TSR's Corrupted Files

[raynuss]

It seems back in September, TSR's server went wacko and corrupted a lot of the files on the site.  This was discovered, of course, by members who downloaded the files and had their game crash and notified the respective TSR creator.  Most of the files have been since fixed at TSR.  The problem is that the booty here still contains the original fiiles and they WILL crash your game.  I've download at least six of these corrupted files from the booty in the last 2 months.  I just wanted to warn anyone downloading files from the TSR booty, in particular files by MSBarrows, Cyclonesue and Simaddict99 that you may have gotten corrupt files.

Thanks for the information, but Ray you should contact Hec about this. Even then I do think it would be in vain, because not a lot of those creators bothered to update their items anyways. Just PM Hec and see if a true issue.

This is an issue I have heard about, but nobody has ever supplied a conclusive and reliable list of what exactly is broken.

I know that the Vegas Lights Set, by cyclone I think, are the bad ones.  She claimed they were crashing peoples game and the set I got from the booty caused my game to crash.  I just got rid of them since they werent that important to me.  I dont know about any more.

Why should I not be so surprised that corrupt files came from a site that's corrupt itself?! Unfortunately, that stinks for your game... but what can you expect, it's TSR, little corrupt TSR, sharing your info, etc.

'Tis true. They crashed my game and I lost my entire lot.

They are fixed there but not here.

Sounds logical.I was trying to download something from TSR other day, a free file and I got a corrupted one. It took me ages to download that thing and ended as a game crasher. Seems to me an old problem.

A while ago, I had to take out several TSR free files from TabbyLu (?). They were crashing the game at the load screen. I just stopped going there figuring they can't even get the basics right anymore.

[Paden]

T$R, doin the basics WRONG!

Corrupted files from TSR is nothing new for me. When my game crashes, that's the first place I look... Although, there was a period when it seemed more files than what has been mentioned were corrupted. I just put em out. It's not like I'm gonna die without them.

(SimAddict99) SA99 Tiki files (superset, add-on, kitchen add-on, mini add-on, the nursery set), overhead kitchen cabinets, the end tables, the blinds/curtains, everything in the nursery file, coffee table, and the armoire/dresser.

It affected all the .zip or .rar files, no matter which one I downloaded or re-downloaded. 


edited for clarity
(SA99 has a post about the TIKI files in particular on her site, and said the problem was from server issues in the past and was corrected, and blamed it on "files shared illegally," her quote) which I found amusing that she would word in that way, since paysites are illegal.

My apologies if anyone thought I meant to insult the wonderful work done here by all.

[Paden]

And this is supposed to amuse us how? First off, our files aren't illegal. Selling them is illegal. Read the arguments. Also, they were paid for despite it being illegal to sell them, we just share them around and trim the fuck out of the profit margin for the assholes. You find it amusing that the files we have are corrupted? Then you're in the wrong place. We're here to stick it to the paysites, not the poor fools that think pay garbage is better. Gah, go have some coffee and figure out if you're here to help or be a toad. If you're here to help, pass the rum. If you're here to be a toad, hop on out the door.

[badcyn]

I will pass the rum.

My apologies if my meaning wasn't clear.  I thought it was amusing, in a sarcastic way, that SA99 posted that in her blog, because I agree with you Paden.  I in no way meant to insult this forum.
