resource.armagetronad.net is down

Post by dukevin »

The default square map located at: http://resource.armagetronad.net/resour ... .aamap.xml
has been offline for about a week. Some of the servers aren't booting because of it. Any word when it might be up again?

Another side effect is that we cannot change maps if we don't have the corresponding cfg in our resource.
The server crashes when switching maps.

Code: Select all

[0] Resource rxfreaks/paintball/classic-1.cfg not found in cache. Downloading it, please be patient...
[0] Downloading http://rxtron.com/aa/resource/rxfreaks/paintball/classic-1.cfg .
..
[0] ERROR: Return value 404 : File not found.
[0] Downloading http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/rxfreaks/paintball/classic-1.cfg ...
error : Operation in progress
error : Operation in progress
[0] ERROR: Impossible to reach host of URI http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/rxfreaks/shoot/paintball-10.cfg. This may be caused by a DNS resolving issue, please report to http://forums.armagetronad.net/ if this happens with the main resource repository(http://resource.armagetronad.net/resource/).
Then the server crashes.

A workaround is to make empty cfgs for every map you plan on rotating but can there be a setting to turn off cfg loading for maps, even if the resource does come back online?

You could use the .htaccess file to return empty files rather than a 404. It works, but it has a shitty side effect. If you really do upload that file, you're going to have people who already have it cached as an empty file and they won't download the new one. Well, in this case the server caches it, but same issue. Manually delete them if that time comes.

Bump, this is important!

All the official resource repository (resource.armagetronad.net) mirrors/hosts seems to be down.
(Luke-jr's: can't reach server; wrtlprnft's and Z-man's: 404 "The requested URL /resource/ was not found on this server". Those are the mirrors I found)
Can someone fix it/theirs/anything? Or provide all the files of the official repo to be rehosted somewhere? (at ct's, light's, or trontimes' repos for example)

In the meantime I have attached a current v0.4's resource/included (supplied maps) folder, and the resource/automatic (downloaded maps) folder I've saved up over the years, in case someone needs it to host or join a server. It's not a full copy of the repository since I've not played in every server on every map ever, though it should be enough for many cases.
CT's repository seems to be a nearly complete copy already (probably an old copy plus whatever they came up with), so RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_SERVER http://crazy-tronners.com/resource/ and/or RESOURCE_REPOSITORY_CLIENT http://crazy-tronners.com/resource/ might do it on many occasions on old stuff. (not with the paintball example above though :().

I semi have a solution. I had a resource that pulled from other resources on my server, well it's still there but wasn't really used. An example .. one I know is on CT's.

http://lightron.org/resources/?item=Dra ... .aamap.xml

But, now my internet is too slow to poll from all them resources at the same time. Sad day for me. I mean, it works .. but it takes too long. On faster network, it's quick as it gets them all at the same time rather than waiting for one after the other.

Duke, maybe you'd like to host it?

Can't say I'm surprised, the main resource repo was apparently on Lightfoot, which I recently shutdown due to customers' non-payment.

I've uploaded the final state from my backup to http://luke.dashjr.org/tmp/code/aaresou ... 141106.txz

dlh knows how to reach me if any of the old scripts/etc are needed.

Thanks. I've added them all to my resource.

resource.armagetronad.net still being down and lightron's mirror being temporarily down, I'm also hosting a mirror at http://rxtron.com/aa/resource/ But this is still a major problem as new servers cannot download the default square map without owners knowing how to find a mirror and add it to their cfgs.
I'd also like to offer that resource.armagetronad.net be hosted on my VPS, which is always online and hasn't had any down time in years. If I ever become unreachable, Light has shell access so he would be able to maintain it, but I don't think this will be a problem. Server specs are 512MB XEN virtualization 2 vCPU 500GB disk which is enough to handle load. Anyone with access to the domain can get in touch with me.

dukevin, it seems as though maybe you have a partial copy of the resource? I know I have a folder on the arma resource and it's not presently included in your resource browser. Maybe an incomplete copy of some sort

I uploaded what vov posted, I'll upload Luke's backup soon. In the future, if I am able to host the official repository, I'll let anyone upload maps using their @forums login.

Who is the owner of armagetronad.net?
Wouldn't it make sence to point resource.armagetronad.net to one of the new repos?
