Marburg Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 maybe he tried to log on when somebody was attempting to repair the database or after a backup failed. Link to comment

Marburg Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 For anyone who doesn't know yet: the Modsgarden site is back up again. C U there 1 Link to comment
hdiddy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 And the Garden is down. I guess a good time for me to upload some more content here. Link to comment
Mr_Smoke Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 At this pace, MG is going down on a monthly basis. It would benefit to have modders post their stuff here and/or to have them do a dual post (one here and one in MG). 1 Link to comment
pes1972 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yes, it´s really disturbing that the admins we can reach have no clue why the site goes down every month now and seems to have no contact with the one responsible for the site. Link to comment
Marburg Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 They do have a clue. The database is corrupted and the software is outdated. As far as i know the lone site admin has other obligations and no time to really fix things at the moment. I think maybe we should move to a new site and make a fresh start. The Garden is a mess with no clear structure and too much "dead wood" 1 Link to comment
pes1972 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Either that or the lone site admin could also let someone in that have time and can fix it 1 Link to comment

Oz70NYC Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yea...I think I'm gonna hang around here a bit more. Link to comment
synfinity Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Question: Finally got new PC, only to find the Garden down again. I can't remember, but isn't all you need the core vX installer and latest patch? Link to comment

He basically removed some catgor9 he doesn't used and slimmed down the interface. I like it but I had to go back into his script and add things I needed back. So all should be aware of that.

Marburg Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 People should be wary of repacks in general. As one user put it: you inherit someone else's solutions to his problems. But there's another important reason IMHO: if you don't get to know the structure of the program folders and how they all work together you are never going to get the most out of this game. The initial learning curve pays off in the longer run. 1 Link to comment

The initial learning curve pays off in the longer run. Agreed. It's time consuming...and a bit of a pain in the ass at 1st. But once you get the hang of it, you can streamline your installation paths and have complete control. I have shortcuts to my addons, activemod, binaries, pose and logs folders on my taskbar. So I can just go right where I need to go to install or remove a file. Plus I have all files organized by the date they were achieved in those folders. So if ever I come across a file that causes an error, I can just find it by the date I added it and get rid of it. Link to comment
Marburg Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Absolutely! I have a similar setup, with shortcuts to important locations and this repeated for several installs like ""test"and "development" You can wake me up in the middle of the night and i can tell you in which folder a room texture file should be located But maybe that's just me... i always want to find out what makes the clock tick. And then ruin it LOL Link to comment

And then ruin it LOL Definitely agree here...after running a rather messy install of VX Beta decided to organize things a bit better down to the naming of textures. Biggest thing I did was named texture folders similar to the add-on they are tied to so I can easily move crap around. Link to comment
Daspex Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Same here.I also have shortcuts to the important locations and fnal/ test game installs.:) Link to comment

bogbrush Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Dead for me too and redirecting to ali-express Who is the site admin and anyone have any news? I'd be happy to set up a forum and have experience running one, just too busy this month. As people have said modgarden has become a bit of a disorganised mess with no clear structure, conflicting mods being posted in different parts of the board and a hopeless search function.
