Hey,

don't know if it's just me, but it seems like the mission downloads in-game are pretty slow since some time. Is it maybe the server? Or does version 2.03 have to do with it? Or is it just me maybe? Tbh, i haven't really checked the file sizes of the respective missions, but it seems pretty slow generally lately. Downloading Sir Tablot's Collateral atm, and it took like 5 minutes to be up to 17%.

Edit: Just finished the download. About 25 minutes. Can't be really.

Looking at the mirrors of a few FMs, it seems none of them use my server anymore. It is fast and has enough bandwith, and enough storage. So, if there is interest, I can easily provide another mirror.

 

Is there somewhere a full list of FM download locations, so I can mirror them over to my server directly?

Can you drop me and Taaaki a PM with the details.

I don't think the in-game mission downloader uses weighting at all, so it just randomly picks one of the mirrors. And for missions, I think we only have 3 mirrors (2 of which are my servers). I can't remember too well, but you might be able to see which mirror is being used in the console.

I am the bat. The night is mine.

Good news: http://swift-mazes.com/was added as a mirror for most (except the largest) FMs, so the ingame-downloader should now be a bit faster, depending on which content you are and which mirror it picks.

 

Maybe weighting and "multi-mirror download" can be added later.

You can update the copyright thingy in the bottom to 2015 by the way.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.
