hi, i ran into some problems trying to host my videotome game on neocities, but with help from shock we were able to find a work around. posting this here just in case anyone else runs into a similar problem!
neocities' free plan does not let you upload sound files, and this causes any videotome game to crash upon trying to launch without the said sound files. however! you can upload the sound files onto dropbox, make said sound files to have a shareable url, run said url through this, and then put that new url into the game's code.
so rather than having something with
const MUSIC = {
SFX_TITLE:"music/SFX_TITLE.mp3",
SFX_TEXT:"music/SFX_TEXT.mp3"
};you will have something like
const MUSIC = {
SFX_TITLE:"https://dropboxlink.com/testlink/SFX_TITLE.mp3",
SFX_TEXT:"https://dropboxlink.com/testlink/SFX_TEXT.mp3"
};(fake links just to show what i mean)
... and with that you can finally have a free neocities website running a videotome. here's mine
thank you for making the engine! :)
