AGS game uploads

AGA · Sat 27/08/2005 21:45:20

Hotspot has taken the http upload facility down for maintainance, it should be back up and working some time soon. Larger uploads over http are often troublesome though, so I've written a script to handle uploads via FTP, here are the details for you to put in your FTP client:

Server: americangirlscouts.org
Port: 2121
username: Your forum username
password: Your forum password

This will allow you to upload, list and delete your own files, and they'll be available at http://americangirlscouts.org/agsuploads/YourUsername
Your forum password is not stored in any way.

Limits:
You can upload mp3, ogg, mid, png, gif, jpg, exe, rar and zip files, up to 100mb. You should NOT use this as a general uploading service, it is mainly intended as a place where we can maintain stable links to games, but screenshots, stuff for critics lounge, and so on, are also ok. If you have problems with it PM me or post here with them, it's not been heavily tested yet (although it appears to work).

magintz · Sat 27/08/2005 22:10:44

Cool, I would say something more but I kind of need a demo or completed game to upload first ^_^

Mr Jake · Sat 27/08/2005 22:29:38

Its ugly in IE, I blame IE.

Gord10 · Sat 27/08/2005 22:56:29

Yay!

Thanks.

That's because you work in a browser that is supposedly perfect, and completely ignore IE, which most people still use. I'd be willing to try and fix the layout for IE, if I was provided with the css and the layout part of the source...

My page, if you compare to the Firefox version

Ozzie · Sat 27/08/2005 23:32:19

I think you should add .7z to the supported formats, well, because I often use it to pack files.
Nice, however, I just don't have anything to upload so far.

Mr Jake · Sun 28/08/2005 00:31:48

I do ish? Really? Thats why the rest of my sites work perfectly in IE? I just haven't gotten around to dummying the style sheet for IE yet.

I was joking on that one, k._.? Forgot to include smileys.

Whatever...

Mr Jake · Sun 28/08/2005 00:41:40

So was I! I was just defending my honour!

And explaining why it was, since thats what it will look like to anyone who uses the site in IE.

scotch · Sun 28/08/2005 01:00:52

If you want to use 7zip the best thing for everyone is to make it self extracting (exes are supported for upload), because only a tiny minority can extract that format.

edmundito · Sun 28/08/2005 01:40:31

Um, I just looked into the paths and there is no songo.rar uploaded. Are you sure it was successful?

There was probably a problem with the upload, I'll try again.
Thanks.

Mr Jake · Sun 28/08/2005 02:39:10

it will be www.americangirlscouts.org/agsuploads/files/FILENAME

Edit: Um, I just looked into the paths and there is no songo.rar uploaded. Are you sure it was successful?

fidodido · Sun 28/08/2005 03:07:07

I tried again. It was processing for a few minutes, and then just came back to THIS screen. It didn't give me the screen "YOU CAN FIND YOUR FILE HERE...", like it did when I tested a smaller file.

Corey · Sun 28/08/2005 08:09:50

Broadband.
It seems it uploaded an empty file though, because when I tried again it said file already exists but when I test-downloaded it , it was 0 kb.

Mr Jake · Sun 28/08/2005 10:14:25

Well I've deleted that file now, why its doing it I don't know, probably something to do with how something your end is set up, it uses HTTP which is beyond my control but I have no problems uploading to it, Ill have to check it out later after work.

Iago · Sat 24/09/2005 20:58:39

I made a 50 MB Game. It's in German. Can I upload it?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sat 24/09/2005 21:20:52

QuotePlease DO NOT use this page to upload anything except demos and complete games, or we will delete the file. There's currently a 25MB file-size limit, but this limit may be expanded under extenuating circumstances.

Yours is a game, so if you split it into 2 files there's no reason why you can't, I reckon.

But please please PLEASE, don't even bother unless you include an English translation.

GT · Sat 24/09/2005 23:12:52

I made a game last night in under three hours, I'm thinking of uploading it and maybe it could go in the joke section? Although, I'm not sure if it's good enough, even for the joke section?

Corey · Fri 21/10/2005 14:59:11

did you see what kind of lame games are in the joke section?? im sure it will be alright

And how are we supposed to upload? All I get is something that shows a "Parent directory" and a folder marked "Files". I can't do anything to them.

AGA · Tue 29/11/2005 01:12:19

Try again now, it ought to be fixed.

