Doesn't load icons for server mod units

[Quitch]

All icon spots are blank.

[Quitch]

Deployed latest version, but icons are still missing.

[speth]

• Is there anything in the log?
• Are you sure you're running the latest version?
• Are you getting the blank placeholder icon (as before), or a broken image indicator?
• Which approach are you using for the padb.json (i.e. using the mod directory as pa_root, or by applying the mod on top of the base files)?

[Quitch]

1. Double-click webunits.py
2. Go to localhost:8080 in Chrome
3. Load mod
4. Click vehicles title

Definitely running latest version. Deleted old folder, downloaded latest ZIP from code page and extracted.

Images are as before, white squares.

Can you try checking out the quitch-debug branch, running webunits.py, visiting http://localhost:8080/unit/L_mortar_tank?version=current:com.pa.legion-expansion.server and posting the output of the lines that start with DEBUG? I'm hoping this will shed some light on the issue (because this works just fine on my system).

[Quitch]

Ah, I think I see why it might work for you and not me. The Legion mod is split into a client and server mod using the split_into_mods.py script found in the root folder (which I assume you don't run). The icons padb is looking for are not in the server mod but rather in the client mod.

[speth]

Indeed, that would do it. I'm not sure how PADB would know to look in some other directory. It doesn't appear that this information is contained in modinfo.json (or anywhere else?)

[Quitch]

modinfo.json should link to the client mod via a dependency.

Again, the modinfo.json in the root folder should be ignored, it's the ones in the modinfo subfolder that are real.

[speth]

So then this would require PADB to:

• know where client mods are installed
• automatically enable dependent mods when a given mod is enabled
• preferably, not list all the irrelevant client mods in the mods list

I think a simpler alternative, at least for the time being, would be to just keep copies of the icons in the server mod as well (by modifying split_into_mods.py).

[Quitch]

Unfortunately that would be another 3MB of information for upload to the server and download by the clients, so it seems unlikely that will be done, but at least I have a workaround if needed.
