the circled star). 

Is this fixed?  Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks.

Upload a 201x201 picture. It crops it correctly and will show it on the profile. That is what I did with this character.

I've got a new and improved version about 80% done.  Been pulled a ton of ways this weekend but rest assured a fix is coming.

I uploaded a couple 200x200px images for some of my alts. They didn't load, but I at least got the icon saying an image was attached to their profiles. After playing the game with a completely different alt, and then returning to upload a new shot, I find that the previously uploaded images are no longer even being recognized.

All of them I have uploaded at 201x201 are still there and showing correctly. As long asyour image is square and at least 201x201, it works fine.

Was about to start a new thread about this, but found this one instead.

Should I keep trying until it takes right? Or, should I crop it myself and try it that way?

[edit]
As per the suggestion above, I cropped an image at 201x201 and it took just fine.

All right, sorry about the time it took me to get from "80% done" to "100%", but - I just pushed live a much more improved version of the Image Upload / Cropper tool.

  • People who upload exactly 200x200 images now bypass the cropper completely.
  • The weird aspect ratio bug is gone. You should always have a square image again.
  • The selectable area when cropping is no longer a fixed 200x200 area.  You can dynamically resize the selection area to get the exact area you want.  Keep in mind that selecting a smaller area than 200x200 will work, but your final image will probably be pixelated and not look so great.

I noticed that now all of the images I've uploaded seemed to be either stretched or squashed; I can't tell which. They were all uploaded at 204x204 (I believe) and cropped to 200x200 with the tool provided. Should I just reupload my images at 200x200 and bypass the cropper?

Bah, nevermind on my end. Apparently it's Firefox; the images looked fine in IE.
