Oscar, you should have access to all your posts again.

If everyone registers with the name they had before I am able to re-attribute their posts.

Xplorer, what amount of posts would that be?

Who cares. Its post count. For all I care we could remove post count from the post info and it would make no difference to me.

Oh and Stan, have you tried disabling all hacks? I suspect the reminants of hacks are the reason things are screwed. Disable all plug ins/mods till there reinstalled.

The problem is theres a modification that hung it self up while uninstalling due to missing write rights, the problem is not a modification or hack. it's only that mod hagging between installed and uninstaled.

Woooooooooooot it created a new account for me?

Frigging sick facebook

Yeah thanks! I just loose my avatar and my sugnature changed to my old its like the forum vent back in time

Theoretically all is from 14-03-20010 besides the topics and posts

I'm oscar creator the barcelona city mod ,lost my mail account, username or password does not accept that he had, now and had to open new account and want to access the old order to continue with the barcelona city mod post and retrieve messages

What do you want? Be clear please. As far I understand you want to be author of your topic again?

oh great It says the Dublin mod was uploaded by guest oh great

...Did I say I am done? Last time this happened it took me two weeks to fix the database, so be patient

What about PMs?

Even if I could, the time that I would need to re-attribute all those PMs would be immense, besides that some newly registered members would wrongly get PM's that ain't for them and that's a too big privacy risk for me.

CANNOT_BLOCK_STARTER

I get this error when trying to block PMs.

Will look onto this as soon IPB fixed some issues in the ACP because atm I can do like nada

Yeah, managed to get back everything except my Photo. Same message.

Also, lost the most recent PMs (I was afraid of that) and all of the other ones say they're from a deleted member and are all deleted (the messages have the red X that says that), but I can still view them.

EDIT: WTF my post count went down 1200 posts... I haven't posted that much since March. And other people like Xplorer have the same amount. DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It recounted the posts, this means if allot of your posts where deleted your post count goes wooom. We all had to bring offers for it, it costed my night after all

The error with upload should be fixed

!!All text in bold is no more important for me or means that a certain reported bug is fixed

Hello,

We have two announcements to make today. Let's begin with the bad one.\

While doing maintenance, a software bug resulted in the loss of all members. I was able to recover all registrations done till 14-03-2010. In addition to this, some users might have lost signature, profile info or avatars.

Now tot he better part,

We upgraded the forum to the latest version, we will be doing regular maintenance in the coming weeks. In addition, we are now doing database backups each day at midnight. Those backups will be kept 7 days

Regards,

Stan

Does it only crash in the la mod? Or all mdos and the normal game?

Welcome to the forums,

What Windows are you using? Are you administrator on that computer?

Costs make a bit more sense now when you explain as such. 8gb and 100mbit... Yeah. I'm starting to understand why it costs so much. So it is a completely dedicated? Not a shared. - None-the-less, I think I'm getting a bit off topic. :/

Not really off topic

The 100Mbit line was needed, with a 10Mbit line we would go unavailable unfortunately

Do you mind release some other tid-bits? I'm understanding you use a server and not a cpanel based hosting account? If this is true, can you share some of the bandwidth amounts this site sustains. Your fees seem WAY to high. The fact you pay 38€ a year on a domain is messed up. It looks like a financial restructure needs to be done and move some services around. :/ Would you mind publicly or privately listing out some more information like what all your spending on and what the site does in terms of load and bandwidth? I can't see over 1.2k USD being logical for one site like this...

We use ~1500 GB on bandwidth every month, for that price you wont get this in the US.

I think you are clearly underestimating the site regarding visits and bandwidth. We have ~6000 unique daily visits and ~381819 hits per day

The server is clearly over-sized, but if I get the option to pay 150.00€ setup and get a 200% better setup than the server without setup I know what I take. Besides that, hosting and VPS cannot take the site at the current stage anymore and this way it offers enough buffer for future projects.

Anyways, this was the smallest package and you will really not get a core I7 server with 8GB DDR3 ram and 750 RAID 1 with 5000GB Transfer on an 100Mbit line in the US (At the time we bought this one, there wasn't)

Please notice that in the cost we had, we had to addition the setup fee this year and the purchases of several additional licenses, if we hadn't we would have been under the 950$ for sure

In regards to the domain cost, it may be the price of all the domains he owns. I think theres like 4 domains pointed to this server.

