SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

bump...

Well I deleted ALL of the files called MOVE and then downloaded it and it still doesn't work.

I use Firefox and I tested on IE at my house. I use IE and Firefox at school and it works on both. I did that CTRL + F5 thing and it didn't work.

I have the same problems myself with audio/sounds and was advised that since the last steam update, here we are with yet another **** up.
To get game sounds back like 'move' etc etc... I was told to simply type the cl_restrict_server_commands 0 in console.
Voila my sounds returned. I have to type it in now everytime I visit a server however, or the sounds dont work. I tried putting the command in my config file but that doesnt work either.

Good luck

I took a look into the page HTML and found this:

<a href='http://z6.invisionfree.com/Knifeteers/index.php?' title='Board Home'><a href='http://adserv.phxx.com/adclick.php?n=aa25ac36' target='_blank'><img src='http://adserv.phxx.com/adview.php?what=zone:33&n=aa25ac36' border='0' alt='SpawnPoint.com: More Files, More Content, More Community'></a></a> Things to notice about that:
1) There are twp <a> tags. Now, I've never actually tested what happens when you use two <a> tags, but it's worth a shot removing one (just temporarily) to make sure it's not affecting the way the image is displayed.

2) The SRC of the image doesn't go directly to the image itself. It goes through a PHP script:
http://adserv.phxx.com/adview.php?what=zone:33&n=aa25ac36

Try navigating to that URL. I redirected to a SpawnPoint banner when I do so, so should you. If you do not, then it's likely something to do with the script, and not the image itself.



Hope that helps, I'm getting short of ideas ;)

Basically, when you try to load the image in your browser, it isn't loading the image directly. It's loading a script which then sends you to the image.

The problem seems to be that either the image isn't loading after you have been sent, or that the script simply isn't sending you to the image.



Try to load http://www.spawnpoint.com/images/banners/banner_728-90-2007.jpg - That is the image that the script sends you to. If you can see that image, then it's a problem with the script. If you can't, then its probably a problem with your browser loading the image.


Just trying to determine the root of the problem, if you know what I mean :p

Have you tried navigating to http://www.spawnpoint.com/images/banners/banner_728-90-2007.jpg ? That is, as I said, the image that should be displayed on the site. If you can view the image on that URL, then the script is at fault. If you cannot view the image, then (of course) its a problem with the image itself. Which is it? :P

Also, you can't make the site navigate you directly to the image unless you have access to the admin panel on the forums. Even then, I'm not entirely sure what you'd have to do precisly (I have never admin'd for Invision boards, I prefer PhpBB or vBulletin).

Alrighty :p Try updating the banner code in your admin panel to:

http://www.spawnpoint.com/images/banners/banner_728-90-2007.jpg

This should make the image load directly, as opposed to through the script.

Hm. Are you, by any chance, blocking images from http://www.spawnpoint.com/banners?

Check your browser settings.

If it's not that, then I'm really not sure...

I can tell you how to do it for the latest version of Firefox, but I don't use any other browsers so I'm not sure for those.

To check this in Firefox, go to Tools » Options » Content. Then, look for the checkbox which says "Load images automatically". To the right of that should be a button called "Exceptions". Click that, and make sure that http://www.spawnpoint.com/banners, and http://adserv.phxx.com/ are not in the list.

If they are, remove them. If they aren't, then it must be something else...
