Belgarath and twitek both have full access in the /GameBase Amiga 2/ folder, FYI

thanks for this unknown also for me info
and for all the constant work on the ftp

i have used an i'm still using it a lot in these last two years,
it's helping me a lot

Belgarath · 29 December 2022, 21:32

As I've no idea what changes were made for 2.3, it definitely is not official, especially if there are things missing?

I might go through at some point and check, and maybe make a final "official" version, but don't hold your breath.

TCD · 30 December 2022, 08:03

Thank you for the answer Belg

Maybe somebody else could make a list of the missing files?

for my experience, mostly SPS files, multidisk;
i don't know if this is search example could help, but look ie searching for Heimdall :

http://ftp.grandis.nu/eabsearch/sear...0&httplinks=on

seems some Heimdall2 and Heimdall2 AGA SPS disks are missing from the GB2.3 ?

Turran · 30 December 2022, 11:07

There is a lot of dupes in GameBase Amiga 2.1 and 2.3. Only small changes in 2.3 according to DamienD so I suggest we kill off 2.3 unless someone takes responsibility for it. Then we can see if Mr Belgarath makes an final version sometime in the future.

That'll save ~20GB seeing as there is a .zip of the entire 2.3 as well. I'm not too keen on unofficial updates, unless its a just a diff between the old and new AND has an owner attached to it.

Thoughts?

I would also say that keeping only the actual update part of 2.3 (new files) as a diff would be the way to go then.

Turran · 30 December 2022, 13:40

Here is a diff I ran. Looks OK?

http://ftp2.grandis.nu/downloads/diff.txt

TCD · 30 December 2022, 13:59

Just had a quick look and to me it looks good. So the plan would be to make a 'Only in Amiga 2.3' archive and keep 2.1?

Turran · 30 December 2022, 14:58

Sounds good, yes. Will you or do you want me to script it?

TCD · 30 December 2022, 15:01

I think a script on the server makes more sense than downloading the lot and doing it locally

Turran · 30 December 2022, 15:32

Done. I created an "Unoffical_Update" folder containing only the new files from 2.3.
Also added an Amiga_2.3.txt file listing the deleted files.

TCD · 30 December 2022, 15:35

Nice

If nobody else has an opinion on this I'll start cleaning up TheZone starting next week.

TCD · 04 January 2023, 13:34

Collection/Scans/Manuals both Applications and Games have been cleaned up.

TCD · 06 January 2023, 08:23

Hardware manuals and books are cleaned up too. Slowly getting towards the end.

TCD · 11 January 2023, 08:19

I could use some help

There are a few CU Amiga supplement issues in http://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Co...es/CU%20Amiga/ that I'm quite sure are already in http://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/TO...%20CU%20Amiga/
Matching them isn't that hard, but it takes time. If somebody would be willing to check those 14 PDFs and match them with the TOSEC-PIX folder it would be appreciated.

It seems that files in http://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP/Co...es/CU%20Amiga/ all are NON TOSEC.

TCD · 11 January 2023, 17:46

I know. I was just wondering if they have the same content like one of the TOSEC-PIX magazines.

TCD · 14 January 2023, 15:26

Have to share this here...

'Collection/Compilation/Fred_TheGang_2014_Amiga_Collection/Amiga - Not TOSEC/Demos - DMS' contained 291 DMS files. After converting them to ADF 4 files remained that couldn't be converted to ADF. That makes 287 ADF files. Out of those only 1 (one) wasn't in TOSEC.
