Great House Fliggerty site issues...

[Drakkmore]

Unfortunately my computer is currently down, and my other means of internet usage is old an outdated smartphone from like 2012 (I don't use it anymore, but I get wifi on it so it can work) which has a hard time with FB, and many other sites.
When I can get a hold from Fliggerty, I'll let him know, but it may be a while.

Thank you for the swift answer. It would be great to see the files back, even if it takes time.

Greetings to all GHF members! I just wanted to ask if anybody knows about the situation with the additional file downloads hosted on this site? The ones on MMH are currently working perfectly fine, ...

They don't for me.

[Iolite]

Is that so? Usually I just check from "Sail Cloth Retexture" page, it works for me. That may mean only certain additional downloads are fixed. Could you point to ones which you found problematic?

Unless the problem has been fixed very recently, I tried uploading a new version of one of my mod in the "additional files" on that mod page and it didn't work. I got an error message similar to the one I posted here: viewtopic.php?f=88&t=6909&p=101665#p101652

Maybe it's just a compatibility problem between Firefox Quantum 66.0.2 (64 bits) and the site?

I haven't tried with another browser and I don't feel like installing another one just to try... Maybe I'll do that... one day.

Well, I was talking about downloads only - I think I saw your thread about upload problems before. Looks like you can't upload for now, but the old files stay intact.

It may sound like none of my business, but I suggest using Pale Moon, the browser is free of bloat, fast, oldschool and works wonders. Firefox is now a lot less appealing than before: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox.html .

This article may also help with the browser choice, if you feel so inclined https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/browsers.html .

I hope the additional upload function on MMH will get fixed, this is crucial for keeping mod community alive!

I tried Pale Moon yesterday and it didn't seem better than Firefox to me; with the exact same pages loaded it used above 600 mB in my memory about the same amount as Firefox.

I went here and the problems was still there, so I got back to Firefox. Maybe it's not a compatibility problem after all.

Thanks for the advice anyway!

You're welocme! Well, speed is a tricky matter, I agree that in some cases there's hardly any difference. However, I think it's still definitely better in terms of privacy. There's also K-Meleon, but it's very very small and lacks some functions I find vital.

I also think it's an external problem, I recommended the browser not because it could fix this particular issue... It all depends on Fliggerty's actions now.

I noticed that sometimes certain mods' pages on MMH refuse to display any content, but the problem goes away if you wait for about one day. It happened once with Better Bodies, and more recently, with More Better Clothes.

Long time lurker but first time poster.  I'm hoping someone can help.  I am trying to download Better Clothes Bloodmoon Plus 1.5 from the Additional Files section of http://download.fliggerty.com/download-21-804 and instead of the download I get taken to a page (http://download.fliggerty.com/additional_file.php?id=138) full of nonsense , I tried this with 3 (Chrome, Opera and Firefox) different browsers and all did the same thing  However, when I try to download version 1.0 from the main link, that works fine.  I've replied here as I thought it might be the most relevant place from the title, apologies if it isn't.

Regards

Same result for me with Firefox. I searched for this mod on MMH but couldn't find it, pity...

Interesting. I just used the 21-804 link in ladyonthemoon's post and was able to download the BCBM+ file from the Download button without issue. Of course, this machine is using outdated FF 56.0b9, because I got tired of the new versions not using the addons that make it work like Classic FF.

I just tried the same thing as you did and I use Firefox 56.0, but couldn't download anything and eventually Firefox simple hanged waiting for GHF-DL to load something I dunno what is.  

Which forced me to exit Firefox then re-launch it.

You managed to download the additional file?

Hi DonnerGott,  can you share that link you used please?  I've looked through the previous posts on this thread and couldn't find one.  Many thanks.

Assume this is the message your all seeing.. as it is the same I get

But it does appear to be random, I have downloaded several mods from GHF download section over the last few days to see what it was doing and I got this message about 50% of the time.

Thanks for the reply Dietbob.  Yeah, that's the error and it's driving me mad.  Every other mod I've needed I've been able to download with no issues but the one I REALLY need, I can't get!!  

I'll keep trying and see what happens...unless you fancy trying to download it for me and possibly send it me via PM, if that is allowed.

[DonnerGott]

Sorry, didn't see that we were discussing the Additional files; those are generally broken on all of the GHFDL pages, right now. I can't even save edits to the pages, either.

[MalekBrood]

Ahh damn...that's a pain and from what I can tell by trawling around various forums, this appears to be the only modding resource site that hosts the update too.  

Are the links getting repaired at all?

I wouldn't recommend trying to download it. I just did it and all what happened is that Firefox used more and more memory, and that it kept using more and more of it after I closed the tab. When I shut down Firefox it was using about 4,8 gB of memory.

[dietbob196045]

I understand

As far as I know, GHF is the only site that has this mod, and the wayback machine doesn't help   So as for me I can not get it

If your inclined to try new things   Here is a link to a post on reddit regarding alternative methods for Downloading from GHF

https://old.reddit.com/r/Morrowind/comm ... fliggerty/

However I have not personally tried it so your on your own as far as that goes,  hopefully it works with no issues

Thanks Dietbob, however, the last comment on the hack method post linked in your original link is from me saying it doesn't work

Wayback Machine just tells me that it's an invalid file id and the 'hack' method doesn't work because when I right click on the link I only get an option to 'Save Image As' as opposed to 'Save Link As'

[dietbob196045]

It was worth a try I suppose

Sorry it didn't work, hopefully these php issues will be resolved sooner then later.  Of course if I come across anything else that looks hopefully I will be sure to post it


Enjoy

Just to clarify, I've tested Better Clothes Bloodmoon 1.0 (main download) in actual gameplay. It may serve as a substitute to 1.5 somewhat - the vanilla segmented clothes are indeed replaced with BB-compatible smooth meshes (tested on a female character). Specifically, this concerns at least the grey "wolfy" common pants from the expansion.

But there are problems too. One pair of dark expensive pants has a texture error - bright white line on the front, looks kinda like zipper, but it obviously shouldn't be there. The submitter on the mod's page mentions problems with missing groin parts, which might be related to this problem.

That's why I think that the additional version 1.5 file is still pretty important for anyone who wants to have a full BC set in Morrowind.

As for the browsers, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which one to use in this situation, it's the server problems. I remember using Ungoogled Chormium a few months ago, when this problem started to appear, and I got the same errors. And I agree that it's better not to visit that page right now, the memory leak is terrible (use Ctrl+W to close a tab quickly in most browsers, it may help if you react fast enough).
