I've been playing MegaGlest for a few years now and I almost got every faction, however, even after all this time there are still some that are offline.
If anyone has these please reupload them, sorry if this is how my first post went but I didn't see anyone else asking.
Animal Cruelty (Please, I've been watching this one offline for years)
Mars 2080 (Looks cool, downed links are not)
another Steampunk (Looks really nice, too bad the links are down)
Storm Ravens Clan (Passworded; what is the password?)
Orcs (offline for a very long time, again)
Goblins (I donno if this was released, all I know is it's got broken links)
Camelot (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=3854.0)
Would greatly appreciate these, I'm sure others would too.

Hmm.... I only have Storm Ravens Clan, but it was very unfinished when I tested it and it's not playable (some resources can't be harvested) so there's much point uploading it.
I think it's a similar case for the other ones/ the devs didn't upload them cos they felt they were too unfinished.
-
....which is a shame IMO, since if work went into it, and it was meant to be made available to the general community, then those parts which were done would still have been a great contribution, and one others could evolve from (which IMO makes complete sense if you stop working on something).
That's one of the (admittedly many) reasons why open source software developers often make their creations available in public repositories from the very start. (Of course, there is also proprietary software which remains proprietary forever, and proprietary software which becomes open source only much later). If they ever stop developing it (and the licensing terms they chose and declared permit it) others can just fork it and make it become something great in the end (with original copyrights and / or credits retained). To me, that's a great way to make your work last (even if you decide to drive it further on your own).

Mars 2080 is still up on Moddb: http://www.moddb.com/games/2080-mars/downloads/2080-mars

how about asking wciow in this thread ?: https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=8559.0

Mars 2080 is still up on Moddb: http://www.moddb.com/games/2080-mars/downloads/2080-mars
The link is member only/down, can this please be re-uploaded else where?
As for storm ravens being incomplete, it's not my priority, the one I really wanna get is Animal Cruelty.
-
For Mars 2080 click on the littel word "mirrors" on top and choose a free one, this will work. I was able to download it there.
About animal cruelity, try to contact user ultifd , this was a quite reliable guy when he was active, so there might be a chance.
-
Sweet got it, now what about the other mods I requested (I sent the message to that guy for Animal Cruelty)
-
Camelot is long gone. Archmage has been inactive long enough to make most his modifications now out-of-reach. He created the best high-quality models, and now, we don't even have an active modeler/developer at this moment.
-
Can you give a link to the related forum thread for each faction you are looking for ?
Looks like I still have goblin. I will upload it soon.
As far as I remember orcs were really not that good and in a very "alpha" state.
... and btw what about your skills, can you maybe help us refit one of those factions ? ( just xml editing of course )
UPDATE: here is goblins http://titi.megaglest.org/techs/
-
Anothersteampunk I just posted in, so it's in front.
I've tinkered around with the game and understand XML, but I'm no modeler, I only re-skinned stuff.
I've been recently coming back to megaglest, as I found a friend to play it with and have been compiling every faction I can get into the MegaPack with exception to the Vbros stuff (41 factions ATM)
This isn't and won't be publicly released because i want to public distribute other peoples stuff; this was only meant for my friends.

Found another one with a missing/down link:
anyone have Tiger's China faction? I can't find the link on softhaus. (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=4350.25)
I know we got The_Great_Ming and Warlords, but still, more is better ;D
-
"Download does not exist" if you click: http://soft-haus.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=13
But try this link (old China faction): http://soft-haus.com/glest/tech_trees/china_tech.7z
And this one also (It has the newer China faction probably): http://www.soft-haus.com/jacob/blog/wp-content/uploads/vbros_pack_3_new.7z
Great that the archives are still alive!
-
Sweet, thanks!
And for the others?
-
could all these factions (after checking the licenses and checked for incomplete factions) be uploaded on the mod center?
-
could all these factions...
Nope ;D
Everything in the mod's centre must satisfy a number of conditions where one of them is well balanced/well playable so e.g. some techtrees like Jammy said:
...but it was very unfinished when I tested it and it's not playable (some resources can't be harvested)...
have around 0% chance to be there at the moment.
-
But maybe we should host a download mirror to archive things ?
-
I remember tomreyn had a public archive of many mods, not sure where exactly.
-
I don't really see the big deal, I could just re-upload stuff on my dropbox.
-
So, sorry for reviving this but.
I wanna ask and request more stuff since I've gotten back in MegaGlest again.
First off, does anyone still have Animal Cruelty (again), I never got a PM back from anyone about that.
also, where can I can get these mods, I've only heard them mentioned but couldn't find downloads: Final Strike, Robotech, Elementals, Invaders (I forgot this one goes by many names), Machinery.
-
