[CF-Devel] Followup on Greyshield maps

[Rick Tanner]

I did some searching in the archives, sent out some email asking if Stefan
Reich still had the maps, and Christian Stieber responded.

Can anyone answer Christian's first question?

      I was going through some older posts and saw that a server that you and

Hm.. I remember greyshield, but "goldcity" just rings a faint
bell. I've heard the name before, but don't actually know whether I
had them installed :-) You don't have a filename of one of the goldcity
files that I can look for?

      By chance, do you still have them?
     
     
I still have the greyshield stuff around, although not in its original
form --- the maps are unchanged except for the initial entry point and
one or two additional small maps (back then I hadn't linked grey
island to Scorn as suggested by the author, but instead set up a very
small quest that would bring players to grey island --- I figured it
would be nice if players had to find grey island before they could
retrieve the best shield and the best bag in the game. So grey island
had patches in other maps (Navar city prison and one of the Navar
houses, IIRC)).

I can send you the greyisland directory, or even the complete cf map
set I had back then (which probably won't work with current servers
--- it still has the original Scorn (which is a big plus), but all the
gods have changed --- so altars with fixed god names are probably
broken.
