Havent seen a game yet that doesnt have problems and whos maker hasnt bailed on them, but they dont bail because of the problems they bail because the game has made them as much as it is going to.

No Kaz!  I uninstallled OP4+, re-installed OP 4+, then D/L the Forge 3rd Ed scripts from the first post in that stickie, made sure I saved it as ForgeOriginal.exe so it wouldn't ovewrite, ran the .exe and I got on the Forge Server and The Boneyard.  I was amazed (usually I screw it up).

...so tired of the old forge i just couldnt bring myself to take HoT off...

Can't blame you there, we ran that as it was for way too long (though the time saved on campaign design was well spent on the oci and server debugging). A fresh set of hands on The Forge is just what it needed. Just be patient and give the boys some time to work out the kinks, I think they have a good thing going here and figuring it all out is no easy task. I'll see if I can lend a hand to find the problem to get things rolling again on the new server before I have to go back to work next week.

Im back!! Im back!
Gosh, naturally the Forge decides to crash when Im gone *sighs* just my luck *grumbles*

Sorry for the crash and burn guys, now tomorrow I'll be busy at school till my usual time, but I will get to work on this ASAP.. glad I turned on error logging.. should make things a bit easier to understand what went wrong. Not sure of details yet as I just sat down and havent turned on my remote desktop yet, so Im not sure how long it will take, and I would like to figure out the problem before I bring it back up, or a reseted Hammer of Thor as well.. so..
Keep checking back for updates on my progress... and lets hope I manage to find that .00001% chance of salvaging it..
Finally my apologies for it going down.. for those few hex flipers, enjoy the regular forge, and for those waiting for HoT to come back up, well you'll have a few days off.. I will try to get it back up ASAP :)

Your peliminary damage report #0048-2836:
Well well well.. DB is a bit of a mess, but I will see if I can save anything...
Has to do with the shiplist, it appears that its slowly been throwing the DB out of wack, so I also have the old SG6 SFB shiplist, so I'm gonna use it and compare it to the current SFB shiplist to see what the prob is and all the inconsistanties, so basically I need to reconstruct part of the shiplist to SFB standards(appears there are a few parts in error), so I need a day or two to go through and straighten all the balls of steel to fine strips we need.. I will keep you all updated

EST till Server coming back up(wether it starts off fresh or not) : 3 or 4 days

:)

Oh, btw everyone, go ahead and get a nice fresh Forge install going(setup to just the STOCK forge, as I will be updating the SFB shiplist fixing a few errors, everyone will need to redownload thescripts2 once Ive finished fixing it, so if you want to be able to install it on the dime then do up to step 4 on the install instructions from the first post :)

Well its coming along slowly. Probably just a few more days.. I want to see if there is anything I can salavge from the DB, and fix the shiplist better.. also have to re-do a few files/settings so it doesnt crash this time.
Check the first post in this thread for status, and once I get the shiplist fix, the links to DL the files from.

Made some good progress these last 2 days.. the goal of having it back up within the week should be met :D

Now.. I need your opinion on this..
I wont be able to save the tables, which means usually a fresh start, HOWEVER,
I am willing to do this:
A) If you want a full redo, then I will be glad to just put it right back up once I get the corrected files in a DL ready etc.
B) I can set the map to what it is before crash, but you all can start on new chars
C) I can set the map to what it is before crash, and after I carefull record all your stats from the OCI, as you create the same chars, spend a few hours each day for a bit setting you back to the same ship, prestige, etc so you basically start as if the server never crashed.

Let me know before Im ready to bring it back up in a few days :)

IMOHPO...

A fresh start will be fine.
Considering the short length of time it was up and it's relatively small player base.

Of course, if there are objections, I will go with whatever is decided.

I imagine a fresh start will be a 'ellva lot less work to set up, too.  ;)

Option A or B(only 35 seconds of extra work :) ) isnt that much work at all, its option C that would be a pain, but Im willing to do it if the majority want.

B ..some players have ran alot of missions,and if it only takes 35 seconds longer than A,we maybe able to hang on to some of the newbies,or old time players that have came back because of OCI.my 2 cents.

Either A or B is fine here.

I dont want you to have to redo all that work, as you have done more than enough.  Thanks.
