ob3kenob Posted December 29, 2003 I just uploaded two zip files (or think I did), one a text file, the other a copy of the text file and wad file combined in the same zip. My FTP uploading software says in its command line scroll that the files have been transferred, but they don't show up in the pub/incoming folder box. So I don't know if they really made it. The names are DoomX1-3.txt and DoomX1-3.zip. How can I check this out? 0 Share this post Link to post
Volte Posted December 29, 2003 AFAIK, you can't see stuff in that folder, you have to wait until it goes into newstuff or gets rejected. They're probably there, so no worries. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted December 29, 2003 I presume you mean that you attempted to upload to the Doom Community Archive. Note that this is not part of Doomworld. Look here - particularly incoming, newstuff and rejects. I don't see your files listed in any of them, so something has probably gone wrong. Note that the only place to upload files is ftp://archives.3dgamers.com/pub/idgames/incoming. If you tried to upload them to ftp://archives.3dgamers.com/pub/incoming, then it will have failed. If you have questions about this, then Ty Halderman is the man to ask (e-mail given on http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames). 0 Share this post Link to post
ob3kenob Posted December 29, 2003 Thanks, Grazza! I forgot the idgames part of the string, so that explains it. Sheesh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ty Halderman Posted December 29, 2003 Those have been merged now. They'll update on the in-span.net mirror in about 4 hours. 0 Share this post Link to post

ob3kenob Posted December 30, 2003 I'll still be sure to use the full string - just to be on the safe side. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted December 30, 2003 It would be a good idea to use the standard template for your text-files. As it is, they end up a bit of a mess when they appear in the idgames database. 0 Share this post Link to post
ob3kenob Posted December 30, 2003 Thanks. I'll upload new versions of my text files as soon as I fill them out. Will use your template in the future. Throw away all my other text files! 0 Share this post Link to post

Throw away all my other text files! Don't just upload the text files--the ones in the archive should be identical to the ones inside the zip file. Just repackage and reupload the zips. 0 Share this post Link to post
netnomad312 Posted December 30, 2003 What the? Oh, hell... it's been over ten months since I uploaded anything, and I got the folders confused. I've told one or two people to upload to the other folder... *smacks head* 0 Share this post Link to post
ob3kenob Posted December 30, 2003 Ty, by the time I read your message, I'd already uploaded a zipped file containing my two text files alone. Please ignore it: they are identical to the files included with my new text/wad file zips, uploaded a short while ago. I hope I've got things all straightened out now. Of course, I'll be glad to make any additional changes ASAP, if necessary. Oh, and a smack to Netnomad312's head, not that he's responsible for anything I've done in even the remotest way (I never heard of him 'till now), but just because it seems like a good idea. ;-[ What the hell... 0 Share this post Link to post
