Broken Downloads
« on: 04 Nov 2003, 09:12:59 »
Hi all :wave:

It seems that I've been running into a lot of broken downloads at OFPEC, such as in the script snippets or function library. What's the dilly-O? Why are there so many broken links? And what should be done about them? Maybe there should be a broken downloads thread, where (obviously) broken links and d/l's can be posted so that the good editor's depot staff can possibly fix them? Or maybe I should stop asking so many questions?

General Baron,

Thx for bringing up this problem. Since its one that we can definitely fix within OFPEC we would welcome it if you could post examples in this thread (along with anyone else who finds any), and we will gladly jump on the broken links to get them amended.

Regards,
Noon

I have an example:

I just tried to download the "CutInArray.sqf" file from the functions library.  I only got part of the file:

Code: [Select]

private ["_x", "_Array", "_N", "_i", "_TempArray","_Temp"];

_x =  _this select 0;
_Array = _this select 1;

_TempArray = [];
_N = count _Array;
_i = 0;
while {_i

That's all I got.

Thanks

I had a go at this one deaddog.

I downloaded it ok.....I think.

This is what I got.

private ["_x", "_Array", "_N", "_i", "_TempArray","_Temp"];

_x =  _this select 0;
_Array = _this select 1;

_TempArray = [];
_N = count _Array;
_i = 0;
while {_i < _N}
do
   {
   _temp = _Array select _i;
      if (_i != _x) then {_tempArray set [count _tempArray, _temp ]};
   _i = _i + 1;
   };
_Array = _Temparray;

_Array

Yes this happens frequently. The server seems to be just "giving up" on transfers. I think this may be what is causing people's weird problems with the Ed Depot menus not loading correctly sometimes.

Edit to clarify, it's not a 'broken link' problem. It's a 'broken transfer' problem.

Edit-Edit Of course if you do run accross a 'real' broken link, please report it!!
