I finally added the ability to upload image files directly to Tilemap Town, so you no longer need to upload to an unrelated image host like Imgur. This is a feature that I've been wanting to add for 7 years and directing people to use an image hosting site has always been a temporary workaround. You can still use them if you want, and the old stuff that uses URLs on those sites will still work, but this is more convenient.

You can organize the files you upload into folders much like you can with inventory items, give files names and descriptions like inventory items, and right click on an image and choose to set your appearance to it directly without having to paste in a URL. You can reupload an image which will give it a new URL (to make everything download the new file regardless of cache) and that will update your pic, saved pics, morphs, and image items

This does create a potentially confusing thing where you have files (which hold actual file data) and image items (which placed tiles can point to) which are separate things with maybe similar names. I'm not sure how to resolve that? I feel like it's important to have that layer of indirection.

I set it up so that all registered users get 128 KiB to play with, which is plenty when you're using it as intended. I can increase it per-user as needed. Play nice, and don't make me have to restrict or disable the feature. I will get notified about people uploading files and will review everything.

From here it could be cool to add a feature where you can draw graphics directly to use in the game (https://novasquirrel.com/town/draw.html has been around for a long time and was a start at making this) and maybe add a feature where you can upload some background music for a map.
