MultiSH3 1.0 released

[SquareSteelBar]

Hi potoroo,

I just noticed that 'FileManager.dll' gets corrupted when accidently pressing the 'Save' button while the text bar is empty. After that SH3 and MissionEditor don't launch no more. So it should be recommended to backup 'FileManager.dll' before using 'MultiSH3'.

Is it possible to fix this little issue?

Great tool, though
Many THX,

SSB

Between 5 beta testers and myself we missed that. You'd think it hard to get something wrong in a program as simple as this one. Maybe I should code for Microsoft.

I've fixed it in v1.0.1. At the time of posting I've sent the new version to both SubSim and UBRS but the respective admins haven't had time to put it up yet.

Back it up? Just replace the corrupted copy with the original in the stock 1.4b installation.

You're right, of course. I've added a warning in the ReadMe. As a side note, in the worst-case scenario you can use WinZip to recover FileManager.dll from the Data1.cab file on your DVD, as it's never been patched by Ubisoft.

I'll consider adding an auto-backup for a later version but with this fix I don't consider it urgent.

Thanks for alerting me to this.

See your PM.

That's disappointing. I sent the update to Nick four days ago.

and I've no access to u-boot.realsimulation.com?

Why is that? You don't need to be registered anymore to download from UBRS.

Since terrapin's site was hacked I'm not able to get to UBRS no more. But some days
ago I got access for some hours and it worked without any problems. After these few hours it's impossible again. Don't know what's goin' on there.

Greetings,

Nothing has changed here. I really cannot know what's goin' on there - at your end of the cable...

Can you do a traceroute to UBRS?

Could you tell me what this is and how do it?

BTW: Upload to UBRS works without any probs.

UBRS has various servers - check wikipedia.org for traceroute...I really recommend to check this, too.

[SquareSteelBar]

Thanks, mate - I'll do that...

Did it already [I hope I got it right]:

- got many IPs for 'U-Boot.RealSimulation.com' and 'mpgtext.net' by tracerouting
- tried every IP
- result: no one works for me -> no access ["timeout - server doesn't answer"]

It's an enigma...

[SquareSteelBar]

Hi terrapin,

yesterday I tried the link that you posted 2 days ago in the 'new OFF face skin' thread.
What happened? I got access to that page!!! DL was impossible, though.

Today I tried that link again. Guess what happened?
Nothing - no access anymore.
Do you know the meaning of that?

I think someone is fooling me.

So long,
SSB

Can you traceroute to either 80.67.16.8 or 72.9.244.130? They are the host servers. They use aliasing to redirect the domain names to the respective servers so using http with those addresses won't resolve, but it's an important test. If you can traceroute to them then you have net connectivity to the servers and the problem lies higher in the protocol stack. If you can't the you have a more fundamental network problem. In fact, if you can't, please send me a copy of the traceroute via PM.

Nothing - no access anymore. Only this message:
"Connection failed: Access denied for user: (Using password: YES)"
Do you know the meaning of that?

No - the error message quoted above came from a severe database error lasting today for about 18 hrs... ...but now all is fine again from my POV

Could you please remove the 'db' part of your original post ASAP ? It *could* be of use for the 'dark side'...thx!
