Moved lots from the STEX

[sandrasim1]

If this is the wrong forum, please move it to the appropriate forum.

For the past two days I have been removing lots made by cerulean and ripptide from the STEX and replaced their files with redirects to the LEX. I have been asked to do it since both those members are AWOL and we wanted to give their brilliant work a new home. Now I have around 80 files to upload here so it may take some days before the file you are searching for will be available. Keep checking back and thanks for your patience.

Same thing is happening with Colyn's files and mine but it will take time to get them here. There may be some with old dependency lists for the time being too. Sorry but only so much can be done at any one time.

[sandrasim1]

I have now also removed gascooker's lots and the BSC version of the Amsterdam Central Station from the STEX. All of these lots will also be uploaded here but as Barby said, it will take some time so please stay patient while we continue our work to move and upload the files here.

I'm not a member of BSC, but i would like to say, that moving alot of older files from the stex to here is a great idea. it will indeed give new life to alot of creations thought to have been forgotton about. thank you and great job

[Une_ame]

   Oufff, I need the seawalls and I was afraid not been able to find them anymore....

Good luck for your new website.

[jplumbley]

This is very good... Mostly because you are updating the dependancy lists!!

Diggis and Vab are going to go spare 

Thanks for doing this Kristina and Barby...It's a great way to see what I missed amongst the haystack that is STEX.

[vab423]

I'm not sure what "go spare" means, but I'm hoping that it doesn't mean Diggis and I did all the work compiling and cross-checking and getting everything in one location for nothing.   

So when a user clicks on an STEX link to something that's been moved, is there any indication to where it's been relocated?  Is it just the lots that are being moved or the props/textures as well?

[Diggis]

Spare isn't the word for it..... 

What would be nice is if those creators who have access and are uploading the stuff to the BSCLEX could add the links into the registry at Pegs and, if you are removing the file completly from STEX, remove that link too.

[BarbyW]

Only lots are being moved from the STEX, diggis and vab. The dependency packs are still there and wil stay there for the foreseeable future.

[vab423]

Thanks Barby.  For a moment in time, I saw a great collaborative effort go down in flames, and thought mine and Diggis' bleeding eyeballs were for naught.

[Colyn]

Well VAB we did post REDIRECT links in the moved lots but the infinite wize ST MODS started deleting my files.  #?¿?¿?$

[jeronij]

I have moved ALL my files, including the few dependency packages, to the LEX. I am in the process of creating a new prop-pack which includes some of my industrial props and will also upload it to the LEX.
I didnt realize that they were linked from other sites.... I apologize for the inconveniences...

Sounds to me as though the ST mods are feeling a might bit...... jealous?..... threatened?

Anyways, I cant wait till all the stuff has been re-uploaded.  It will be much easier for me to see what I could have had from the past that I missed in the abyss of STEX.

The lots by gascooker, ripptide and cerulean that I managed to rescue before my stex mod powers were cut off today have also been removed from the STEX. I just think they are behaving like stupid kids.

[M4346]

Yes, I think their behaviour is childish and utterly unacceptable, not to mention not befitting to a mod. But oh well, such is life, and I am thankful that you could manage to rescue them beforehand.

In the end look at it this way - it's their loss, not yours (ours?) They are losing the amazing content.

Indeed, I've already discovered some of Jeroni's gems that I never knew existed (the plop rocks and culverts are just what I was looking for)....no doubt I'll come across a whole load more in the next few days/weeks.

As for ST, it's completely their loss and a loss of their own making...but we shall not speak of dinosaurs when a whole new adventure is ahead.

[dedgren]

Yeah, really, Lee- I agree.

In any event, let's stick to facts about what's going on at ST (which appear, on their own, to be bad enough) and hold opinions off public threads.

Here are my gascooker



and cerulean files



DL'd off the STEX

(shades of last year's Marrast situation, eh, Barby?)

If any of them are needed, let me know.

Note that the cerulean files with the "X" in front, despite repeated DL's, always came in corrupted.  I don't know if there's any way to rescue them, but I kept them just in case.

[sandrasim1]

Thanks for the offer David, but I have managed to download them all complete with images and descriptions as well. Those that have an X in front of them have also came in corrupted when I tried to download them. They were corrupted during an update on the STEX a few years ago. I don't know if there is a way to rescue them. Maybe someone has working files that were downloaded before the STEX update.

[jplumbley]

To be honest... I am not 100% sure since I am at work right now.  I might have some of those corrupted cerulean files.

Chamblade Insurance Building, Salloya Shipping Tower, Nascrussa Plaza, Polamile Commerce Center all come to mind when looking at them.  I can check later when I get home, but for all I know they could be corrupted too.
