Publishing a theme - how/bug?

Hello,

I followed the instructions to clone a theme, and it works perfectly! For me, that is. Because I've noticed that when I'm in game, the github theme.css is used. To make the theme available to others, I published it. Got to the page with the text:

Quote:

Publish Custom Theme
By default, custom themes can only be used by the first person who uploads them (the theme author). You can use this page to make your custom theme available for use by other players. When you click the button below we will check that your theme is safe for others to use, and if it passes these checks we will make a copy of it available. Anyone in possession of your custom theme URL will be able to use it, and will receive the last published version. Any changes you make to your theme will be visible only to you until you publish it again.

I clicked the button, and got confirmation:

Quote:

Your theme has been published, and can now be used by any other player in possession of its Github URL.

However, this isn't the case. People using my theme get a 404, since the files cannot be found. More specifically, http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...b.io/theme.css
is not found. It looks like there is no local copy made of my theme on the Utopia-server.
How can I fix this, or is this something for the Uto-devs?

Oh, I guess that got obfuscated a bit... The link in my first post is 'shortened'.
Theme URL: http://green-ex.github.io/

Maybe you have some special position, Bishop :)

Anyway, when I trym for instance, spahreps custom theme, it fetches the theme.css from:
http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...b.io/theme.css
when I try that link for my theme, replacing spahrep with green-ex, I get a 404 (not found) which leads me to think dat there is no copy on the utopia server.
http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...b.io/theme.css

the theme works for me (as owner) but other can't fetch my theme files.

I get it that you don't get an error message when selecting the theme, but it shouldn't look like this:

That's how uto looks without any styling.

Bishop, I see what he's getting at.

Could be the same thing that was affecting my themes not updating maybe?

Hey, I don't know to be honest, not sure if the issue is with us or github.

OP, can you quickly make a new gibhub account and test with a new theme that is only modified a slight bit, just to see if its published right.

Bishop, I created a new fork of the default theme:

http://greenexresp.github.io/

I set this one as my Custom theme, published it.
It looks like this: (text is red)

However, I noticed there's still no copy on the uto server, like with for example spahreps.
I.E.:
http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...b.io/theme.css exists
http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...b.io/theme.css does not exist.

So I don't think it'll work. (Even though navigating in browser to the test page at http://greenexresp.github.io/ works, so things seem fine from Github point of view)

Alas...
Still no joy. I republished the theme; got no errors, but the theme still isn't available on uto-server.

( http://utopia-game.com/shared/static...ex.github.io/* also still not available. )
