Bumped, and



Seconded.

Someday. Someday.
Phil?

Halp, I appear to be listed on the spreadsheet twice and the uglier avatar has taken priority :'(

could somebody take out the Mairi line with http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/667/maiavi3.png and leave http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5442 ... vatar1.png pretty please?

Weird, I could have sworn your preferred avatar was showing up just a few days ago. Should be all fixed up.

Ooo! That reminds me. Skycust has been borked for me for quite a while.
No custom avatars. No floaty phil/Chesterfield Taft head to set options. No shirt. No shoes. No service.

I just got it working again, but just in case anyone else runs into problems, here's what I did to get it going.

In Firefox 3.6.3 with Greasemonkey 0.8.20100408.6, I uninstalled Skycust and reinstalled it using the second link in the first post of this thread: "Greasemonkey script (userscripts)".

On that page, find the green "Install" button near the upper right-hand corner (ignore the tempting "Remotely hosted version" and "Script homepage" links - the Workarounds listed there didn't work for me).

There is one remaining bit of wonkyness: after scanning through a few threads, it appears that Kitteh, Kyra and Lord Gilbert are missing avatars. There may be more; those are just the ones I've noticed so far. Any ideas?

A few of the avatars are broken links because their hosting went down. ('S what I get for graduating.) We have an archive of them and expect to be able to put them back up.

That'll learn ya.

I claim I've reuploaded all the avatars Skycust was missing on my account. If you notice any more anomalies, please let me know.

I am back. And I bring gifts!

Skycust had a few bugs:

1) 404s were not being dealt with by being ignored and people were seeing a lack of an avatar for people, which is not fun. That was a stupid mistake, and should be fixed.
2) The memoization wrapper was completely borked, and thus so was the simple server type. No one has apparently noticed because no one apparently cared about simple servers. The wrapper has been removed, and the simple server has been fixed.
3) The Chrome extension wasn't displaying nice names for simple servers, because I am stupid. Fixed.

And as an added incentive to update, a beta feature! Blacklists are currently in shouldbeworking: the logic is that overriding a user means that you will always want to see a certain image for a certain user, regardless of however the servers change, and blacklisting an image means you never want to see that image, whoever it's for, but would want to see any other avatars for that user recommended by other servers. So, if a user had two avatars recommended by different servers, and you happened to dislike the first one, then there was no way to say "I don't like that image, but keep going through the server list to get to the second one." There is now

(I guess the initial post's example of overriding Sluor's horrible image would be better served by blacklisting that image instead of overriding Sluor to original.)

Update from the usual links, or just twiddle your thumbs for chrome users

Update once more with feeling. I seem to keep finding old bugs in Skycust today - this one has to do with the behaviour of the server editor when nothing's selected.

Would love to have this be my avatar.



Thank you!

Hm. I coulda sworn that was already your avatar.

Anyway, done!

Lord Gilbert's avatar isn't loading for me - using the default config.

WFM - can anyone else reproduce this?

Nope. Works for me, too!

Interesting.

Let's see. I have two spreadsheets in use and in the following order:
spreadsheet("txW-R89lun35ZOhZGM8N50g")
spreadsheet("tSOPONq3I1v4-Amk0INakgg")

I seem to recall seeing 3 at one point. Could that be the problem?

Nope, those are the two default ones, and Gilbert's is in Alternate Style. Are they showing up as that string, or as their names? ("tSotW Skyrates Style Avatars" etc.)

Also, can you see this image?

Also, what are the exact symptoms? Gilbert has his standard avatar? Gilbert has nothing at all? Anything else?

They show up as...
tSotW Skyrates Style Portraits (with a custom string that reads: spreadsheet("txW-R89lun35ZOhZGM8N50g"))
and
tSotW Alternate Style Portraits (with a custom string that reads: spreadsheet("tSOPONq3I1v4-Amk0INakgg"))

And yep, I can see the image in your post, but Gil's avatar is simply missing from his posts. Kitteh's is MIA as well (but Kyra's is showing up now - see this old post for context).

I'm not showing anything being blocked by Adblock Plus and there are odd filters or proxies between me and teh intarwebs.

FF 3.6.9.

EDIT: FF 3.6.10, now.

...That should never happen, anymore. Aaaargharghargh.

One last thing to try - update your FF, your greasemonkey, and your Skycust. Just in case.

If none of that helps, I'm going to have to ask you to do some Deep Debugging. Can you install Firebug and then we'll have to do it over chat. I'm most easily found in #skyrates, Freenode.

For people to see my avatar, will I have to have it put on the one of the moderated spreadsheets? Or do most people have the unmoderated? Or do I just have no clue about how this works?
