Music and images do not play/show after I upload and save game

I'm a newbie... Just putting that out there. And I have to upload my Twine game (Twine 2/Sugarcube 2) here for class and to link on my website. I'm doing exactly what my instructor says:

First, please review Mike Pynn’s video (https://vimeo.com/207488736) for step-by-step instructions on how to upload your
game to itch.io. Then, If you are still stuck, follow these steps for uploading your Twine 2 file.
1. Ensure your scripting for in-game assets is working.
2. Publish your most up-to-date game and rename it index.html. It cannot be called
anything else.
3. Select both the index.html file and your assets folder(s) and compress/zip them.
4. Call the compressed zip file something simple with no special characters or spaces
5. Log in to your itch.io account and go to your Dashboard.
6. Create a New Project. 

However, I only see text. No music, no images. Would someone mind helping me get this done correctly so that I can finish this assignment and not have to result to text only?

Thanks,

Liza

I'm not sure how to help without looking at your project, and I can only look at it as any player would (you'd have to contact support for more). It sounds like you're correctly uploading the game proper, and setting it to be played in the browser, so:

  • the assets are in the same archive, right? just making sure, because making (ZIP) archives confuses some people;
  • if yes, double-check the file paths in your game. They should be relative to the game file. E.g. if you have a file called "cover.jpg" right next to "index.html", it should be referenced in game as "cover.jpg", with nothing else in front. If it's in a directory called "assets", then it should be "assets/cover.jpg", and so on.

Hope this helps.

Thank you... Everything works when I pull up the index.html from my desk top, but I will definitely try changing the the file path to this way and upload again and see what happens.
