The server is fairly slow. Just wait a bit.

Wait hold on a minute

Oct 19 '25 23:10 Steve0Greatness

That doesn't look good. Might be unrelated, though...?

Oct 19 '25 23:10 Steve0Greatness

the servers seem to be doing just fine why isnt it loading and it stuck on downloading project data

is localhost failing? idk myself

Oct 19 '25 23:10 eeeeee132ws

oh crap i think it could be the servers or something

Oct 19 '25 23:10 eeeeee132ws

I'm pretty sure it's nothing with the server. That's not an error saying it didn't get a response (or it got a 5XX response), that's a parsing error.

The error appears to be pointing to these lines of code:

https://github.com/PenguinMod/penguinmod.github.io/blob/a78e042ad9eace1d438ed1c882b304ebab37dd60/src/lib/project-fetcher-hoc.jsx#L164-L174

It appears that somehow the response that the client wasn't able to receive the assets portion of the JSON.

Oh, that's weird.

@Ianyourgod Erm

Oct 19 '25 23:10 Steve0Greatness

huge line of code here is failing

cant tell if thats causing it

Oct 19 '25 23:10 eeeeee132ws

huge line of code ...

That's just because it's minified. Generally when serving JavaScript to a client it's minified so that it's not too big when it gets to their machine.

The actual source code for the GUI is: https://github.com/PenguinMod/penguinmod.github.io

Oct 19 '25 23:10 Steve0Greatness

that's weird. i'll see if there's any obvious reason. for assets being false rq.

Oct 19 '25 23:10 Ianyourgod

stop opening and closing this man

Please just keep this loading issue in this issue, rather than recreating a new one each time.

Oct 22 '25 23:10 Steve0Greatness

I have the same issue. Some projects work but others don't, most projects however don't work, here is the info.

weird that its different per project, though this currently can not be fixed at all

Oct 25 '25 22:10 RedMan13

No, it looks like the same issue each time. It keeps saying that n.assets is not iterable. The reason why is that n.assets keeps returning false. Ian said it's an issue with a hosting provided used for project assets.

so then yes it is unfixable because we can't control the aspect thats being the problem

Oct 25 '25 23:10 RedMan13

the way we "fix" it is by pumping more money into the storage provider, which isn't a great solution.

Oct 26 '25 00:10 Ianyourgod

im working on an actual fix which will require migrating how we store assets. its not a huge change, but it'll require some work. I'll put any updates here.

Oct 27 '25 03:10 Ianyourgod

ok

Oct 29 '25 04:10 eeeeee132ws

Is this the reason why penguinmod now has a yellow message that says project assets cannot load?

Oct 31 '25 13:10 codingthemultiverse

Yes, we're kinda broke and we can't really keep up with the server costs for assets, leading to usage limits Donations help a ton

Oct 31 '25 13:10 FreshPenguin112

yeah but i dont have monei i hav 0

Nov 01 '25 04:11 eeeeee132ws
