NWN Vault Restoration

not working for me not even when I add that ip into browser manually

You added that line directly into your host file?

I don't know what to tell you, Shadooow. Adding that exact line to my hostsfile allowed me access into NWVault.

 

Regardless, I've updated Neverwinter Vault and included Tony K's AI system and migrated it over for you.

 

FP!

Well, it's not shut down, the DNS has been changed. You can still get to it by modifying your hostsfile and accessing the site directly via their server IP.

 

69.10.25.55     nwvault.ign.com

 

And snag what's really important to you before it's gone for good.

 

FP!

 

I did this and it worked fine, franticly backing up all my work and favorite tilesets now...

 

Thanks Fester, our savior!

(it's not just another false alarm, even if they keep site up for a bit, we better start backing up what matters now, as far as wake-up calls go...)

 

 

(Never thought i'd be so happy to see that fugly old site again...)

Direct links work for me and I downloaded CEPs, though the main site is still off limits. (Edited hosts)

yes i did, though after restarting a browser i can get to exact direct links and the link for the download of the cep and tonyK above works for me too

Aha! Worked for me too after browser restart. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully that gives us 24 hours or so at least. This is the second time in what? 6 months? That the site has had serious issues. Even if this is another temporary problem, I'm done with dealing with it. The new vault is faster anyway.

This is apparently not working still for at least some Western Europeans...

 

(at least as far as one of the new vault admin reports.)

 

So defiantly still backup time...

Heh. Asleep? :-P

Busier than a cat on a mouse farm :-P

 

Don't worry too much about multiple copies for uploads, we can always sort them out. 

But I would ask that people coordinate just a *holds two fingers up, close together* little ;-)

I've created two new forums on the Vault, for NwN1 & NwN2.

If you are looking for a file or project, or merely wish to upload one, post it there so we cut back on duplication.

 

The back up we have is a web scrape of the old Vault that was current up to last July (when ign took steps to block our scraper). It included files, images, comments and the html of the project page (which included the vote *summary*).

These are stored in individual folders under the old vault categories. 

 

We do not yet have an automated way of uploading these projects, though we have *most* of the Vault Storage System written, thanks to Pain of Dungeon Eternal. It's that last bit that I'm not good enough to finish ;-(

 

To sum up, we *do* have most of the projects saved. We *can* find those projects when they are requested, though it may take a bit to search and upload. And please do help us restore projects to the Vault.

 

We have some great folks helping out on the admin side and we are building this site for *us*. Our *personal* Vault. Yours, mine and ours ;-)

You can actually tell if a file is already hosted, by checking its pre-existing downloads (as i noticed in the case of uploading CEP24a '>)

 

New vault is updating fast, so just in case you missed anything, you can see all the recent content here: http://neverwintervault.net/tracker

So, if we have our own copies of content, should we upload them (first checking for duplication), or should we request your team to load your archive copy?


Problem with the first option is that we have the files, but not the description or screenshots.


Sorry if I'm being thick.

If the project is not up at all and you think it should be, upload what you have and post on the NwN1 Wanted Files forum that you've uploaded a partial migration.

 

My personal opinion is that if someone wants it enough to upload what they have, I'll go looking for the rest of it (when I have time) and finish the migration. This is the best crowd-sourcing method I can think of to prioritize the migration.

 

Coordination is the key there, though... so *do* post in the Wanted Files forum :-)

 

Personally, again, I work out of Starbucks on a puny little wireless hookup. Uploading the 500gigs on miniVault is pretty much not something I want to spend the next 6 weeks doing :-P

But give me a base to work from and I (and other admins raring to go) will flesh out what you guys start.

 

None of this is perfect, and we're doing the Marine thing (Adapt, improvise, overcome!) as we go, but we can do this :-)

I'm already seeing duplicates. Kamiryn's Customer Character Override Hak was just uploaded a few hours ago, but it was also just uploaded six weeks ago.

<seeing...>

 

As Kamiryn is active, I've changed the owner of the previous upload to Kamiryn, so he can decide what to keep/let go :-)

 

Thanks (Dunahan did get the 5 Vk migration bounty, though :-)
