clippy.min.js no longer works

[krasnit]

There is a link in clippy.min.js to an external agents folder that is no longer active. This makes this js unable to display any agent. The latest link in this js is set to "clippy.BASE_PATH="//s3.amazonaws.com/clippy.js/Agents/", which is dead. To resolve the issue, download the agents folder from Github and edit this clippy.BASE_Path reference to point to the location of that downloaded folder on the local machine, or host it on a reliable external server and point it to there.

also, gitcdn.xyz is also down. I'm not sure if it's just temporary, but I think it would be better to bundle the assets inside the package published to npm, and then use unpkg.com like https://unpkg.com/browse/clippyjs@0.0.3/ - (also, the intellij config files should be excluded 😛)

I got this working by setting window.CLIPPY_CDN to https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pi0/clippyjs/assets/agents/ which links it directly to this github repo's current branch. jsdelivr.net seems to have a better service record than gitcdn.xyz

I fixed it by changing the AWS links to point to the files within this repo.

clippy.js
clippy.BASE_PATH = 'clippy/agents/';

load.js
clippy.BASE_PATH = 'clippy/agents/';

clippy.min.js
clippy.BASE_PATH = "clippy/agents/",

I can now load the agents fine.

I created a fresh version of Clippy with a modern stack here.
It uses typescript, rollupjs 2.x, no JQUERY, and lazy loading modules (no cdn).
Hope it helps!

The breakage comes from the legacy clippy.min.js pointing to the now-dead S3 agent host (clippy.BASE_PATH="//s3.amazonaws.com/clippy.js/Agents/").

Suggested fix: ship a self-contained legacy global build (IIFE) at dist/clippy.min.js that embeds all agents/maps/sounds (so BASE_PATH is no longer needed; kept only for compatibility).

Usage would be:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/clippyjs/dist/clippy.min.js"></script> <script> clippy.load("Clippy", (agent) => { agent.show(); agent.speak("Hello!"); }); </script>

This avoids any external agents folder / dead CDN links entirely.
