IMPORTANT: Loss of Files & File Re-uploads ***

woodelf · Mar 5, 2008

GarretSidzaka has his own thread about recovery of his files, but TF asked me to start one for the rest of us. If there is any modder who was affected by the hacking job done on March 2 who no longer has his/her files please post here so hopefully someone can supply them.

Anything after July 2007 is affected, before that the archive kept the files.

Original discussion thread is here.

How can I verify if my uploads are safe while the upload link is disabled?

woodelf · Mar 5, 2008

Uploads are all gone. No verification needed.

Ambreville · Mar 5, 2008

So how/when can I put them back there?

woodelf · Mar 5, 2008

mediafire or the like for files and photobucket for images, that's where I host now. The upload service was a security issue...

Shiggs713 · Mar 5, 2008

if you go to the downloads area and click "upload a file" you can still upload to CFC. Not sure how reliable it is, as woodelf already said, MediaFire is great for files, and photobucket works great for images.

Ambreville · Mar 5, 2008

Yeah, thanks! I've already moved my scenario mod to mediafire. Looks pretty good!

woodelf · Mar 5, 2008

Definitely still use the database, but files that used to go to uploads need external hosting.

Dom Pedro II · Mar 5, 2008

Also, there's a lot of files that are from modders who have long since left the forums. Some enterprising forum reader should go through and see what's gone and then post it here.

Long since left will still be there. It's people who might have left recently that will be an issue.

And Dom Pedro volunteers to check through the database for 401s.

Thanks for posting this thread, woodelf.

Everyone, let's use this thread to organize file restoration / re-uploads effort for Civ4 files.

If you have the files for some missing items, please upload them to this thread so we could edit the file entries and re-upload the files.

NeverMind · Mar 6, 2008

I re-uploaded all my files to DB.

Dale · Mar 6, 2008

What of files like mine where I host off-site? Are the DB links dead for them?

woodelf · Mar 6, 2008

I doubt they'd be dead, but checking should be easy.

I was wondering if anyone had the upgradable buildings mod for bts. If someone could re-upload it, that would be great.

edit: actually its quite easy to make buildings upgradable. Just look at the way some national wonders require other buildings.

I uploaded the Standard version here a few days ago - but if anyone can edit dj_anion's database entry for it mine could be deleted

C.Roland · Mar 10, 2008

Its really annoying ...

I don't have time right know to reupload all my files, I'll try later.

If someone need one particular files, just pm me and I'll try to reupload it.

Thanks Ori. I have edited the entry to point to the version you uploaded:

http://www.civfanatics.net/downloads/civ4/reference/C4BtS_reference.zip

I'll delete the file entry you made.

BTW, are these two versions the latest version?
