Viewer update and Viewer Silk Notes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hey guys!

The updated viewer that renders more (hopefully always) accurate results will be up soon.  There was a slight problem with the graphics that shouldn't take long for the developer to fix.  I'll post an update when it's up.

Also - If your silks look wrong in the new viewer (particularly if they look swirled) :

Odds are, they were not created using the proper template.  There are 3 uploads on your account page :  My Icon, My Silks, and Viewer Silks.  My Icon and My Silks are simply pictures that show up on your user page - they are simply "for show" and no formatting necessary.  Viewer Silks are the ones used by the viewer and must be formatted properly (the format includes the jockey's silk, face, pants, hat, gloves, etc).    I investigated several players having problems and the ones I looked at all had a non-formatted image (and a lot had the same file uploaded for My Silks and Viewer Silks - these files are not intended to be the same).

To rectify :

* Delete the file under Viewer Silks

* An image will appear with the proper formatting - your file needs to conform to this style.

* After creating a conforming image, upload it to Viewer Silks

I hope this helps clear up the problem.

Thanks!

--Mike
