Half-Life > Counter-Strike > Villa/House/Manor - Page 1 @ 17 Buddies - Download custom maps on the best global website !

If you sort all Half-Life maps by date in ascending order you can see it mostly happens in clusters, apart from the couple of standalone maps.
I'm currently browsing through all of 'em but so far ( page 40 from 1181 ) it seems to have happened only to 2 clusters from the very early ( 2004 ) uploads.

I still can't edit author.
Do I, as a moderator, need to press anything more after I clicked on validate? Don't think so, right?

Arkshine:

Refresh and try again?

Yesterday at 4:16 PM

rUsHnUt:

Ok I'll log out, log in and try again now.

Yesterday at 4:18 PM

rUsHnUt:

Yes it works! Good job.

Yesterday at 4:20 PM

rUsHnUt:

Now for the missing mainscreens. If you want I'll make a list and post it in the forum. Ok?

Yesterday at 4:21 PM

Arkshine:

About the map without screenshot, it's because the dump contains the wrong category.

For example, cs_16fighter. The category in the dump is 127 (DM maps), when it should be 1 (CS maps). I fixed it, but I guess there will be a few maps where the category was already wrong.

Yesterday at 4:22 PM

Arkshine:

Though, some maps have their cat/mod correct already, like de_aztec, hmm.

i have backup for mainscreens

Yesterday at 4:53 PM

Arkshine:

About de_aztec. I'm not sure how exactly it works, but the image link uses a redirection. From what I see, the screenshot has been originally uploaded in the wrong category (CS).
I set the category to CS, the screenshot appears. I put back the DE category, the screenshot is still here. Probably related to the date change and the redirection needs to be regenerated.

Yesterday at 5:23 PM

Arkshine:

Same for as_tundra, the screenshot is originally uploaded in CS category.

Yesterday at 5:23 PM

Arkshine:

Same for awp_map. Looks like a bunch of maps screenshots were uploaded in CS category. Not sure yet if there a simple way to regenerate all without breaking stuff.

Yesterday at 5:29 PM

rUsHnUt:

You speak of originally but I have browsed through all Half-Life 1 maps per category multiple times for various reasons and I never came across clusters of maps being in the wrong category.
Especially not old maps & definitely not system maps ( like for example de_aztec ).
Must have to do with the attack on the site.

Yesterday at 6:51 PM

rUsHnUt:

After the attack not only the author was changed to one single name, some maps were moved to a different category, and so including their attached mainscreen.
After applying byplt's backup, all the maps that were moved due to the attack were now back in their "original" category. But sadly not the mainscreens so it seems.

Yesterday at 6:57 PM

rUsHnUt:

That's what I think has happened.

Yesterday at 6:57 PM

Arkshine:

Ah, right. I did not think the resources would follow the new directory.
I restored directly the database.
I guess I should have made a script to use the function used to change a category. It's not too late though.

Yesterday at 7:30 PM

rUsHnUt:

Do you still need a list of some sort?
Of course there will always be maps that didn't had a mainscreen before the attack but I'll try to exclude those as much as I can.

Yesterday at 8:00 PM

rUsHnUt:

byplt said that he also has a backup of the mainscreens ( 9 posts above this one ).

Yesterday at 8:02 PM

Arkshine:

The mainscreens are not lost, thankjs.
They were moved to the wrong directory.
Right now, I've run some basic scripts to move any files if exists from 2 (CS maps) to their current category. This way, if there are files that exist, they will be moved.

Yesterday at 8:12 PM

Arkshine:

I've run the script for the first 20K maps, not sure if we need to do that for all maps.

Yesterday at 8:15 PM

Arkshine:

Did it for 100K maps. At the very least, the HL1 maps seems to be fixed.

Yesterday at 8:29 PM

rUsHnUt:

Ok nice.
Looks like I can start editing all remaining maps where byplt is still the author.

Yesterday at 8:53 PM

byplt:

You can find out some authors at web.archive.org

Yesterday at 9:29 PM

rUsHnUt:

Thanks for the info byplt.
I'll take a look for the ones not having a name inside the txt-file or not having a txt-file at all.

Yesterday at 9:42 PM

Igrik:

I'm in position

Today at 9:15 AM

deepeyes:

Any plan to prevent the same mess from happening again?

Today at 9:36 AM

rUsHnUt:

Arkshine upped the security a bit & I presume he has made a more recent backup than the one he previously had.
If not he'd probably better do so...
