Thanks underworldfan, it's good to be back. Wish I wasn't gone as long as I was.

I need some help from the community though. While re-doing my site I found some files missing, can anyone help me with these:

balance.zip -balance of power
darkness.zip -The Darkness within
element.zip -The Underworld Element
mrc-ef.zip - En force

I can't seem to find them.

Thanks

Hey

Nice to see the site back, and thanks for the reviews (presumably; I haven't read them yet :)
I just may have some further Q1SP releases this summer, if I can ever get off my ass.
Working full time puts a real dent in... uhh... basically everything.
Cheers.

For Old-ish Maps...

It's worth checking

though of those, we only seem to have darkness (unless the zip files are named something stupid).

Can't find the Underworld Element yet.

Thank You

I appreciate you finding those for me. I'll have to fix my links once I get some sleep. Now all I need is the underworld element. If you should happen to see the mod called catch the shrimp (shrimp.zip) I need that as well.

Vorelord if you have either of these files you can probably just email them to me.

Thanks everybody.

Thanks Again

#18 posted by DorKwolf on 2005/05/27 07:23:43

I can't say thanks enough for all of the help and kind words you all have gave.

We don't forsee us going anywhere anytime soon but I don't expect us to do 11 reviews a week either. It is our goal to provide an up to date archive for these wonderful games and not let them fade into the void.

A Tronyn Map Pack

This summer would be swell. To quote Goodfellas, "It's gonna be a good summer!"

BTW, if you do intend to use the IkBlue map I sent and need me to flesh it out, give me a shout out.

I agree with this post.

The Site Is Cool, But All Html?

#21 posted by Tigger-oN on 2005/05/27 19:26:38

Wow, the site is very cool, but its all in HTML. That must be a pain to update! You really need to look into ASP / PHP and some kind of SQL server (M$ SQL or mysql). I'm pretty sure someone will be able to give you a hand.

I checked my map directory, and I didn't found Underwater element map. I was pretty sure to have it. Sorry...

I agree. When I first started the site 3 years ago I was just really learning html and had plans to learn one of the new languages but things changed for me (divorce, losing my computer, ect..) so now I'm back at square one.

I have it set up so it's not to hard to update but it would be nice to have asp or php.Hopefully in the near future I can start learning one of them.
