(Hello, old friend)
I'm happy to announce after many years of searching, a full backup of The Mill's submitted files from it's Bungie.Org days have been found and recovered. I want to sincerely thank Claude for his diligence in looking for a backup.
This comes with bad, and good news:
First the bad - Since this was a backup from The Mill's days being hosted on B.Org, it will only contain files from it's grand opening in May 3rd, 1999 to June 18th, 2000 when Microsoft announced their buyout of Bungie and Frigidman closing it down for the first time. Anything that was submitted after June 30th, when The Mill reopened on MacGamingFile, moved to EVIHCRA and finally Fireball, to it's final closure in September 27th, 2003 is still MIA.
Now the good - Even though this archive only spans a little longer than a year, it was during Myth's golden era of MapMaking, and ALL the files are here.......ALL 2.4+ GBs
. That includes 35MBs of Films, 85MBs of Utilities & Misc, and a whopping 2.26GBs of Maps and Plugins!It will take some time to properly sort through everything, but I plan on making all of it available as soon as a method can be figured out. In the meantime, anyone wondering if there's some files here that you have lost, reply and let me know the name of them and what they were (film, utility, map, plugin), and I will do my best to find it for you.