Might be cheaper to switch to vBulletin though. Its like $30 a year for support if you buy an owned license.

Moo, this is a really high end server. Havent looked at server prices but if memorey serves me right it runs an i7 920 with 8 GB RAM. I cant recall the rest of the specs but I do know its a rather high end server.

You are right on 1 and 3 but 2 you aren't. I own a perpetual licence of IPB fromt he old licensing system and pay 30.00$ a year, besides that I am happy with IPB therefore a change from IPB is not questionable for me.

I think for the clarity of this we should.

For that small amount of suggestions where more then half won't happen? No really not I know whats going to happen and what not and I really do not need a list since the pages are quite low numbered

BTW, the TOS link at the top right is still broken. It should be more visible, like have its own tab called Rules, rather then TOS.

This will be fixed when the new tos comes in, before that time it will stay like that since the tos is at the top of each forum

The tab TOS is currently under testing on our intern board so that's coming if it works right

I really think that the help topics need to be policed up. But let's make a list Stan.

THINGS STAN WANTS

THINGS MEMBERS WANT

THINGS THAT CANNOT TAKE PLACE

I don't need a list for that, I can decide things by myself instantly

Cleaned the topic...stay clean

All names are mentioned in the mod's readme

The missing objects is soemthing that shouldn't happen even without patches

And if you are unsure if you have them, you can just install them again

Regards,

Stan

Also in regards to my earlier point about mod team forums being useless, moving the threads in to mods would make tracking progress easier. As it is this means to keep track of all the mods released or in progress, we have to visit the la mod forum,the mod team forums(thats 7 forums alone) and not to mention em4 mods and maybe em3 mods. Thats 9-10 forums we have to visit just to keep track of mods. The teams themselves dont even utilize the forums in a capacity for team members to communicate. I imagine most of the communication takes place via msn and maybe private forums elsewhere to discus progress and such, so a whole forum for one-three threads seems useless. Maybe they would be better used hidden from the public and only the mod teams can access the forums to discuss things in private.

Those forums are there because they requested them, and because they got approved and other forums have them too. Therefore, for now, I will leave them where they are, how disturbing it might be for you or Gerard.

The LA mod and even NY Mod having there own forum(not now but in the future i think it would be warranted and even necessary but thats another issue) and having all mods in progress in the mods forums.

This has been discussed before, and I will tell exactly the same: This has already cleared between me and them since this has already been discussed and they decided to do it without any forum.

Also maybe toss what appear to be dead mods in to a separate forums.

Thats something I can agree with /\

Like I said, we are very probably going to use buttons at the top of the forum to open certain categories. So I am not sure that the split between Dutch and English part will happen the way you mgiht have requested.

Regards,

Stan

Read my post another time and you'll see you read a line over. The bullshit was about the line over the bullshit.

Welcome to the site,

How about the tutorials section?

Now my question: And how much people will really fill in that field?

And sorry to say that but this:

this site is more like a place for 2 topics. Off topic and LA mod

Was the biggest bullshit I ever heard

I think that this site really needs to help out with modding

As I already told in the other topic: We provided the platform for users to meet, finally it is not our work to help your guys with the mods and your issues. I already told it and will keep repeating it since I have zero time to waste my few time with that.

Technical help is one thing, modding is another. On the German or the French forum this isn't different... the users are helping users and not the staff is helping with mods.

My pov /\

1. to the forum READ THE TOS BECAUSE YOU POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION

And the TOS tells you exactly where to post? Stop playing police, this can happen in that case just report the topic and stop caps writing. If you would have read the TOS you would have known this is a boo here

-> Since I am getting complaints about this topic, please edit your posts and mention the authors of the 3D models

!VVideoPlayer::PlayVideo(): file 'base:/Video/16t.mpg' not found

Got a Samsung phone? Or have any codec pack?

Logfile folder? The game creates a Logfile in your main emergency 4 Directory

Okey, this topic has nada overview... If you have a problem, create your very own topic because having 5 to 7 people reporting their issues in one topic is quite senseless.

Try the newer drivers

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit

Might sound silly but often, in the first months the drivers of new cards are just crap

But in most cases going black shouldn't be due to games, but to a hardware or software defect or incompatibility

Both rigs where the same?

What class is your paramedic?

I suppose the mouse just moves to a corner. That happens when you alt tab during load or just can't wait with patience most of the time

If you restart the game this should be gone