Ugh. Consider washing those shoes once in a while?

m0ds · Sat 31/12/2005 13:45:44

Just so you know, and as this is all about uploads etc - I'm happy to host any game that is no more than 10mb at screen7.co.uk (its pretty much the girlscouts webserver anyway

)

The game will be listed on the Screen 7 games page.

Just send your game to speilbergjnr at hotmail.com, zipped or raaaarr'd!
I will host bigger games, but you need to find a way of getting it to me other than through email

And, should you want to take up this offer & if you're feeling kind, feel free to include the Screen 7 splash at the start. You don't have too - but it helps affiliate your game with the website.

mwahahaha · Mon 16/01/2006 06:47:02

Odd, it's not working for me today.

It did the other day, but now it's not!

The reccuring message is:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function ftp_connect() in /home/ags/public_html/agsuploads/index.php on line 68"

The owners of the joint AGS server have (with the help of Hotspot) created a page for the uploading of completed and demo AGS games. Please DO NOT use this page to upload anything except demos and complete games, or we will delete the file. There's currently a 25MB file-size limit, but this limit may be expanded under extenuating circumstances. We'll see. As it is, upload your files, here.

That server doesn't work, i don't know whats going on!!!

strazer · Fri 10/02/2006 13:41:29

It's down at the moment. It will be back up soon.

JRock · Sat 11/02/2006 05:06:35

I tried to upload the .zip file of my game on the americangirlscouts upload server and it made me wait a while (like it WAS uploading), then nothing happened. it stayed on the upload screen.

Whats wrong? HELP!!!!

Elliott Hird · Sat 11/02/2006 12:23:57

It doesn't seem to be up anyway. Try my upload service (any filetype except PHP and CGI files, 1gb limit).

Mr Jake · Sat 11/02/2006 12:41:10

Its down whilst we move everything from the old, constantly melting, server to a shiny new server. Bare with us.

proximity · Thu 23/02/2006 14:40:00

is it possible to upload games higher than 25 MB by splitting into parts? My demo game seems to be 60-70 MB. Then, how can i give download link for parts in Games Page ? it only supports one link for download ?

Mugs · Mon 27/02/2006 02:03:21

Has it been fixed? I've uploaded a zip file and it's not working.

Steel Drummer · Tue 28/02/2006 01:03:11

Hey, i want to upload a demo of my Indiana jones game. How do I get a page for it (like a description of the game and stuff)? If you can put up the little page for me, the title should be "Indiana Jones and the Cloak of Elijah: Rough Draft Demo" the description should be "In 1937 he found the lost ark. In 1938, the Holy Grail. In 1939, Atlantis. Now, one year later, in 1940, he's at it again. Kingdom/OldSchool Film/Gameco proudly presents: INDIANA JONES AND THE CLOAK OF ELIJAH!!!! Four new characters, talkie (coming soon) and much, more. PS: The hand-made backgrounds in this game are going to be re-made."

Gilbert · Tue 28/02/2006 01:10:05

Just make a page using Geoshitties or whatever.

Steel Drummer · Tue 28/02/2006 01:16:03

Oops. The filename is INDY.ZIP just so you know.

Mugs · Wed 01/03/2006 02:05:58

I tried uploading the file many times, with different file names, and I get this "page cannot be found" message.

The only other thing I can think of is you haven't set the port right, note that AGS Uploads runs on port 2121, and not the default ftp port 21, which is what the owners use to upload to the server in general.

it has never worked for me either. i suggest trying something else.

Peder 🚀 · Fri 31/03/2006 21:41:50

It worked perfect for me until 27th of march... on the evening.
since then I havent been able to log in on the server..

scotch · Fri 31/03/2006 22:30:23

Seems someone restarted the server under a different user, so the file permissions are wrong, I'll try and fix it now..

Edit: I can't be bothered, linux permissions are too confusing. Maybe tomorrow.

HeirOfNorton · Mon 03/07/2006 02:36:08

Is the server up right now? I cannot for the life of me send anything.

I've made sure I'm on the right port and everything. I can log in. But when I try to send a file, it just says there's an "internal server error" and it won't send.

Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Nevermind. I'm not sure what was wrong, as I haven't done anything different, but it's working now. Probably just a little hiccough in the server.

AntmanJB · Thu 08/02/2007 03:57:44

Where do I upload my game to when I want to post it? (And how?)
Do I need to include all the images I used for my backgrounds, or are they contained somewhere in the game itself?
Thanks, I'll post my game as soon as the SpinLock module gets fixed. If you know about this, check the post in the Beginners' forum.
