    Locutus,

    If anything could you give the argument a shot. I think they just want baner access to your website. Or if its a problem how hard is it to open up several websites? I'll see if my simple skills can do anything.

      If all else fails, we just need a front page that will link to every single download on a network of sites. At least four of us have sites, we can link to Apolyton and even if you keep the Spaceports on with the original 20 megs, it'll fit everything apart from the Civ3 graphics, which we can rotate, as soon as they're sprites. The depot need not be more than a links directory.

        E,
        Somehow I feel telling them I need 50+ meg extra to upload some Civ3 files (which is basically file-storage, not website creation) won't do us much good. In fact, if it does anything, it'll get the account closed, I'm afraid.

        Don't worry worry though, plenty of other servers out there. For now I'm focussing one 100 meg limit sites as those are far easier to come by: that will allow you to upload your Civ3 files (at keep them there as long as needed) and still give us plenty of space for smaller mods, attachments and a website. I could even set up 2 accounts at the same server if we run out of space, I have more email addresses than you can shake a stick at anyway...
        I already had such a site set up earlier this evening but it has tons of pop-ups (I kept clicking away the actual site along with the pop-ups, that ain't gonna attract many visitors! ) and it's currently doing really weird things with my password, can't even log in anymore at the moment. I think I'll simply get yet another account at a different server tomorrow...

          (I'm not sure where to post this so I'll post it here)
          FYI, I'm gonna attempt to upgrade my Internet connection today (ISDN -> Cable), it's possible that this will take a few days (one time it took me 3 months to recover from an 'upgrade', hopefully it won't take me quite that long this time ), during which I can't be online. (Well, if I have time I'll be online from Uni but I can't do much more than post in the forums from there).

            Assimilation 100% completed

            Drone has been linked to the Collective

            Bandwidth and financial restrictions have been lifted




            Woohoo! I finally got everything working properly (I bet you didn't even notice I wasn't behind my own pc the last few days ) I can now be on Apolyton even more often (no more phone bills!) and can down/upload files at much greater speed

            You're never gonna get rid of me now...

              *Sigh* After waiting for almost a week I finally got my account at Crosswinds confirmed (which offers unlimited diskspace)...have I forgotten my password If last time was any indication it's gonna take at least 3 days before they send it to me but in the meantime, it's possible to use a different site I set up: http://ctpmodmakers.0catch.com/ (FTP: www.0catch.com, username: ctpmodmakers.0catch.com, password bl00drun). It has a limit of 100 MB though...

                I won't rush to put all the Civ3 graphics up there. ANd I think only a few people are working on them anyways (Martin and Big MC; anyone else?)

                If anything, if those guys are interested I'll post what you request. You can find the list of all the units in the INI zip.

                either post requests here or email me at ekmek@angelfire.com

                  I would be intested in any Civ3 graphics that are in standard format (i.e. gif or bmp or whatever, but not bic). Those might come in handy for modpacks or whatever some time (I borrowed my copy of Civ3 from someone but didn't have enough time to find and copy all the useful stuff to my HD - which was practically full at the time anyway). I don't care for the bics as I don't have the software to view them (and can't spare enough space to install it).

                      What exactly do you mean by 'have everything'?

                          Ok so I was the sad bloke uploading files at quarter to 7 this morning.

                          I haven't had time to set up a Tigger folder to put the Habsburg.zip file in and my system at work won't let me do it because it denies me access from the website. So can some kind hearted soul please create a folder on the 0catch site called Tigger and past my file into it. The file is currently here ; http://ctpmodmakers.0catch.com/Datab...2/Habsburg.zip

                          Later today I'll post details about the scenario but I must get some work done!
