Maybe I need an administrator to upload pictures from the website background?

@DodoNotDoDo I need help from administrator ! I can only upload the blurred false image now.

The images do get checked for inappropriate content so it’s possible it’s mistaking these for inappropriate. Do you know an approximate date and time of your last failed attempt? I can check logs to see if that’s what’s happening.

Last failed attempt at approximately 21:20~21:25 on February 16, 2020 (UTC+8, Beijing)

They can’t upload the preview images.

The picture is as follows, if you can, please modify it for me directly, thanks!

It looks like it was taking longer than normal to publish in our back end system so timed out. I’ve adjusted it to wait longer, so please try again.

@WanMonstar Turns out this was due to a data center outage causing delays. In theory this should be fixed now, but let me know if you continue to experience problems.

Can we have an option to upload preview images via webpages?

That option already exists. Assuming you’re talking about for mods.

How do I change this thumnail preview icon: https://cdn.ageofempires.com/aoe/mods/thumb_1574957363__preview-icon.jpg
from
https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/1732/
?

If you edit it on the web site, move the image you want to be the thumbnail to the top spot in the list of images and update. You don’t have to re-upload the mod itself, just update the images. It should then update the thumbnail to that first image. If that doesn’t work, let me know.

that didn’t work :confused:

Looks to be working now. Somehow it ended up with multiple thumbnail images so was just showing the first version it found. I cleaned it up so it should display correctly now. Note that these do get cached so if it doesn’t update for you right away, it should in a few minutes.

Mod failed to publish.

Timed out because of the Internet in China? Data is blocked by the Great Firewall of China?
Maybe we need a server in Hongkong or mainland China, Chinese players can only play multiplayer games through Internet accelerators.

I was able to fix 1660, but the other three are getting flagged for inappropriate content. I assume it’s mistaking the images as showing too much flesh or something. I’m checking to see if there’s a way to correct this. Otherwise you may have to modify the screenshots somehow. Given it accepted the one in 1660, maybe darkening the skin tones would do it. But hopefully they’ll give me a better fix.

Okay, I see, thank you very much.

@DodoNotDoDo
I have the same problem with my mod here: https://www.ageofempires.com/mods/details/4013/
On the direct mod website (the link i posted), the right image is displayed. But in the ingame mod manager and in my list “My Mods” on this website here, there is still the old image displayed.

Can you help me out?

Should be fixed now.

Yes, thank you very much!
