Public FTP is full...

It is now impossible to put new files on the PA! Public FTP because it's full, so it needs to be cleaned up. There are a lot of files there that seem like they could safely be removed, but I'm not going to do so myself. I'm no webmaster, moderator or anything of the like, so I don't think I should do that. Instead, I thought it might be a good idea to ask which files could be removed.

<i>Filelist (with my comments about whether it might be removed or not):</i>
Addon_A&M - Translation files; maybe should remain on the FTP
b12german - Only a readme in there. What's this for?
cccXperimentMods - Already in the post Build 12 modpack; maybe this can be removed?
Depp - Better Jack Sparrow skin; maybe this could also be removed?
DialogMerge by Scheffnow - Should remain
Draksen's Mod Installer 3.41 - Might not be nescessary anymore
Hu_Kwan_Do's_sword_artwork - Don't know what this is
MAXIMUS - Empty folder???
Music converters - What's that? Seems like the files from an audio CD were uploaded there. Let me tell you: That doesn't work. There's no music in there. You should rip the audio CD; then you get files you could upload. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
SWAKnStormyStart - Already in the post Build 12 modpack
BuildSettings.h - What's that doing there?
test.txt - Empty file?
.mailboxlist, Drafts, Sent Items, Trash - The FTP isn't a mailserver, is it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
tut_deck_l.gm - Is that CCC's modified tut deck? That's already in the Captain's Challenge mods
possible Build 12 fix.zip - What's that? We already merged all fixes into the post b12 modpack, didn't we?
Keywords.c - ???
New a&M iterface file.zip - What's that? Is that useful? If so: Maybe move it into an A&M (SLiB now) subfolder?
B12_5_List.rtf - What's that? Meigger's tutorial?
Init_pc.c - <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Korsary.zip - Something A&M, right? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />
pirates_rpg.rar - ???
Cow.zip - LOL. That should remain there, shouldn't it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
RUSSIAN.zip - ???
JMV575 Mil Skins Code for Build 12.zip - Maybe should remain
DialogEdit.exe - That's a useful program, isn't it?
Animist fix 2.rar - In the post b12 modpack
quests_texts.txt - ???

I stop here. Obviously, much cleaning up needs to be done. Does everyone agree that most files that are already in the post Build 12 modpack can be safely removed?

Anyway: Please post here about what you think can/can't be removed. I hope this will soon be cleaned up, so we can use the FTP again. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Hi Pieter.

There is a large file named "lobo" or "hobo" ( or something like that, i don't know 'cause i can't get trhough no longer) that is a PotC program and concerned about my request to Keith long time ago, "starting game with three ships". Now is useless and it can be deleted as well.

Thanks and regards Pieter

Ah. I had been wondering about that file, yes. I removed that file now, together with all the empty files and apparent mailserver files.

BTW: Would everyone be OK with me attempting to clean up the FTP? Is everyone OK with me removing everything that is already in the post Build 12 modpack? Or should these files remain available for people wanting to add it on top of Build 12?

It might also be a good idea to categorize the FTP. Now, it's just a mess. How about adding character skins to one folder, ship skins to another. And how about replacing the current (sometimes unclear) filenames with clear descriptive ones?

Of course, I am not wanting to tread on anyone's feet by trying to clean up the FTP while I might not really have the authority to do so. So please tell me what I would and wouldn't be allowed to do... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Pieter, I don't know what the B12_5 list.rtf is. As far as I know, nothing about the manual or guide has been placed on the FTP. The manual is almost ready for posting, but the strategy guide will not be ready until Build 13 is released.
 
I was going to clean out all my files <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
But it looks like it's already done...there are no files there! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Right you are, Petros. The entire FTP is empty. That's a much more thorough cleaning up than I was planning to do. Ah... Well... At least it <i>is</i> clean now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

And uploading does work again too. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
no he means that the ftp is empty <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> and if nobody saved all the files, they are all gone. but surely someone saved them <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

ftp -> empty -> not full -> space for upload
 
Try this link, matey. It's the one I've been using.

<a href="ftp://files%40piratesahoy.net:piratesahoy...iratesahoy.net/" target="_blank">ftp://files%40piratesahoy.net:piratesahoy...iratesahoy.net/</a>

Cheers <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
The FTP is almost completely empty now. It is possible to upload files there again, though. I don't know what files should've been saved. I know I have several files, but not all of them. Which files would you want back on the FTP? I can have a look and see what I still have. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Cheers for the link mate <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> , if everything is covered in your mod packs Pieter then i dont know what there is what else have you tucked away
 
youre right. the build is on the pa homepage and postbuild is at pieters site. so we wont miss a thing <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
There were several SLiB (A&M) files, as well as a 3D cow model and some other stuff I can't quite remember... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Ah yes, the cow made by Zozogh... Dunno if he'll ever come back to finish it, tho.
