HTML Twine (Sugarcube) Video & Image Local Storage

[dalin55738]

I created a game that heavily features embedded videos and images. I'm currently sourcing those from RedGifs' CDN instead of storing them locally.

Obviously, I would rather store them locally for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is because the CDN gets ridiculously slow in the evenings (US time).

I can easily create relative links once the HTML file is Published. But when I'm running the game by clicking the "Play" button (which I need to do regularly to test), it stores the HTML file in a newly created folder with a seemingly random series of strings.

The only other advice I've found is converting my files to Base64 and placing those strings in the code, but that seems insane.

So, my question is, what's the best way to store images and videos in Twine (using SugarCube) so that I can still Test/Play during development?

This is completely HiEv 's field of expertice but on

You must be registered to see the links

you can find a code that will allow you to load images that show when you hit up the play button.

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

The only change, since I'm on a Mac (also for Linux systems) would be to change "/temp/" to "/private/" (and the path format is different).

So if HiEv sees this, I'd recommend that addition.

Ah, thanks. I knew it would be different on other OSes, but I wasn't sure what they would use. I've updated that code.

Anyways, glad I could help.
