Anyways, thank you David. I'm not really ahh, familiar with what you're saying...and someone else also wanted to know...how does this work? Essentially just taking things from our computer and uploading them without going through one of these other sites, or?

I'll make a script to run through all the off-site images and download them. If I can.

To answer your question, yeah you'll just upload them. You can see the same code in action on Rise, where you upload your grid icon.

See, I thought that would be hell to code into this game if there wasn't already a slot for it, but this is awesome.
...I didn't think to consider how long it takes for the server to search all those external images. I have learned a thing!

THIS. In spades! <3 <3 I also have learned a thing! <3 <3

I've got the code for this image grab working, and it works with on-site stored images now. I haven't downloaded all the images just yet, but I will shortly, after which I'll create the option to upload your grid tiles directly to the game instead of inputting a URL. At that point I can make it so that the database image file name is super short, which should in theory speed up movement by up to around 5-10%. Not much, but a start, and hosting the images on here is more reliable.

I better do the thing with photo bucket then. #procrastination
