When downloading some of the things, (At least Alien ruleset), it appears to download everything, but then freezes with a
Failed to fetch
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freec ... rs.ruleset: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.
This is with GTK3, but Qt also appears to freeze (but does not have this message at the bottom). Additionally, all the files are blanks, despite existing with the right names.
On Windows 7.
Amplio: water.spec
Alien: teamgladiators.ruleset
Alio: tunnels.spec
German States 1871 has a different error:
Failed to fetch
https://modpack.freeciv.org/scenarios/X ... .5.sav.bz2: The requested URL returned error: 404 not found
Anyone know what this issue is?

Odd, clicking on your link here ended up as 404 for me, navigating to it from
GitHub to
raw worked for me. There could be limitations for "downloads from raw.githubusercontent.com", you should anyway find complete modpack content on modpack.freeciv.org, the line...
Code: Select all
baseURL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freeciv/freeciv/S2_6/data"
...in the
2.6/alio.modpack is shaky. Boils down to "which server is gonna pay for downloads", raw.githubusercontent.com is entitled to opt out when they say so. They could also throw random errors as some kind of "I'm not a robot" captcha, and the modpack-installer definitely is a robot.
Correct answer,
http://modpack.freeciv.org/scenarios/XYZ does not exist, and the line...
Code: Select all
baseURL = "http://modpack.freeciv.org/scenarios/XYZ"
...in the
2.6/german-states-1871-1.5.modpack is wrong. Or more likely, the line is as it should be, but the XYZ folder is AWOL.
Updated later, JFTR, the XYZ issue is now
HRM#721925, and the alio issue is now
HRM#721926.

Rats. I think this is a Windows-specific issue, and I suspected it would happen; see comments in
hrm #656477.
I suspect the problem is that the web client library (Curl) that we ship in Windows builds is too old (and has outdated CA certificates or something like that); to successfully do https one does have to keep more current than http, but github only offers https. (And with the way we build Windows builds for 2.6, it is not necessarily easy to upgrade our client library.)

I've not reproduced a freeze or crash.

I've reproduced this.

No mystery; the two URLs are different; GriffonSpade's has "2_6" instead of "S2_6". Since the files on the server mention "S2_6", I'll assume this was just a transcription error by GriffonSpade.

Yeah, it was a mistake in the transcription. (Note that I deleted a bunch of the extraneous parts of the image to reduce filesize)
