View Full Version : Image Not Displaying: Red X Box with Question Mark

Recently I manually uploaded several .jpg files into FGU (...after I accidentally wiped 40 hrs of mega dungeon programming FML). They were inserted into the proper image folder and were displaying perfectly then I exited FGU and shut it down. However, later in the week they stopped displaying and only showed a red x box with a question mark. I have a feeling this may be due to me overwriting them. When I shipped in new images midweek I mass copied and pasted all image files into the same folder including those previously uploaded. Have a feeling FGU didn't like that.

I tried re-uploading the same problematic images but with slightly different file names (ex. barrow goblin changed to barrow goblin_v2) in attempts to solve, as this has worked in the past a few times, and FGU still doesn't seem to be accepting them and displaying them. Also getting the image already exists message in chat window.

It may be an incredibly simple solution but I am at the point where I've stared at this for hours and solutions are just lost on me. :confused: Any help is appreciated good people.

A red X means that FG can't find the image file. It has to be in the exact same location with the exact same file name. Renaming it to something like -v2 will break that link. So will moving it to a different folder. Capitalization might matter as well.

Wit Fg closed, you should be able to open the db.xml in a text editor and find the name that FG is looing for, then you can replace that file as appropriate.
