Is there a way to have a userscript load .css, .jpg, .png, etc files from the local computer rather than having them to be hosted on a server somewhere?

Like instead of Loading from www.blahblahblah.com/smile.png have it load it from C:\Users\Blah\Userscriptstuff\smile.png?

And how this resource would come to the disk if not downloaded by an external server?
Anyway, I don't think it's possible as it tries to load the image from the server in any case.

Edit :
It'd maybe be possible using
// @require file://C:\Users\Folder\Desktop\...

These files are already cached depending on the browser. There's no point in doing it yourself, as the user could always just re-download the images.

Unless you're just doing it for testing, in which case you should just use imgur or something.

Maybe this could help: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5230469 But I don't know if I get what you mean.

The server where the files where hosted doesn't exist anymore. I cant see having to pay for hosting and domain if I can just host the required files locally.

Its for using blackreign (HF Old School) on my end.
These modern themes hurt my eyes after about 10 minutes.

That should be easy enough then.

Just make the script replace the website file directory with the directory where you placed the files on your computer.

For instance, if you place all the images in C:\files\mywebsite\images and the site loads its images from mywebsite.com/images, make a script that replaces all instances of mywebsite.com/images with C:\files\mywebsite\images.

You're allowed to specify direct file paths for css/js/images/etc (as long as they're on your actual computer).

Base64 encode the assets you need and you won't have to worry. This of course does make things a little slower, mind you, since base64 encoded assets cannot be cached.

I ended up creating a free account with SPAM.
I recreated the theme and I am hosting it on my end.

SPAM isn't the best but I cant afford hosting or domain right now.

How much files are you currently hosting at that SPAM website?

Try https://pages.github.com/ to create yourself a decent website host, its most likely faster then SPAM and its more reliable in my opinion.
I could host the files on my website but I won't be able to give you an account to access your files unfortunately.

I just used SPAM because I already had an account created there.
Ill check into github pages.

Do they offer domains as well?

You will get a http://username.github.io which isn't that bad actually.

Ill look into it tomorrow. If I decide to go with github It will not take me long to change the URLs in my userscript.

I cant figure it out.
I think ill stay where I am at till I get some money to get better hosting and domain.

Ended up coming back to Github and I am making my way around now.
