Not even sure how this is still alive: http://cncmill.westwoodi.net/

I tried to find it on archive.org, it came out as a proper URL, which it had not since several years.

Nyer may have some fond memories of it. Too bad the forum content hasn't survived, that was great stuff (I logged in as admin, no luck).

That was my site, when I was young and restless... or maybe just bored. Just a piece of history to share.

I never got to finish that though, and it was on a long lost HD. I wonder if Nyer still has scraps of it somewhere, he helped me with some .shp stuff back then.

I can actually still log in on it... but the posts are missing, somehow. The number of posts on the forum is said to be "128", but once inside it shows nothing.

I tried manually putting thread IDs copied from archive.org in the url, but it said they didn't exist :(

 

The other board, "Site Discussion", has the same oddity, but with only two pages, and shows about five spambot threads.

 

I have the feeling there's some kind of age cutoff at work, but one that can't be configured or changed.

Rather looks more like time took it's toll and these spambot posts are on just because they're recent. The rest looks like it was swiped clean off the server. The westwoodi domain was dead for years, I don't even know why/how it is up again. Some member accounts appear active and list details, number of posts, etc. (as is my admin account), but the posts just aren't there. This was so long ago I forget how that BB worked, but they're possibly in .txt's somewhere out there. Maybe if I have the time I can try and access any existing archive through an ftp client or something. I forget how that worked also, I just remember that setting the right chmods for that damn forum made me utter more curses than I've utterd throughout the rest of my life. Turned out a peach in the end though.

Heh, would be fun to get that back.

 

Oddly, I remember a lot more of it being on archive.org. They've been losing archives, lately...

 

As for these SHPs, honestly no idea if I still go these, lol.

Score! I'm never gonna finish it but it's nice to have. Any modders out there, feel free to use any assets you might like. Looking at it now, I'm proudest of my prison toilet art...

Solution: make an archive.org for archive.org... Snapping itself. Selfies, right?

 

NO. What if archive.org crashes or go bankrupt?

 

Download archive.org

I think I used those because I wanted to make parts of the terrain destructible by modding the concrete wall's .shp (with darkness on top so it blends with the template 'walls', etc.). I never got to that though.
