Testing with the latest version and everything is working as it should. Maybe you missed a step in the instructions? If there's any part of the instructions that's confusing, please let me know!
Hi, I believe you're trying to open the file in Windows directly. Try opening it with Notepad, that should allow you to edit it. If you have something like a code editor or Notepad++ that would be even better.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll add a clarification to the instructions
Wow okay thank you - that probably would have been obvious to most others (I have very little experience using js) but I really appreciate the clarification!
Hello, I am new to this stuff and am finding this quite difficult to follow. Is this the only way to get the zine so it can be read/viewed online properly? Not trying to be critical or anything like that, just honestly kinda lost here.
Hi, Electric Zine Maker allows you to export as a PDF, which is great for sharing person to person but not as easy to host online etc. I made this so you can just drop in your saved images from EZM and have a nice looking and feeling digital booklet anyone can read. It's not exclusive or anything. Anyone is free to make their own app or website or whatever to show off their zines however they please. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
i copied over my pages without changing the file name and the reader is still blank? i checked the script and the page names match the ones in the ezmreader file but im not sure why they're not showing up
-update- i downloaded the older script and the old one works, but for the new one all the pages seem to be blank
Hi, I tested it on the most recent version of EZM and everything still seems to be working as it should. Are you testing it on your local machine? Modern browsers don't let you load local resources such as images for security reasons. Have you tried uploading the project to an itch.io test page to see if it works there?

Hey! I tried it and all the pages are black, even if I play it on an itch.io test page! Not sure what I am doing wrong :/ Cheers!

I fixed it! Was a problem on my end with the PNG format. After that was fixed everything worked out! Thanks for the quick reply :)
Hey what do you mean with the PNG formating? As I am having this same issue but am struggling to fix it. Thanks!
You need to have each page separate, instead of the big pdf it gives at first! Then it should work.
Must be something else, gonna redo the code must've missed a step!
Thanks for the quick reply!
Hello! I love this concept, but when I downloaded and followed the instructions in the readme, this happened:
Is this my end, or yours?

Using the older script was also my only way of getting this to work also, if anyone else is having issues.
