Open these images in a new tab to get a better look at the details.

These textures were made in Inkscape, and are designed to be as accurate as possible, down to the most subtle details. There are also branding changes, to reflect the weather provider used by RiiConnect24. They are 2.25x the dimensions of the originals to look their best at 1080p and lower.

Of course, this pack is also very much a work-in-progress. However, the prerelease provides a good taste of what's to come for the first pack dedicated to a Wii channel.

Resource Packs: V1 V2 After downloading, check the release notes to see what's been added and what's changed. These are inside the ZIP.

NOTE: This pack is only guaranteed to work with the US version of the Forecast Channel.

I'll move this to the Textures forum shortly.

You might want to purge out some of the Mac cruft from your archive (i.e. __MACOSX / .DS_store).

Is the cruft gone?

I don't know if you can see it on your end or not, but in my browser your images just completely do not appear.

To be honest, I don't see them either, and I have no clue why they're not showing up Huh

The host is mucking with it to block embeds. So the "direct link" (actual code below) requires javascript to be enabled for the image to appear. If loaded with javascript, the javascript adds a cookie to the system. Only with the cookie does the direct link act like a direct link and the image will appear like a direct link should, even without javascript enabled. That runaround is probably to explicitly prevent embedding on another website, such as this forum. :/

So you'll need to use a different host. imgur has its problems but it has worked well for me, so it's something I'd recommend for this. Just remember to use the direct link and not the imgur link. At least imgur actually gives a direct link when it appears to be a direct link.

EDIT:

If you look at the code you'll notice that the image it loads when it detects the cookie is "http://prayag.great-site.net/txpak/forecast/screenshots/sc4.png?i=1" That link works without javascript or the cookie, and appears to be the true direct link. However it still fails to embed on our forum, probably because there is stuff after the file type and it confuses our poor old forum system. ...and that could also be an embed defeat method on its own honestly. So yea, just, you need a different image host.

They initially hadn't shown up for me, but sometime between my initial comment and the second they did. They are currently showing up for me. Perhaps I visited the image site somewhere else to get a cookie?

***MayImilae*** · 02-27-2021, 01:41 PM #9

For me the images here in the page never load even if the cookie is present. But that may be because I have 3rd party cookies hard disabled and that counts as a fail to its detection.

Well, isn't this lovely and completely overcomplicated Rolleyes
