Humus Page

[Apoc]

I'm trying to enter to the humus demos page (i had a new card that can do ps 2.0 and want to try some effect demos on it) and it seems it is down. Has it moved to another server/url?

Also, I want to apply the doom3 patch for ati users (to increment speed), but as it is in their hosting, i can't download it. Can any of you mail me the patch?


Thanks.

The server is borked and he isn't in the same country as it.

Thanks. Do you know where can i find the doom3 patch?

Yup. The webserver is down. The FTP is alive though, but it doesn't help me to bring anything to life again or reboot the machine. SSH is setup to only accept connections from certain IPs. So normally I would login through the university I my hometown, but it seems my account on its server was removed recently since I don't study there anymore. So currently I have no way of getting into the machine other than FTP. I've been trying to contact my old roommate for days but haven't been able to contact him.

Anyway, PM me your email and I'll send it to you.

Any chance that ATI will give you space on their demo/source-code page for your stuff?

I doubt they would do that...wouldn't that imply that they supported the code somehow, and they'd get ripped to shreds by whatever random idiots?

Check out what happens to Humus' threads on NVNews.net. It wouldn't be much of a difference from the current situation.

"Supported" as in: that ATi would provide (tech)support for the demos and whatever effects they might have (lost work etc)..

Not if they could supply a virtual domain that linked to a bit of disk space on one of their servers somewhere. It just needs plenty of disclaimers all over the place.

I can host you your homepage, just tell me how many HD do you need and i'd tell you if it's possible (i only have about 350 mb free and 5GB of monthly transfer, but is better than nothing).

Even if they would I would still prefer to have my personal demos and website content clearly separated from the work and company I work for. My demos aren't really developer samples, even though many of them certainly could function as that too. Also, I'm not sure everything I have on my website would match the corporate policy. I don't just host demos, but also have plenty of stuff in my temp directory, of which some could be questionable. I also don't think ATI should host very personal stuff like all the photo galleries I have.

Well, the website seems to be about 150MB right now, not including the famous temp dir or the database. I have no idea how much traffic I have in terms of GBs, but it quickly adds up when thousands of people download a new demo. 5000 people downloading a 1MB demo would be 5GB.

I have thought about going to a real webhost and get a real domainname when I'm at it too. I have some friends from university running a webhosting company who promised me free hosting if I ever needed it, but unfortunately they are shutting down their business now so that's not an option. Anyone know any good and cheap webhosts allowing mysql and php and reasonable space and bandwidth?

Well, it looks like your demos are the only source of information to get 3Dc or instancing work on ATI cards...

You mean other than actually contacting ATI about it?

Try 1and1, they have very good hosting offers. (10$ monthly, 1GB of webspace and 50Gb of monthly transfer).

Hmm... humus.beyond3d.com may be a possibility Just thinking out aloud... ask Dave if you're interested.

 

[Dave Baumann]

Yes, we do have plenty of capacity, although I'd have to monitor and cap the monthly transfers (I'd guess 200GB PM for a trial). Although I would suggest you map you own domain name to our nameservers.

Well, for 3Dc there's a sample in the latest SDK. Written by me too. But otherwise emailing devrel should help.

200GB is probably more than enough. I'm thinking it'll be in the range of a few GB a slow month and perhaps up to 15-20GB at worst. I don't want to be a burden or anything, but if it's ok to host it on beyond3d servers that's certainly an interesting option.
