Diabolución Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I have just downloaded the official backup. For the sake of documenting it, its SHA-1 sum is 6ccb8f6f214ea8d6898de6ad71f423cf5967fb95. Edited June 9, 2021 by Diabolución I wish I could edit my own posts silently. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Ozymandias81 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Curious to see from whom it comes this thread... Anyway since R667 has been pristine again, I suggest to close this since it is redundant and unnecessary. If I will be still willingly to post anything on this forum, maybe in the future I will share my files regarding R667 which I have jealously kept since 2005.

Exit243 Posted June 9, 2021 Here is my (automated) take on the archive of downloads from all repository sections as of today, 9 Jun 2021 (~900MB zip): https://transfer.sh/get/1rYgDsC/Realm667_9_Jun_2021.zip https://x0.at/-8AN.zip https://ufile.io/hut850dj (choose any link, it's mirrors of the same zip archive) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Murdoch Posted June 9, 2021 20 minutes ago, Ozymandias81 said: Anyway since R667 has been pristine again, I suggest to close this since it is redundant and unnecessary This incident has proven precisely the opposite. As I said on another thread, trusting an important resource to a single point of failure is a recipe for disaster. Torm could one day just say fuck it, shut it all down, and disappear without a word. He could die. Many potential circumstances could lead to the loss of the repository. 15 Quote Share this post Link to post

Oh wait: I have an idea that this is another trick to destroy another modder reputation, or worse feelings regarding the community and its lack of empathy in general. I am simply not eager to share my files primarly for this reason, second because there is some stuff that has been removed from the website and I respect that. Torm is my friend and I know him, whatever will happen in the future is just something we can't handle in general, this also means that this thread then should have been opened ages ago, not after banning him, which is a very curious coincidence.

It doesn't effect you or anyone else. I'll also mention your name is on the zscript for those reprehensible lady gore sprites, I am not interested in anything you have to offer. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post

Because Torm never used his monetized, e-begging platform to insult a modder's reputation over things that happened several years before, extrapolating his own twisted interpretations, accusing of doing everything he have done himself. and calling out the person's works to be avoided. Nah, this literally never happened. Edited June 10, 2021 by Sergeant_Mark_IV 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted June 9, 2021 That article has some priceless quotes, given the current situation. Quote What really makes me boycott the mod is the author's attitude towards other people's work and behaviour when it comes to criticism (I mean, you have to be seriously anti-social to get banned on almost every community messageboard here) Just... wow. Genuinely incredible. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Major Arlene Posted June 9, 2021 Alright guys, enough. Points have been made. The goal of this thread is to archive resources, not have another flame war. 12 Quote Share this post Link to post

Dude, people just want to back up the files. Calm down. Imagine if people reacted this way each time /idgames was mirrored. Please do not talk about a "lack of empathy" given the content of the mod in question. You may be 12 years older than me but a child can see the irony there from a mile away: "We used the actual names of people involved with the holocaust in our mod, but you kicked a guy from a website, you absolute empathy-lacking monsters!" Why not try and make some reasonable points? Maybe working on making some amends instead of digging your heels in? I'm saying this for the good of you and everyone else's hard work that went into BoA. Believe it or not, even from the shitty position you guys were in, you could have come here and salvaged something rather than actively trying to make the situation worse by saying rubbish like "Anyone who thinks the outrage was largely justified has forfeited their own opinion because they disagree with my position, by the way I'm a paragon of maturity". It just doesn't grok, it comes off more like you want this divide to continue or get even worse with an approach like that. Edited June 9, 2021 by Doomkid 10 Quote Share this post Link to post

obake Posted June 9, 2021 I like the idea of having backup repositories. In fact, I'm in the process of making my own website. I don't know if I'd have the space to host everything, but I can certainly host a good amount of stuff. Always good to have multiple options. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Redneckerz Posted June 9, 2021 FWIW: I can host the entire archive on a FTP if needed from DRDTeam. 0.92 GB, right? I also want to denote that a certain site is on sale if one needs a replacement: Spoiler 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

MTrop Posted June 9, 2021 Well, that repo dump posted on R667 isn't sorted into folders like the site rip, so that was somehow less useful. We're already putting together a separate repository. I'm sure we'll have some things to report about later in the month. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Man of Doom Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) In regards to getting a whole new repository done, it’s worth noting that even the resources we do have currently could use expansion. Namely, in that the existing repository mainly seems to serve ZDoom-based ports due to monsters/weapons/props primarily using DECORATE (pre-2008 DECORATE, in some cases). It’d certainly be nice to see variants of those resources be usable for other ports like EDGE and Eternity, as well as DeHackEd versions for older ports and ZScript versions for newer ZDoom-derived ports if possible. Not only that, management of this new repository would need to be decentralized and more community-driven so that its existence isn’t at the mercy of one capricious creator.

Yeah, I agree with this, with pretty much anything here, the newer and older resources variants would be really nice, since before with Realm 667 only thing I could find was zscript or DECORATE, I really want some custom monsters for Boom, EDGE, or Eternity, and of course the management of the repository should be handled by more than one person who can just decide to delete everything if he wants to 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

''Look at this exclusive stuff nobody else has.'' Why would he offer a zipped copy of the entire repository if that was his intent?
