Can you use custom CSS files with games uploaded to textadvenures.co.uk?

Question

I released an Inform 7 game along with the Quixe interpreter and set up a custom CSS file for it in the Interpreter folder. On my computer the stylesheet works, but when I zip the release folder and upload it to textadventures.co.uk, playing it online brings up the default stylesheet.

Answer 1

It should work, as long as everything's in the ZIP file you uploaded.

Make sure your CSS is using relative and not absolute paths - because uploaded games have URLs of the form media.textadventures.co.uk/gameid/..., so if you're linking to something like /mystyle.css then that won't work.

If you add a link to your game here I can look into it further.

Ok, I don't know what I did differently, but after uploading a more recent version of the game, it now seems to work correctly.

Could have been a caching issue. Files are served using a CDN and sometimes it can be a while before it checks for a newer version of the file.
