Issue when using Ruffle on www.dreamself.me #3834

Open CSBoatman opened 3 years ago

CSBoatman commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug -- When I open the website Ruffle shows a large play button over the character area in the middle. When I click on it, the character doesn't appear and none of the items or clothing that I try to apply to the character appear either. I've tried many different items, backgrounds, and clothing as well as using the randomize button but nothing appears in the character window.

-- Here is a link to the current website: http://www.dreamself.me/clothes.php?action=view&id=0 -- Here is a youtube video I found of someone using the website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eogIBVVE8g0&ab_channel=OldYouTube

-- The video is rather old but the only difference between the website in the video and the current one, as far as I'm aware, is the items/sets that are available to put on the character.

Expected behaviour -- As you can see from the video linked above, when you open the page a blank character appears in the middle window and it plays an idle animation. You have options to change the skin tone at the bottom of the middle window, there are items, backgrounds, and clothing pieces or clothing sets you can put on the character in the right window, and you can see what items are applied and on which layer on the character in the left window.

Is the problem with the Ruffle desktop app, extension, or self-hosted version? -- I'm using the extension as I don't know if there's any way to access DreamSelfy outside of its hosted website.

What platform are you using? -- I'm using the Nightly 2021-03-28 extension on Google Chrome Version 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This issue is independent of Ruffle, the same issue occurs when ran in Adobe Flash Player.

Any idea of what the issue might be? Or how I could be able to use the website again? I enjoyed it and often used it for creative ideas when drawing.

I don't know what the exact cause is, but the issue appears to be server-side. In fact, the entire site is broken. Both the user forums and the contact form are dysfunctional (http://www.dreamself.me/forum/ gives error Table './dreamsel_smf/smf_settings' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed), on top of the game not working. From what I can tell some type of file corruption broke the site.

The email listed on the about page is contact@dreamself.me. Contact the owners and inform them that their site is broken. If you don't get any response within a few days then they most likely abandoned the site and it won't get fixed.
