Title: Backup download locations for files?
Post by: Elaugaufein on 2013-06-09 06:29:52

Its been a while since I've been here, and came back to check up on some stuff. I've noticed a lot of broken links on the wiki and in the mods threads. Is there a new backup hosting location I missed ?

If not does anyone have FF8 Launcher 1.31  and the 1.4 version ? Or Chole , the chocobo world save editor.

Also what about the FF8 official UK patches  ? I think I found both the Geforce and non-Geforce US ones.

Thanks

This is a problem that's been developing for a few months now.

There are quite a few old, abandoned tools that haven't been fully deprecated or replaced by newer projects. The problem is that we can't really redistribute other peoples' work without their permission, or at least some implicit indication that they're happy with mirroring.

As a compromise, what I can do is start mirroring the files on my own site, but IM / email the authors of those tools confirming permission. It's not a great solution - it's still quite intrusive and presumptuous to start redistributing stuff - but it's better than nothing.

I've managed to track down a copy of Chole and upload it here (http://'http://www.breck-mckye.com/final-fantasy-modding/Ficedula-Mirror/chole100.zip'), but I cannot find any mirrors for the FF8 Launcher - the author put the files on RapidShare, which doesn't archive old uploads. Still, I will email the author and see if he can provide us a new copy.

Other than that, I suggest IMing the authors of any particular tools you're looking for, or checking out any personal websites that they link to in their profile (see the globe icon underneath their avatar).
