Beast Build Server TT Maps
« on: March 04, 2016, 02:34:10 AM »
Hey guys.

I've been archiving all the Source maps I liked growing up. I thought the archive was complete when it suddenly hit me - Beast! All those old traintrack maps! I immediately started searching all over the Internet trying to find out about the server's fate and where I might find any of the maps, but so far I've found next to nothing. Sure some of the admins still play Steam games but I can't PM any of them and I don't want to harass anyone with friend requests to private chat. In addition I can't ask on the Steam group because it's invite only. Eventually I found multiple old threads on this forum mentioning it and even an expired download link to a full map archive. If there's anyone I might be able to contact about these maps, this is probably the last place I can find them.

So I guess I'll ask now. Does anyone here have ANY of the old Beast TT maps or at the very least any leads to help me in my search? Thank you all for your time. I hope this is the right section to ask this.

[bbs]WildWill on Steam is the original host/owner/leader.

I have about 20 of the various versions of maps he created.
Would be surprised if all of them even worked.

Give me a few days. I'll message him and see if he minds me sharing.

Still no reponse from when I asked week ago.
I don't know if it's him that is signing in every week or so, or his family and they're not telling him.
I've left another message for him.

Sorry to necro a thread, but just making certain.
Has he still not given a reply?

No worries about the necro. I'm glad you reminded me.
I never got a response.
HOWEVER, as it's been so long, I found a new contact method.
Seems he's got a good business going for himself, at least, the website for his business would make it seem that way.
I've reached out to the business email address. I'm betting I get a response this time.
If I get a 'yes', I'm going to have to dig up the maps again.

You are welcome to use any of the old TTmaps.  I have them on the old redirect server still after all these years.  I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed them, I'm honored.

There. I brought WildWill back from the beast's grave, if only for a quick visit.
Whew. that was tiring.

Oh jeez I forgot to check back!
Thank you guys so much, I played these maps for ages back when I was younger. It means a lot for you to go so far out of your way for a stranger!

Thanks one more time! :D
