I'm new to Worlds and I've been working on making my own avatar. I've been following the tutorial Sl0nderWorlds posted on YouTube for making 2D Renderware avatars since I figured a 2D billboard styled avatar would be the easiest kind to start with. I ran into a lot of problems but managed to find workarounds for the issues I ran into, up until now.

I've got my avatar in Renderware (.rwx) format and a texture for it in .cmp format, both of which I've uploaded to my Worlio files page in the same folder. When I paste the URL for my avatar into the worlds.ini file and start Worlds up, my avatar is completely invisible. I tried a few other avatars I found URLs for to make sure it wasn't an issue with formatting the URLs, but those ones worked flawlessly so there's something wrong with my avatar in particular.

The .cmp file displays properly in cmpview and the Renderware model displays properly in AccuTrans3D. I re-exported every file a few times to make sure nothing went wrong while exporting. I compared the formatting of my Renderware file to those from other avatars I tested as well, and the way mine is laid out doesn't seem drastically different as far as I can tell.

I'm stumped on what could be the problem at this point. My files are under my folder on User Files if anyone wants to take a look at them, maybe there's an issue with formatting or I missed a step at some point, my brain's a bit fried from the all-nighter I've been pulling to get this done so I wouldn't be surprised. If you see anything wrong with the files or have any suggestions on anything else I could try let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Clear your cache incase you haven't after every change. I tried the RWX you have in your folder and it worked fine.

Make sure it is under your user folder under files.worlio.com and is HTTP not HTTPS.

That did the trick! Thanks for replying. If anyone else runs into this problem, here's all you need to do. Head to the cachedir folder in the Worlds folder and delete the cache.index file there. Do this every time you make an edit to your avatar.
