Can someone upload my PK3 to idgames for me?

[Ceeb]

I have a PK3 I just completed, which I wanna put up on idgames, except as far as FTP goes, I might as well be reading Greek.

It's a 7 MB file, zipped up and ready to go. Anyone feel like helping old Ceeby out?

edit:

Link works now.

[Shadelight]

Don't you have some kind of FTP Viewer? If you use Firefox, try out FireFTP.

[Ceeb]

Installing it now.

I see people have been downloading my mod anyway...

Edit:

Well I made an account, that is, anonymous, with the password the.master.of.ceremonies-at-gmail.com (that's my email, of course I entered it with an @ sign, just trying to dodge the spam) and it says...

Code: Select all

500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/var/ftp
500 OOPS: child died
Unable to make a connection. Please try again.

And I'm trying to get on archives.gamers.org

[Ceeb]

I can't find an incoming directory... And it keeps disconnecting... I don't think this is worth the goddamned hassle.

Edit:

Huh, incoming was under idgames2.

Edit 2:

Permission denied for no reason, fabulous! I think I'm just gonna stick with Mediafire, kthxbai, someone lock this please.

For something as simple as an upload to idgames you could really just do command line:

Code: Select all

If you wanna try a command line approach, try this:

Code: Select all

ftp archives.gamers.org
username:anonymous
password:(put email here)
cd /pub/idgames/incoming/
bin
put (ZIP file)
put (text file)
quit

Granted I haven't tried this in a while, but everything I've ever uploaded to idgames (my Ten Thousand mod and my brother's Castle map) has been uploaded just fine using this.

EDIT: Agh, Zippy beat me to it.

[Ceeb]

Well fuck me.

I got it working. 95%, oh boy! 96%, yay! 97%, joygasm!

Connection lost, redial?

DFLKJGNFDSJKLGNJKFNSDJHKLGFSDJHFDJSGVJSHBK;'DGJ

WHY!? So close! Evil goddamn dial up! Now my file is on the server, broken.

[Gez]

Can't you retry and tell it to continue? FireFTP is able to do that. Or is there protection against overwriting implemented on the server? In that case, you should put a note for the maintainer telling him the file is broken.

[Graf Zahl]

The /idgames master server is a piece of utter crap. I'm not surprised that it's causing problems. I can't connect to it at all because it persistently produces timeouts.

[Ceeb]

Yeah, it was MY problem the first time (my dial up hung up).

Second time, I discovered a small batch of serious errors in the file and fixed them.

Third time, just now, the server timed out at 75%. I'm done with this shit for one day.

[NeuralStunner]

There's always the DRD Team Share Space. Just make an account, upload your stuff, and you're good to go.

That's not permanent, though. Presumably Ceeb wants to upload it to /idgames because it's finished and he'd like it to appear in the /newstuff Chronicles.

[Gez]

That's not permanent, though.

It's permanent until he deletes it.

[Graf Zahl]

So why can't someone who does *not* have problems with this godforsaken server upload it?

Good question, isn't it?
