Sleggie 3 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Hi, This is my first post on the forum, and I signed up just to make it! I play on the ZE server from time to time, and recently I got really nostalgic and decided to search up a little map I made back in 2012, over a decade ago! The map's name was ze_AlienShipArcade, and I made it for a competition. I remember the map not being played because something happened to the person that was hosting the competition. It was pretty much abandoned, and I essentially gave up on it really quickly. However, I noticed that the most recent (and only) reference to this map that I could find comes from NiDE. I found this to be a big coincidence, but what I found to be even more strange is the fact that the map was apparently added to the rotation fairly recently. Here's the post: I was wondering what happened to the map. Does anyone know if it was added? If so, why was it removed? And if not, would it be possible to add it back? It would mean a lot to me to finally be able to play 1 round on it after 10 years! Thanks Edited January 17 by Sleggie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malala 46 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I have no recollection nor is there any evidence this map was ever added to nide, however it was added to the GFLClan Zombie Escape server (which is still alive but only active on weekend events for a few hours). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini. 42 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) https://fastdlv2.gflclan.com/file/gflfastdlv2/cstrike/maps/ze_AlienShipArcade.bsp.bz2 this may help you (in case you don't have the map file). If you want the map added to the server, you should talk to a server manager Edited January 17 by Mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to tag them unless hobbitten doesn't respond but I guess he will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't my first map by any means, but I got improved so much since AlienShipArcade. In fact, I was really really young when I made this. From what I remember though, it does play out pretty nice. It pretty much fits in the old-school category. I'll add you on Discord! And thanks everyone for the support! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve mentioned before, I know it’s not the most beautiful thing in the world. But it’s really old and made by someone who at the time was still quite new to mapmaking. This post was more of an investigation than anything as I was so surprised to see traces of it on NiDE so many years after it was made. If anyone knows how it was found let me know, but I have a feeling it was someone from GFL that might have added it to a FastDL list a long time ago. How they found it would be a mystery! Fun fact: this map took be about 14 hours to compile back then. Today it would take me a few minutes. Edited January 18 by Sleggie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
