Can'r reach Gibbering3.net

For the past few days, I've been unable to reach the G3 websites, nor the Spellhold Studios websites for that matter. I'm wondering if anyone else has such an issue? I haven't found problems with other sites I visit, so it's kind of weird.

    Given this seems to be an annual occurance (I've found threads asking for mirrors over the span of several years) is really grates on me that some mod creators are so banal they only allow their stuff to be posted on one website. Eventually, both these websites will no longer be with us, and what then?

    Its worth noting that both G3 and SHS went down here. So even if people had backed their mod up on both places it wouldn't have made a difference (so its not just a case of people only backing up on one site).

    Some people just prefer certain sites for their own reasons. I prefer SHS because of its look, the ability to access upload history, and write in patch notes (without actually having to create a document for this). Other people have other preferences. I keep all my stuff backed up both locally and on google drive. So while this is an issue that should never be a problem for very long with one of my mods I can definitely see why people might prefer to just put their mods on the one site.

    Speaking of these sites being down, does anyone know of an alternate download for the Innershade and I Shall Never Forget you mods? I think those are the only ones I'm missing for my next run.

    I'm really glad I downloaded most of the stuff that interested me a while back.

    @Ratatoskr589 You may want to check out this thread https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/42972/links-to-the-mods-from-spellhold-studios-gibberlings-3-while-these-websites-are-down

    In fact it might be worthwhile to resurrect the thread for the time being.

    I didn't see them there, but thanks. If it wasn't closed, I would've asked on that thread instead.

    It's all down for me as well. Unfortunately, the listed of the mods isn't really available anywhere except there. Pocket Plane is still up, though. Would be nice if they could mirror files themselves.

    That's one of the threads I've come across in the past. Sadly, many of the mirrors have been removed.

    My mistake. I didn't check the last post to see if the thread was closed.

    If I remember correctly (and circumstances seem to indicate I do), a few years back SHS was getting enough traffic that it needed to be on its own dedicated server. As this is fairly cost prohibitive for a not-for-profit website, SHS and G3 Admins went in together to split the cost of the dedicated server. This arrangement is beneficial for both communities in a number of ways, but the downside is that if the server itself goes down, both sites go down (as has happened here). As a result, assuming that one site will always serve as a good place to host backups from the other it is not necessarily a safe assumption.

    Backups are a good idea. So are fall back plans....

    Indeed.

    Imoen Romance is still available: http://imoen.blindmonkey.org/downloads.php

    A couple of mods can also be downloaded from the following urls:

    This is why I have such a huge load of mod setup files on my PC. Though to be honest, from what I can remember, when I was last able to check, it had been a while since Gibberlings 3 especially had any new mods... sad that.

    Thanks for the links.

    EDIT
    Damn, anyone have WeiDU 236? His website only has a working link for 185.

    For BG2Tweaks, just grab Tweaks Anthology from Github.

    Can't figure out how to use the mod. It's downloaded by clicking the "Clone or download" button, correct? The bat file doesn't seem to work, I just get "The system cannot find the path specified" error.

    Download a released version at: https://github.com/Gibberlings3/Tweaks-Anthology/releases

    Ah, I see how to navigate GitHub now. Thanks.
    I updated the list earlier to reflect mods I've managed to get.

    Ah, it's a password prompt. I feel like a dunce now.
    Thanks for the link. I was able to get quite a few of the mods I was looking for, but I'm still missing Almateria's Restoration Project, Alternatives, Amber, Weapon Animation Tweaks, Sorcerer's Place collection, IWDification, BG:EE Kitpack, Haer'Dalis Romance, Neera Expansion, and BP Series Party AI.

    Also, I couldn't download any of the large files (100+ MB) from there.

    Anyone has BiG World Installpack: The Mod itself (BiG World Installpack v15.6.2.7z)*?

    It says Cannot proceed installation without this essential mod.

  • RatatoskrRatatoskr Member Posts: 726
    I'm still looking for:

    I Shall Never Forget You
    Innershade

    If anyone has those for BG2EE. I think I have a few more off Xeno's list so I'll try to post those at some point, once I figure out where to post them to. I'm not a cloud person.
