Where to get Modules now?

[Legacy_Eternal Phoenix]

               

IGN = Epic fail.

 

But we knew this was going to happen sooner or later hence the establishment of the new NWN vault.

 

Glad people found a work around though. Get uploading everything you can to the new NWN Vault. Moddb's NWN section is also a good place to upload to as well.

So the workaround works for me, as I use Windows XP '>

 

The basement rats put their filty paws on our nwvault in an attempt to promote that *puke* mmo.

 

It seems it was no mistake, as the witchervault which runs on the same website code still is accessable.

 

If it was all vault websites being redirected, then I'd be inclined to believe that someone has made a booboo

OR that IGN is canceling their good old vault network.

 

However, this is clearly intentional with the possible incoming excuse that it was an accident.

You can modify your hosts file and add this line to it:

 

69.10.25.55     nwvault.ign.com

 

That allows me to still connect with a web browser.

 

FP!

  Apparently, IGN doesn't like their server being accessed.  I just got this from my IP, and I have to assume based on the timestamp of it, it was related to IGN.

 

We are writing to inform you that TELUS has received reports alleging that your TELUS Internet Services account has been used to scan, flood or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another computer, (please see the details of the incident(s) at the end of this e-mail). If you are unaware of this type of activity coming from your account, your computer may be infected with a virus or your computer may have some other security problem which could account for this activity originating on your system. You may wish to inquire with others who may have access to your account and/or change the password to your account to ensure that only authorized users have access to it.

  I'm waiting on specific confirmation as to if that's who it was from, but it's best to assume that any connection to their server is being classified as a "DDoS" attack and reported to your IPs as such.

 

Edit: After forwarding Telus the IGN details, I got a return reply stating the complaint was a result of an "error in their records".  Take that how you will.

So are they going to fix it, kill it, ignore it?

 

Figures.  My kid had just gotten into PrC, for all the extra classes, and I had just figured out how the whole PrC3.5 - CEP2.4 system works, had found two mods to set up, two, wanted to put up many many more, and then *poof* gone like disco.

 

I looked through the whole router thing by FP, but that stuff is Greek to me.  I'm just a user.  I was a lawyer, not a software engineer.  Besides it looked a little legal.  Then again, I bought a better modem just for Napster, back in the day.  *evil grin*

 

When NWConnections died, it was a slow painful death, like cancer, and I know what that is like.  This was more getting hit by a truck.  The paramedics claim they can see a heartbeat, but anyone can see on the road that there's a lot of blood....

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_MagicalMaster]

               

Has anyone messaged the IGN admins about the problem (or know who to contact)? They were able to fix it quickly before once they became aware of it.

 

I messaged the IGN admins about 20 minutes after this thread was created, no response yet.  I also edited out some of the rather inappropriate comments some people left, let's not look like rude children that no one will sympathize with.

Works for me too, as I use Windows Vista.

 

(not that I think they're causally related, but just in case people wondered)

Um... What the heck is everyone talking about? Either IGN fixed something or I don't know what's going on. I haven't modified my hosts file recently, but I saw this thread, went to the old vault (nwvault.ign.com) and it was there. I did a search for a module and it worked fine. Ditto for a custom object. The list of Hall of Fame modules, etc. is there and so on. As far as I can tell, the old Vault is in the same condition it was the last time I checked it, a week or two ago.

 

Anyway, I am not saying there wasn't a problem over the past day or so. So many people experienced it that no doubt something happened. But, possibly IGN has dealt with the issue? I am just saying that the Vault is apparently working as it has been and people might want try going there normally before trying to add entries into their hosts file and so on.

Maybe the DNS change hasn't propagated to you, yet, Zork. But the vault is down. Looks like a 301 redirect is mapping the traffic (and all the vaults old incoming links) to the Neverwinter Online wiki page. 


Or perhaps you have already modified your host file. It's the same fix we used last time the vault went down.

So, are all the files from the old vault backed up, or will tons of stuff be lost forever?

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Skildron]

               

As of now (10:42 CEST) the old nwvault.ign.com works again.

 

Edit: (10:49 CEST): No, it does not. I don't know why the first call of nwvault.ign.com worked, afterwards it sent me to the Neverwinter wiki page as everyone else has reported. Modifying /etc/hosts works for me, too.

Rolo Kipp tells us that the old files are backed up, but most are not yet transferred to the new Vault at neverwintervault.org.

Urgent requests can be made in the NWN1 files wanted thread.

Even better, you can PM Rolo to volunteer your help with this. Alternatively, if you have your own priorities, do some transfers manually by copying stuff from the old vault, logging what you've done in that thread, so it can be tidied up.

It's a huge amount of work, but if more community members joined in, we could easily shift the more popular stuff.

Whether nwvault is back or not, I'd say the time has come to put our shoulders to the wheel.

Sounds like it's permanent this time. The URL does redirect to the Wiki for NWN that IGN has set up after-all. I guess all we can do is retrieve everything we can and post it on the new vault.

It's still working for me. I was able to download files and post on the forum. Festor Pots fix is valid. I had to go to eHow just to learn how to edit my host file. You all can cut and run, but me, if they want me to leave the vault, they're going to have to throw me out !

You can tell IGN that I have been thrown out of better places than this.

The main issue is that for about 2 weeks we (me and sensei Rolo) were unable to access admin panel so no new submissions can be approved or even viewed '>

I like your talk but it will only be valid for so long. Besides, even if the work-around lasts, NWN Vault is currently gone and there needs to be a new place where mods and content can be uploaded as the old vault can no longer be used for uploading content.
