While this is indeed unfortunate, if you can compile a list with script/mod names, their direct download links and maybe even a link to their topics, it should be fairly easy to replace the download links, although it may take a little while.

Testing bbcode that the site is putting out

It took a while to work out the new file structure but I seem to have coded it alright.

Good progress so far.

Do you think that you will be able to recover the file descriptions, author, download count, and other meta data? It would be a shame to lose all that.

Is it safe to assume that you had no backup of the site at all? Even an old one might be helpful?

All that information should mostly be all there now (apart from images) and hopeully you can see and edit the files you have uploaded. I do have a few back ups of the site but i'm having to pick bits out and integrate them in the new one.

I think some files which did originally have descriptions / author don't now due to have special characters in the filename {@$ ect. Because when I re uploaded them the new jdownloads component stripped all the special characters (and spaces?) away from the filename which means I could not link the old database to them.

Trying to download the simple and small No Fog mod (all of them actually) and can only download the No.Fog.Original.View.Distance.X3AP but not No.Fog.Original.View.Distance.X3TC or No_Fog_2.5comp_Fake_Patch_V1.0.
Why is there a permission to download for one file but not the other two?

I don't know why downloading them files where a problem, i've changed some settings now. Previously you download directly off the server which is better for large files but now over php script.

Hopefully fixed the problem.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

Either I'm doing something wrong and it's the client's side fault or something is going on the server's side. I'm registered and activated through email and these are the results from 1 minute ago:

http://postimg.org/image/kctczp5fn
http://postimg.org/image/kbjf6a3lv/

One is OK, the other 2 not. Strange and peculiar for me at least.

Edit: I got the files I wanted, but not through your site. I copy pasted the Skydrive Download Mirror BBCode you had for NoFogAP and accessed the onedrive file collection you have, and downloaded it directly from there, bypassing your website. The problem of your website still exists.

So my suggestion to everyone who have difficulties on your website is to go to the respective OneDrive or GoogleDrive directly and get the files from there.

I can confirm Bambacha's problem with downloading files. It's also not limited to this single mod, but affects others as well. The ones in the jDownloads Latest list for example.

Sorry been a busy couple of days. I can't see why its got that problem as in the database they all have the same access, will keep looking.

The admin access level shows the download as normal that's why I didn't notice it, but the registered level which I was not expectng has the problem aswell as public.

Not really a fix but...

Think I fixed the problem, I just changed the 'who has access' php code. Although this means that I have no special control for changing who has access to the downloads. Now everyone should be able to view the available files.

Don't need it so its a quick fix solution.

Just coming along to say a couple things:

- Requiring registration before being able to download some trivial script isn't very good
- Having a seperate name and username is confusing
- I still can't download the script, and it's not available anywhere else.


Edit: I found the backup link. Move along.

That shouldn't be the case. Downloading files should be possible without having to login. As mentioned on xdownloads.co.uk, there are some links which still don't work for some reason. So please report the script you cannot download.

Edit: Okay, I see what the problem is. Apparently, only downloads from the X3AP and XBTF section works. In all other section overviews, the warning "info You do not have permission to download this file." is displayed and you're redirected to the overview page, when you try to download the file.

Yeah it's a known bug, i'm trying to find out why its doing that. All downloads should be available to download without logging in.

I have started with updating / adding download links here in the Egosoft forum for scripts/mods hosted on xdownloads. Thereby, I replaced old xdownloads or x1tp.com links with new xdownloads links or added an xdownloads link, if the provided download mirrors wouldn't work anymore. In any way, I left a short message saying what I did in the opening posts of edited script/mod threads. On xdownloads I added links to the respective script/mod threads or posts, if they weren't present yet. The majority of scripts and mods listed in the X3AP section on xdownloads should have updated download links in their forum topic now. I will continue doing the same for the other scripts / mods in the next few days.

While browsing through the different scripts and mods I noticed some oddities though:
  1. All scripts and mods in the X3AP (and XBTF) sections are listed twice. This also seems to apply to some X3R sections (like Fight -> Combat). Example from X3AP -> Cheats: Change sector owner #1 and Change sector owner #2 (by jack775544).
  2. The 500 km Comm range mod is listed under X3AP -> Life, but the "requested page can't be found" when you click on either of the links. The Download button works though.
  3. The website layout is destroyed or lets say misaligned in the X3AP tools section. What normally is displayed at the right side (GTranslate Option, redirection warning message, Login Form, Donate panel and Who's online overview) is displayed on the bottom left side instead.
I also have some questions:
  • Next to Cronos' Advanced Fight Scripts, there's a "checked-out" link, which apparently locks the topic from any further editing. Is it supposed to be like that? Not that I planned to edit anything there, but I am curious.
  • What does the abbreviation "VC" (the name of an X3AP category) stand for?
  • When browsing categories, would be possible to have the buttons to go to the next/previous and first/last page also at the bottom of current page?

Fixing, some files may be unavailable to download while i'm doing this.
The 500 km Comm range mod is listed under X3AP -> Life, but the "requested page can't be found" when you click on either of the links. The Download button works though.
I have no idea why that wasn't working so I deleted it and created a new one.
Next to Cronos' Advanced Fight Scripts, there's a "checked-out" link, which apparently locks the topic from any further editing. Is it supposed to be like that? Not that I planned to edit anything there, but I am curious.
It looks like I went out of editing without saving or cancelling or I switched user accounts while editing. Shouldn't be like that and I could only remove the lock from the back end.
What does the abbreviation "VC" (the name of an X3AP category) stand for?
It was originally visual change, the server folder was VC to prevent a space in the url which might break something I was testing at the time. But the new jdownloads component reads the folder name and if I try and change it to visual change it will automatically change the server folder name.
When browsing categories, would be possible to have the buttons to go to the next/previous and first/last page also at the bottom of current page?
I've just increased the amount it shows per page so you should need to have to go to the new page. If this makes the page load up too slow, i will limit it and put the page buttons at the bottom.

i'm looking in to it, it must be something in one of the file descriptions. EDIT: Fixed it was a span class in the description of x3ap hanger


Thanks for your help

The pages load fine, even if there are lots of entries. Thanks.

I do have a problem with the entry of the "BBS News Paket" though: Link to overview page. It is only accessible, if I'm logged in on xdownloads. If not, when I try to open that link, the error message "Error - You are not authorised to view this resource." is displayed. Additionally, you cannot find that download entry via the search. Not realising that the file is already there, I actually uploaded it again today here. But that entry has the very same problem. Since other downloads in the X2 scripts section are working fine, I have no idea what the problem is here. The google drive and MS Onedrive mirrors work fine though, so I'm using them for the moment.

Also, a minor mistake I noticed: The BBCode template in the overview of each script / mod entry for the google drive mirror uses the skydrive image instead of the google image.

It was set to a view level of special, there must be a setting which i'm struggling to find to... found it. Now when you upload a file it will be set with an access view of public.

Thanks, i will change that.
