Incorrect Welcome screen

Post by VDZ »

I made a new welcome screen for my new world, but whatever I do, it always either shows the old one, or nothing at all.
Renaming doesn't fix it, deleting doesn't fix it, even directly copying from my server folder to my clients folder didn't fix it.
What am I doing wrong?

when you change the welcome.jpg you need to do the command *updatewelcome.
(The server then compiles a slightly modified version of the image file, containing extra info such as when it was last downloaded, so that clients can cache the image and save having to download it each time).

I can't seem to alter the welcome screen my world displays (at least from what I see). I have deleted every instance of the old welcome screen that I can find and replaced it with the new one but it doesn't help.

The welcome screen file download even seems to correlate with the size of new welcome screen rather than the old one. (And yes, I did restart the world server, visit another world, and whatever misc. other stuff I could think of).

If I can't figure it out, I'm okay with just not having a welcome screen for my world, but I was hoping to use it to instruct new players to access the Shift+F5 guide which they need to start off. I also have already spent some time fiddling around with a image edittor and I'd like to show off my work.

Edit:
Nvm. As always I managed to eventually figure it out on my own. I needed to delete some sort of misc. file related to the welcome image that was in the clients/data/images folder.
