    I guess we could make a new forum category in costum content.

    different topic: can we make a list of the pages that have been uploaded already / will be uploaded? (pages + user)

    Funky and X2 have a good point. It would be nice to be a place where people can link mods that are not on the XLEX, but they didn't themselves make. It could be a forum or a data table as it is/was on the old XLN.

    Something to consider for the future, perhaps?

    We are talking about the general moddding index, what actually contains mods from other sites eg.links to them. I guess that should be uploaded also since it contains mentioned links to non-XLN custom content (General City, Simtropolis et cetera):angel:
    Maybe we shall do a Forum Post made it sticky, and then make it as "Non-XLN mod list" or sort of that if we can´t do it like it´s on the old XLN.

    We could actually do that with the resource manager as well, it has an option to use an external link instead of a physical file. That file always confused me because most of the stuff listed there was in the Exchange

    Okay there is a new resource category called "Offsite Mods" that is designed for resources with external links, that should work perfectly. Now I guess some one has to go through the General Modding Index and only migrate stuff actually not available already?

    There's a error over at the old site. Not sure if it's to do with the downtime last night.

    Hey Icy, just wondering about the migration of user accounts. Is that still going to happen?
    Reason I'm asking is because of the stuff posted already. It wont be associated to a username if the username table is overwritten. I think the resource posts of a member would have to be manually reassigned to that member.

    Edit: Oh and also before I forget. It will get worse if the old XLN is read only. People will want to post somewhere and there will be an onrush of new accounts here.

    Hi Icy,

    Please, note that I will re-upload my mods and Breizher's mods (my previous modder avatar).

    ATM OLD XLNation is dead, with no plans to migrate anything. Would be a huge mess at this point anyway to try

    Are the migration finished? The last days i have only seen CJ's and off site mods. But i know for sure there are still mods from old XLN who are not uploaded here.
    Don't get me wrong. I understand it's a fastidious work and it will take some time. Perfectly fine. I just want to know how are things at the moment and make sure the site won't be missing any mods.

    I've seen those and there are some i can identify. I'm going to Download it again an make a list of the ones i know about.
    Does that mean the mystery are the last ones? I was under that feeling when i saw that post...

    But there are more mods missing. At least my 2 mods and they were not in the mistery packs. I didn't uploaded them because i didn't want to mess things up and cause duplicates.
    If the migration is finished i wonder why my mods weren't. I can upload them, no problem! But i wonde if some others are also left out...

    Should i post the list here?

    any mods that were posted in message threads or hosted on third party sites have not been recovered and wont be. All the "official mods" in the XLEX that were stored in the right place on XLNation (old) have either been restored here or they are in they Myster Patch o1 and 02 for anyone else to figure out

    I think mine were stored in the right place. No external links at all. And they are not in the mistery patches.
    But just to be clear. Does that mean the migration is finished? If this is the case i will upload my mods then

    I know some people made XLEX entries but were forced to link to an external hosting site rather than upload to XLN directly due to bugs - perhaps that was the case here?
