Sometimes we don't have an image for an SWF asset. This can happen when
assets were converted to HTML5 without a PNG specified in the manifest.
(One example is bio/363, the Hind Biology for the Mutant Blumaroo.)
I'm noticing there's a second issue here on DTI's end, where it looks
like *we* have two copies of certain layers? I wonder if this was a bug
in like, the impress-2020 modeling code we tested at one point? Or if
this is in our main modeling code? e.g. the Mutant Blumaroo's bio/363
is in our database with DTI ID 192 and DTI ID 606955, and only the
former is registered as having an image (which we made ourselves and
host on S3).
So, I'm gonna start by just having the more graceful failure mode of
skipping the missing layer. But I'm also concerned about the root here,
I'll investigate!
Without this, 150x150 and 300x300 outfit thumbnails would fail to render new item layers where we didn't have an AWS image layer. Now, they correctly render the new stuff!
I tested this with the new "Spooky Stitches Markings" on the Grarrl, which has a blank image in AWS, but works correctly in the new code by loading the image from neopets.com!
We're gonna update impress-asset-images.openneo.net to perform redirects and stuff, so Classic DTI can start using the same images that DTI 2020 does.
That should enable us to stop relying on AWS for images, which is important because the new modeling script breaks that anyway :p but this will also let us turn off the image converters that run in the background all the time, and I'm excited for that too!
Well, instrumentation seems to be working fine again! The bug we ran into during commit e5081dab7e is gone. Cool!
I want to be able to see what's making the new box slow. My hypothesis was (and it seems to be right) that communication with the database on the Classic DTI server is slow.
But now that they're on the same Linode account and region, I think I can set up a private VLAN to make them muuuch faster. We'll try it out!
Previously we were using HTTP queries to keep individual function bundle sizes small, but that doesn't matter in a server where all the code is shared!
The immediate motivation is that I want /api/outfitImage requesting against the same server, not impress-2020.openneo.net. For other stuff I'm probably gonna fix this by replacing VERCEL_URL with something else, but here I figured this was a change worth making anyway.
I noticed this when Playwright was trying to draw cute ASCII art and it wasn't showing up right! Not a big deal, but it's a bit more correct to do this, so let's do it!
Things seemed to mostly work at first glance! I haven't tested outfitPageSSR because we'll need to redo it though, and also the outfit image routes aren't working anymore (vercel.json isn't how next.js works)
