Until the backup of the old IGN Vault entries to Net Vault website can be automated, it seems to me we should upload what we still have saved, for the community's sake in general, if nothing else...

 

 

To kick-start the effort (at least till all those lazy dwarves finally get off the pot!)

 

*Can only imagine the landslide of requests coming that poor old wizards way*

I appreciate the effort, but i would wait what Rolo Kipp has to say about the restoration process. Who knows, maybe everything is already uploaded and he is just waiting for a situation like this to switch the files from hidden to visible on the new vault. Also the new vault has a crazy fast connection. If the upload is somewhat automated, i wouldn't be surprised if everything is up and running in less than a week

Indeed, I certainly hope it can be automated too... (the files have been backed up, but vault entries still need to be made for them all actually)

 

 

When I spoke to Rolo pre-apocalypse, at that time he suggested i upload my content myself, as there were over 40,000+ vault entries to upload.

 

So even in the best-case-scenario it might still take a while to restore everything... (esp with restored comments for more important works)

[Gruftlord]

indeed, it might. or it might not. or it is already done. we do not know until he sees this and lets us know in which shape the vault backup currently is. does he have a large folder with all files inside? or did he manage to save it in a database with author names, description and images still attached to it (you know a setup that would allow an automatic upload)? is there a software that could automate the upload process? what is the bandwidth limitation of the new vault (does it make sense for multiple uploaders to join forces, or does Rolo have access to a Computer that is itself fast enough to fill the vault at max speed?)

 

with that knowlege, the restoration process can be planned and will probably faster and more focussed than the clustered approach you are suggesting atm

[Carcerian]

No, sadly, its not all uploaded and just waiting to be "turned on"...  *tho wishes impossibly too*

 

(If it was that easily uploaded, it would have already been done so at least a year ago or more...)

 

Obviously we are all curious to hear what the ol' wizard has to say once he wakes up and gets the "good" news...

 

(Tho I'm guessing he will probably still call for a community effort of some sort, or at least need long talks with forum host...)

 

And yes, if it can indeed be automated, then obviously my entries can be incorporated into the original posts or deleted as applicable.

 

 

Till then, can't hurt to post things ppl need that we can... (esp modding tools and tutorials to keep them all building with till then at least...)

[Shadooow]

can anyone upload on new vault:

 

CEP1 1.52 full, CEP1 1.68 (unfortunately i was downloading these yesterday but immediately deleted the archives - might be able to pack it backward but i would be better to have the original archives...

 

Tony K henchman AI

[Carcerian]

Sure, while i'm not sure about early CEP, at least I can do the current rar CEP 2.4a package next... (archive and upload pending)

[Pstemarie]

Everyone take a deep breath and think - what good will it do if everyone starts uploading content - unless it's their own vault submissions - they have copies of? Before you know it, we'll have umpteen copies of the CEP on the new Vault and no one will know which one to download. Better to let the people currently in charge of such project upload archival versions - for example, TAD should upload any older CEP content that is not already on the new Vault.

[Fester Pot]

Do the direct download links still work for you, Shadooow?

No aparently none of those links work now, since the IGN vault was just shut down last night... 

 

(Kind of the whole point of the current ongoing discussions, Sir FP   )

 

I just have a fast ISP (30 MPS cable modem) so im uploading stuff temporarily for everyone, till more official versions can be made available...

[Fester Pot]

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!

[Wallack]

That's great man!!

 

Will download half the vault this afternoon.

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

[Wallack]

You added that line directly into your host file?

[Fester Pot]

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.

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...)

[werelynx]

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

[Shadooow]

You added that line directly into your host file?

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

[Verilazic]

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.

[Carcerian]

Still backing up just to be safe

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 ;-)

[Carcerian]

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 )
