Dx, (or Firbirger), what happened to the PM function for the forum? I was going to post some stuff to you about those files we talked about via email a few days ago. Is it only for some members now, maybe you had a bot problem?
Also, I have downloaded the latest bze installer again, there is no readme info in the zip, just the executable, I was wondering if you had a readme doc for it somewhere, I don't want to mess up my stock bz1 install if that is a problem, I am going to run it on XP.
Dx, where has the PM function gone?

I think it was removed because of the malcontents who where pestering individuals on the forum constantly.

We might be able to turn it back on after that last round of patches. We'll see...

Re: Dx, where has the PM function gone?
That would be nice, it is useful.
I will have some more stuff to post, at least as soon as I can get to a nice broadband connected machine. If I send everything I have it will be around 15-20 megs of stuff. One thing I have is a redone version of Last of the Galilean, all the single player maps are redone in a much better format, TRO Ganymede textures, custom Callisto textures, new units, etc. Probably a good idea to ask Existence if it is ok to post this publicly, though I don't know if he would care. I also have some new missions, and a very large master IA map list in html format with minimap data embedded along with descriptions and ratings. I will send all this stuff to dx at some point, he can make it available publicly. I see that bzscrap.com has been replaced by bzscrap.org, does the guy who is hosting that now come here?
dx, is your email for getting files the same one as I used a few days ago, or do you want me to use a different one? email me and let me know in advance.

The permisions are having problems on the forum atm, see if you have pm now.

•Then it is violently opposed
•Finally it is widely accepted as self evident

Seems to be working with no error messages. I sent a couple of test messages successfully.

Wow. Sounds like you're sitting on a stockpile of goodies. Can't wait to see some of it released!ssuser wrote:That would be nice, it is useful.

Re: Dx, where has the PM function gone?
OK sorry, I made a seperate post about this topic without seeing ssuser's post.
I am interested in contacting FirBirGir on a Private Matter, which would make Private Messaging a boon.

Re: Dx, where has the PM function gone?
Firbirger, sent the test pm, ignore that last bit about the pm for OT thread, I will PM dx now, hopefully everything is in order.
hitch, where you been? What happened to that big site hosting maps, wasn't it bbhz.org or something like that? I tried getting there awhile ago via another thread link, but got an error page.
If you want to pm me with a new valid email I can try sending you some of this stuff too, in a week or so, I hope.

Re: Dx, where has the PM function gone?
Hey ssuser. I'm in the process of moving the site. It's up and running but the URL isn't pointing to it yet. Was going to finish that this weekend but got distracted setting up my new PC.
Same email Addy as before. I'll pm it to you if you've forgotten.

Re: Dx, where has the PM function gone?
Ok, Pm'ed all concerned about email, lotg fix is quite large, hopefully you all can receive it.
By the by, I have counted 251 total Battlezone IA maps in my big list now, with some more that are missing that I know of. Also, 8 TRO IA maps, and a mod for Chinese mission 2.
Mods and original map packs: 7 mods and packs so far.
Some questions: Wasn't ~US~JRKONG a YG member for awhile? He did 2 IA maps, can't find one of them, maybe Killer Instinct has them? Also, what happened to that belirose guy that was doing that mod with maps on mercury and triton? Was that ever finished and released? Also, there was somebody going by Lone Wolf who was doing a map or maps as I recall. Hard to hunt down some of this stuff.
