Spellhold Studios Forum down?

[Salk]

Hi!

I have not been able to access the SHS Forum for 3-4 days now. Can others confirm it's been down for quite some time?

Thanks!

[megrimlock]

Same for me.

The SHS staff are looking into this, though there's no ETA on the site coming back up.

In the meantime, you can check the SHS github organization if you want to download hosted mods: https://github.com/SpellholdStudios/

Before SHS went down, I rescued The Darkest Day 1.14 then, after SHS went down, backed it up on Google for me.  This isn't the EE version (TDDz) which is already on GitHub, but TDD should be backed up on GitHub on SHS.

I mentioned this before at least implicitly, but if you have any mods that were hosted on the SHS site but not on GitHub, where should we put them for now, especially if we aren't the author/maintainer?

Thankee!

Isn't it already there? http://europe.iegmc.net/tdd-weidu/

I keep trying to find another source for me to download the Rogue Rebalancing mod, but other than SHS, I cannot seem to locate it. I even tried the SHS GitHub link above, but no dice. Any ideas?

https://github.com/FredrikLindgren/rr/tags

or

http://europe.iegmc.net/rr/

[temyankee]

The first link shows 2 options, basically, Source Code(zip) or Source Code(tar.gz). Do I presume corretly that I am to DL the Source Code(zip) file? The other link got blocked by Webroot, my security software.

[mickabouille]

Both are just archive formats. You've probably better chances to have an extractor for the zip one already installed.

[mickabouille]

Ah sorry, the zip versions on github and on europe.iegmc.net don't have a setup.exe inside, which for unknown reason to me seems to be a problem for people under windows.

I don't know about the rr-v492.exe on iegmc, I imagine it's a self-extracting archive but I have no (easy) way to examine its content.

The missing EXE is just a copy of weidu.exe; some modders decide not to package a potentially older version, so get the newest version from https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases, rename the exe to 'setup-rr.exe'

Which is the reasonI don't understand why this seems to cause problem. Why distribute X times the same binary everywhere when it could just be distributed once ?

These sites only contain those official release mods. Lots of minor mod just posted in the forums, for example, 'Bigger Fonts' or 'BGT Tweaks' , still not available.

I'm on vacation now but I sincerely hope the SHS Forum will be back online by the time I return home in five days' time.

I think it's been down for 9 days as today.

It really is rather worrying. Someone with more knowledge than me should try and write a script to let the Wayback Machine archive it once it comes back online, in order to preserve bug reports, reviews etc for posterity should one crash finally prove the last.
