News / Site maintenance
« on: September 23, 2023, 16:56:24 »
:breakpage:
:breakhead:
While the site undergoes some maintenance (due to some malicious attacks) most interactive features have been disabled until further notice while an investigation is underway by the hosting provider. Due to the lack of staff resources, it is unlikely that a resolution will be quick.

The steps to resolve these attacks have been taken by the retired admin and the original creator of this iteration of Modarchive, as Saga Musix has not been seen since at least November 2022.

Website News Archive / HackerNews hug of death

Just so you know the site seems to be having patchy availability due to the webserver running out of process/threads on the scenesat server, the news post is here:

Link to HN post

Cool though, lots of passion still out there which is nice to see.

Wishing you all the best while riding out this small hitch.

Website News Archive / TMA funding paid up for 2 years in advance

Since nobody posted this important news; I just like to say my legacy leaves you with two years without needing to do a fund raising drive. Paid up in advance; some donations went towards it, the remainder was contributed by my wife and myself.

Have a good future. I expect to be able to see my own mods stuff decades from now!

Website News Archive / Site restored to working!

*breathe*

Site works again. Data center are hands-on looking into why their switch is messing with the server's MAC address and making it fail to recover after a power outage.


I repaired the database which was corrupted by the outage.

My hands hurt but you're worth it.

I had also had a road crash so my spine and head isn't too good right now.

This is more or less a good bye from me as I have handed over everything to Saga;

I have revoked my paypal address so any further donations won't work until he has his set up;

The server is secured for another billing cycle - I will be paying the bill in advance to ensure continuity - according to the data center; this will be fine.

Your mothers slippers is not an insult; its the holy ground upon which she walked. Blessed ground. In dedication to my mom; modarchive.org was here and mine for a while.

*tears*

I still love everyone; but nobody loves me except for my beautiful life partner Ilona who has watched this site rip me to shreads; it is about time. So long and thanks for being the best oldskool party on the planet.

Recruiting screeners to help with survival of this archive; we need quality screeners who know skill; technique and can uphold this: https://modarchive.org/index.php?faq-screening-policy

Reply to this post on the forums with your UserID number from the site & we can see where this goes.

That is what I designed this system for; thats why there are roles; screeners aren't admins :-)

Website News Archive / Uploads back online

Updated: Ok, so we had some pretty major problems go undetected for a long time - our file hasher was not hashing properly and as such some modules have been overwritten with incorrect files, this has been fixed now. There are a few missing files but those are currently being  re-added to the archive, some were lost as far back as 2004!

If you spot any anomalies on your artist profiles, please get in touch as I'd like to fix them.  If you find modules on the archive which should belong on a certain profile, we would also like to know because we can add them manually. There are a lot of dormant profiles which we are more than happy to associate modules to, again, get on the forum so we can hash this out.

Pun totally intended.

I'm doing some corrective maintenance.
Uploads will be back up sometime tomorrow!

Website News Archive / DMF Support Added
« on: May 08, 2014, 19:24:32 »

:breakhead:
Hello!

Mod Archive now supports DMF format (X-Tracker).

This is experimental at the moment, and may pave the way forward for supporting more "classic" formats in the future.

Playable with XMPlay with this plugin (works in Wine too) or libopenmpt (comes with a cross-platform command line player, and input plugins for XMPlay, Winamp and Foobar2000).


Big thanks go to Saga Musix for helping with updating instrument parser.

Also, there has been some tweaks done to the site, unfortunately there are times when I've screwed something up and broken further down the chain, and I won't notice it for days - so if you spot something that isn't working anymore please get in touch.
