Is it just me, or you can't see unmarked youtube links in archive screenshot LPs for some reason? For some example, here: https://lparchive.org/Fire-Emblem-Radiant-Dawn/Update%2050/ Just after " If you're not Micaiah, then who are you?"

Looking at the size of the gap when highlighted, that's not a link. It's an embedded video that's not displaying.

Yeah there's definitely supposed to be an embedded "video" there (it's the BGM). I don't know what happened to it.

It looks like the issue is that the LP Archive is throwing a fit over trying to access YouTube via HTTP instead of HTTPS. Changing it to [url]https://[/url] in the embed appears to fix it, dunno how much of a hassle that would be for baldurk to fix or if it's possible to automate that across the whole site.

I generally don't allow embeds for this reason. I have it turned off in my forums options when fetching threads, but I guess I didn't for some threads. I can probably fix it but sorting out tindeck poo poo is more time-sensitive.

It displays as a regular youtube link in the original thread. Is that what the little video symbol before the link means - that it's supposed to be embedded?

Really Pants posted:I guess my main concern is: is it okay for everything in screenshots to be real real tiny, and for the battle screens to look like incomprehensible rear end That's 40 megs of pngs for a single update! Definitely use jpg for this. The screenshots looks fine to me, but they're a bit bigger than the archive accepts (900px wide) so it wouldn't be a bad idea to shrink them a bit more, or maybe crop the sides a little. You can always crop more selectively if there are parts where you think details may be lost - for instance, in this you could easily take out the border and let the image take more space. Battle scenes basically always look like incomprehensible rear end in a game like that; I don't think there's much you can do about it.

Lowering resolution can often help if text and UI elements end up too small, though I don't know about this game. As for the combat, I'd recommend giving a bit more of an in-depth explanation for the mechanics and actions in the first fight. I at least couldn't really grasp what was happening, which renders the whole update a little hard to follow. You can take a broader approach for later fights when the reader understands what they're seeing and can fill in the gaps themselves. Also if you can be bothered, maybe throw in the occasional gif to give people an idea of what it looks like in action, make it easier to parse the static images. Small gifs of abilities being used for example. Aside from what vilkacis mentioned, using imgur as the image host is a little unnecessary since we have lpix for that purpose. As a more minor note, you have some redundant screenshots, especially at the start which pretty much all show the same thing: quote:

Looking at doing a run of the Cataclysm: DDA experimental. It's a ascii game that has developed a tile set but is still text heavy. Not sure how to effectively display a giant menu full of text into a picture with a max width of 900px. Image format testing

Just gotta crop the individual parts of the menu into separate images. Since they're presumably always in the same spots, you can use IrfanView to just punch in the same numbers and batch crop them instead of doing it manually each time. Also consider what's actually interesting and relevant, the reader doesn't necessarily need a complete breakdown of every detailed stat in an item and is unlikely to bother reading them after the first one. It's often better to give a brief description yourself. Kanfy fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jul 15, 2018 |

Really Pants posted:Here's another attempt, now with 900px jpegs on LPix. I think it looks pretty good. The images are still rather heavy, though - you could definitely stand to compress them a little more. This is saved at 90 quality in irfanview, and it's ~1/3 the size of the original image without looking noticeably worse.

Anyone have any input on how to stylize subtitles for different situations? I have at least four different types of things going on in this one video. -News broadcast over unrelated footage. -Present time dialogue. -Internal dialogue. -Flashback dialogue.

ChorpSaway posted:Personally, I'd go: I'd go with this, though I'd also suggest offsetting the newscaster and other such "off screen" dialog with a different colour from the regular text too. Like white for normal dialog, and yellow for stuff that's being heard over a TV or radio or if the speaker is otherwise not actually physically present in the scene.

I believe I got all the tindeck audio backed up from archived LPs this weekend. They're available on lpix with a substitution of https://tindeck.com/listen/<id here> → https://lpix.org/tindeck/<id here>. So for example https://lpix.org/tindeck/gpqj. About 100 files have been deleted from tindeck, not much I can do about that, but there's ~9500 that seem to have fetched fine. I'm going to double check I've got everything now and then replace the links in archived LPs sometime soon. If anyone wants me to backup any tindeck links in LPs that are still live then please email admin@lparchive.org with the subject "Tindeck backup" and with a list of tindeck URLs you want me to fetch & store in the text of the email. I'll run the script on any I get and they'll be available the same way as above. Note though I'm not going to mirror/regenerate the image link things. Archived LPs already have them fetched, but live LPs are on their own. I'll sort out some kind of substitute for future archiving of LPs with any tindeck links that didn't get fetched.

What's a good tindeck replacement? ... Now I feel bad about being annoyed with everyone who used lovely tindeck replacements in their LPs. Might take longer to load, but at least their links won't be gone by the end of the month.
