File download from vault not working?(with fixed hosts file)

[Legacy_PracticalKat]

               

I've fixed my hosts file to include "69.10.25.55 nwvault.ign.com" at the end (no quotation marks).  After a browser restart I can see the vault site, but can't download the file I want.  

 

Anyone else have this problem?

 

The file is Gu7's Less Extreme Difficulty Settings.  I get "Oops! Google Chrome could not find vnfiles.ign.com

 

Did you mean: ign.­com?"

 

I will happily move the post to another forum if this is the wrong one.

 

Thanks!

               The current situation is that while we can read the text on nwvault pages by using the hosts tweak, no one can obtain the screenshots or files. This may well be permanent.


Files are steadily being restored by community volunteers at the new vault. If you can't find your file by searching there, post a request in the forum "nwn1 files wanted".

According to a tweet from the IGN president, (a guy reputable ppl have said to actually be a take-charge-no-nonsense-kinda-guy):

 

NwVault was not intended to be pulled, and he was surprised to hear the news (just before 4th of july) and says IGN team is trying to fix it..

 

*supposedly* so this is not an underhanded EA/Atari attempt to "kill" NwN... *Casts Lesser Dispel Paranoia*

 

Totally-Not-Official-Insider-Eight-Hand-Rumors: The IGN vault data was intended to be archived to a wiki file server backup, but due to the unforeseen conflict between neverwinter (the new chineese perfect-world 4e mmorpg) and neverwinter-nights wikis, the vault got thrown into purgatory by the single ascii character "-"... (in an unforeseen error, all the pages IGN tried to migrate to the wiki lost the -nights part)

 

(so yes, apparently a single letter killed the IGN nwn vault, and all the data is still there, unaccessible atm, lol)

 

Were not waiting for IGN tho, as our good man Rolo has been uploading backups to cloud for volunteer migratory workers (rolo is focusing on tilesets, I'm working on scripts, and supposedly someone has already gotten all the portraits uploaded, so even worst-case-scenario, we should have everything uploaded in a few months tops... (and im told skywing is also on the case, seeing what can be automated, so cross your fingers)

               IGN posted the following message on the page nwvault redirects to without the hosts tweak:

Neverwinter Vault Maintenance


The Neverwinter Vault is currently undergoing maintenance and the site is temporarily redirecting to this page. Apologies for the inconvenience -- we know Neverwinter Vault is an awesome resource and we're working to restore nwvault.ign.com as quickly as possible.

Nevertheless, I think we should continue to build the new vault as a matter of urgency, because it gives the community control of the content (I stopped contributing to IGN fives years ago because of their high-handed attitude).
