Map Downloads Down

[Ralle]

Hello visitors and members of wc3sear.ch

I have gotten the mission to revive wc3s though it has never been dead.

All map downloads will be down for some time. I hope that all downloads will work within an hour but I cannot promise anything.

Our champion, at last!

Good luck with the reviving.. or whatever you like to call it

 

[Twar3Draconis]

w00t! The savior has come!

I would assume that you gave FTP access?

 

[Xarwin]

Hurray, good news arrived!

 

[Herio-san]

Downloads only? or uploads also?

 

[Ralle]

I removed ALL maps from wc3s and put them at hiveworkshop.com
but I am having new problems now..

I deleted all maps but it still say we are over the quota which is wrong. I need to contact the host of the website to get the quota reset.

This means maps are not open yet. and that it will take more than 1 hour. However if you want to download something and it doesnt exist.

Try replacing the link to http://wc3search.hiveworkshop.com and then ofcourse the rest will be /maps/someid/mapname

Good to know. Thanks for your efforts in keeping this site alive, Ralle. Your avatar makes me laugh.

I dont know much on site managements, but sounds like you've worked hard Ralle, thanks

 

[Ralle]

well. Now the downloads are up again. But it still says we are over the quota which is wrong. I hope my support ticket gets answered soon.

So Ralle, when do you think the actual merge of the 2 sites will happen, IF they will happen?

 

[aarkshark]

Hmmmm. 04, eh? I dont think I ever saw you post.
But, thank the... errr... green.... thing.. that we're getting close to a solution to this mess.

This link to Bago quest campaign is still broken

By the way Thx for the support . Keep up the good work

I believe a lot of the older maps are missing. Mainly due to the original map archive being lost due to bad hosting and no one having a backup.

 

[Herio-san]

Would it not be easier for everyone to download a copy of their map and then re-upload it after the quota is restored?

By the way, just an idea to keep this from happening again. There should be a cap on how many resources one user can submit. Some people just mass submit crap icons/skins/models (no offense intended to anyone) and take up megabytes of space needed to keep wc3sear.ch running.
Then maybe if a user is known for high quality work they can have more submissions avaliable.

Cant you set max number of pages to 100 pages of maps/skins/icons etc? For example, maps have ~200 pages. Eldest resources will be deleted, so there will be no problem with webspace (i think).

 

[Herio-san]

The only problem with that is that the "good" resources will be overwhelmed with the "not-so-good" ones and quantity not quality will rule. Which is a very bad thing.

 

[Mecheon]

Eldest resources will be deleted

No they won't. They'll only be deleted if they suck and therefore via rules should be deleted. Otherwise, they'll stay on the site forever

 

[Gauntlet2021]

That limited uploads per user idea has been shot around alot latelly, personally im against it but it does seem popular.

 

[Alvatar]

It is popular by people who just download, but making nothing, havent better idea in that moment or imagines that sacrifice will save the world

(yes, Im against it too)

 

[raft_pl]

Alvatar, you mean me? Im sorry, but i make maps and i have uploaded some here...

@Mecheon
I meant, that moderators can delete eldest maps... but now i see what`s the problem

 

[Kitabatake]

It's great to hear that the site will work again.
Good job Ralle!

 

[Masterful_Tauren]

It is nice to hear that Ralle is saving the site from what was a total shut down.Keep up the good work!
