For that you would hope there is a DB backup that can be restored, as for enabling download - byplt would need to figure out the data being sent when you save a map, and then emulate it for all map ids

rUsHnUt:

Ok. Above my current knowledge, lol.
Looks like a bunch of maps have been sent to the "Cs_" category.

03-21-2025 at 7:04 PM

rUsHnUt:

Sadly, lots of maps are now in the wrong category.
Not only the "Cs_" I just mentioned.

Arkshine:

rUsHnUt, can you MP to explain what's happening?

03-21-2025 at 10:38 PM

byplt:

everyone can edit maps, someone edit all of the maps and the infos like author, categories, system map issue are gone. db need to be revert..

03-21-2025 at 11:48 PM

ParaBolt:

Yo, Arkshine as byplt mentioned, someone mass-edited the entire website maps to be system-only making them non-downloadable and replaced all author info

ParaBolt:

byplt ran a script to make all maps re-downloadable

Hi Arkshine, many years ago you taught me how to code amxx plugins on allied modders, glad to see you're still doing well

Yesterday at 9:26 AM

rUsHnUt:

@Arkshine: You mean PM ( private message )? If yes, is it still needed?

Yesterday at 4:07 PM

rUsHnUt:

I'm now busy changing the vanilla maps of each (sub)game back to system map.
Though only for Half-Life 1.

Yesterday at 4:15 PM

Arkshine:

No need rUsHnUt, thanks!
Well, I guess we are [*]ed. I don't think I have access to a recent backup. I can restore surely a large part, though.

I really don't understand why someone would do that.

hi, God Of Gaming

Hi. The author of all maps became "pHqghUme", Googling it makes it seem like it's some kind of a default name in databases. All this happened probably due to a database error. But still, allowing anyone to change the metadata of any map is a disaster waiting to happen.

Yesterday at 8:22 PM

rUsHnUt:

Oh boy we are royally screwed.
Djeez, who would have thought such a thing to happen...
Whether you choose to restore the large part or not, thanks regardless Arkshine.
P.s.: Restore, are you talking about the map author thing, the categories or both?

Yesterday at 8:29 PM

rUsHnUt:

pHqghUme is also a name of a virus when under the form of an exe-file. Following info is copied from a website: "it allows attackers to remotely access the computer to take sensitive data including passwords and banking information."

Yesterday at 8:37 PM

Arkshine:

Yes, I have an old SQL dump, I can restore author, category, etc of a large part of maps. But, yeah, it's old. Not sure how many news maps have been added since then. Better than nothing.

Yesterday at 9:03 PM

byplt:

i have some infos for all maps if you need, (Link)

Yesterday at 9:33 PM

Arkshine:

Looking at the dump, I can restore almost 100k maps. Will see if I can fix the security hole as well.

@byplt: sure, if you have a dump of these info, that would help.

Yesterday at 9:38 PM

byplt:

pm sent

Yesterday at 9:57 PM

Arkshine:

I've restored 100K maps for now.
Website should be faster, I cleaned up a few things.

Today at 12:34 AM

Arkshine:

There is something like the latest 1630 maps that I can't recover the author infos.

Today at 1:00 AM

Arkshine:

Edit a map should be restricted now to original uploader, modo and admin.

Today at 3:12 AM

deepeyes:

wow, great!

Today at 8:36 AM

FIXXOR:

some maps do mention their author in their readme but now they'll be listing bypit instead :P

Today at 2:23 PM

FIXXOR:

I think the site previously automatically assigned the author based on what it read in the readme? like inputing the string that came right after the first "by", at least that was my impression
