The DLDB experienced some strange problems in the past week.

A great number of maps awaiting approval *magically* disappeared from the Approval menu, and end up in a section I will refer to as the WTF pile. Files in the WTF pile are still salvageable: that is, they can be downloaded by me and the other DLDB keepers. However, it appears they have become disconnected from the rest of the site's SQL stuff (I'm not familiar with that personally) and, therefore, no longer have the original Submitter/Creator/Description/Category/Screenshot information along with the maps themselves.

The list below is the WTF pile. Do not panic; as I stated earlier, the files are still there. However, to make everything a lot easier for us, it is recommended that you resubmit all maps you see here in the WTF pile.

EDIT: changed some present tenses to past tense, as the problem has not been reoccurring recently

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Ultimo on 2005-10-03 at 18:05:39

This supposely is caused by the recent downtimes of the server of SEN?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2005-10-03 at 19:07:53

Supposedly. The maps dissapeared from the DLDB database, but we still have the raw files.

A few other maps are in the SQL database and aren't on the server.

How strange... at least most of the files are still salvageable...

*Voyager7456(MM) shudders thinking of what would have happened if the entire DLDB went down...

Report, edit, etc...Posted by slayer766 on 2005-10-03 at 21:59:23

Aww man that sucks...

Hope you guys can get this fixed.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathawk on 2005-10-03 at 23:26:01

How would the site going down effect the maps vanishing...?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Slyence on 2005-10-03 at 23:28:57

The server hotsts sen... and the files are hosted off sen...

Now, if the site goes down...so do the maps.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Deathawk on 2005-10-03 at 23:30:29

but what about files like the Map Editors, where do they go?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by DT_Battlekruser on 2005-10-03 at 23:31:40

The following files exist on the SEN server as a file in the /downloads/, but do not have an entry in the DLDB.

CODE

This error was caused by a manual removal and replacement of all files on the SEN server. An earlier SQL copy was restored than the /downloads directory. If a file you submitted appears on this list, re-submit it. If you require the file to be retrieved, feel free to PM me.

That was my post before the server crashed an hour ago...

I'll steal that format.

I guess starting now, we can be expecting some maps.

*Slyence puts on DLDB armor... Get ready to fight guys.

Hmm... he did resubmit it. I suppose it'll just be denied again. I'll delete the file in the WTF pile, so if you want to deny it (I don't really want to bother with what you already did), we can see if Denying maps will send them there.

I wonder how usefull a 20 byte map set would be? That defently made me say "WTF"

This site seems to be having a lot of technical trouble lately.

My first day as a DLDB was the day I denied that. It was a zip archive with nothing in it.
