2006-05-10 All Maps from the HQ

[GaryLASQ]

Yesterday I pulled all the maps off of the HQ and zipped 'em up.

I'm not planning on adding new or updated maps to these ZIPs. This collection is simply a snapshot of what was on the HQ, in 4 conveniently bundled downloads.

So if you want 'em all...here you go:

1 MasterSet (37MB) (http://heroscape.glasq.com/online/scapers/maps/20060510_maps_1ms.zip)

2 MasterSets (35MB) (http://heroscape.glasq.com/online/scapers/maps/20060510_maps_2ms.zip)

3 and 4 MasterSets (18MB) (http://heroscape.glasq.com/online/scapers/maps/20060510_maps_3and4ms.zip)

5 plus MasterSets (29MB) (http://heroscape.glasq.com/online/scapers/maps/20060510_maps_5ms.zip)

Very nice Gary. I was working on that last night but got tired. Stupid me having a job. Grrr.

Anyways, kudos.

[GaryLASQ]

i figured i wasn't the only one. the more "mirrors" we have the better i guess...

That's sweet Gary. Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Nothing like all 30+ registered members all simultaniously downloading 100+ megs of maps to bring glasq.com to its knees :)

[Oogie_Da_Bruce]

Thanks alot Gary! Having all the maps in one easy to download location will make things alot easier for map hunters.

Oh, and Bobbo, it actually take ALOT less to bring Gary to his knees...
... I heard it was 2 bus tokens and a carton of Kools. :wink:

Zing!

:rimshot:

Just for the record, I wasn't looking for that information.
This ones for you, Bannister!

"Not that there is anything wrong with that!"

[cavie]

Thanks Gary. There were quite a few I never got to try and thought I never would see them again. That took some time...thanks again.

[Parduz]

do you all think useful to pack all maps (grouped by MS #) in a unique PDF?
A sort of "Map Bible"?

Hmmm.....? I'm not sure...It could be okay...

[aljovin]

WOW, I was starting to download everything from HQ. I had finished the 1MS working on 2MS. Thanks!

my knees are in pretty bad shape...probably because i've spent so much time on them - praying of course. :)

[Teamski]

Wow! Thanks for the hard work!! :shock:

ROTFL!!!
I should put this in my sign LOL

[SyvarrisX]

Thanks! These will be very helpful! Finally all the maps nice and organized.

Bravo, Gary! Good form in taking the high ground! :pray: :thumbsup: :pray:

[LilNewbie]

Thanks for gathering the maps up, Gary! Those would have been a terrible resource to lose.

Newb.

[yagyuninja]

Wow, awesome, exactly what I wanted. The 5 ms zip is actually the 1 ms, though.

[SyvarrisX]

Wow, these take a while to download.

I think that would be a monster file. I like the idea, but I think it might be a good idea to whittle down the number of maps. The problem with that would be the logistics of deciding what to keep, and there would likely be hurt feelings/bruised egos when one guy's maps made the cut and another guy's maps didn't make the cut. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

I think that would be a monster file.
If you have some good importer of PDF (like CorelDraw) or the Acrobat PRO you will see that in the majority of maps EACH single tile is composed by almost 4 "shapes", 3 of them absolutely unuseful. More, there's ALL the tiles in each "figure", visible or not. With a bunch of (tedious) work, they can be optimized keeping the size at a more decent value. I think it depends on the stuffs used to print as PDF, i don't know. Anyway all maps are almost doubled in size than needed.

And no, i will not like to "throw out" some maps :)

[GaryLASQ]

i will say one thing about LandSCAPE PDFs - they are way bigger than necessary.

i've decided to start keeping the documentation in a separate small text file (html to be precise) and just put the graphics to the PDF.

it's nice having the whole deal in a single PDF but it's not worth the file size, imo.

[Sapper]

Thanks for doing that with the maps. Great idea.

[GaryLASQ]

Thanks for doing that with the maps. Great idea.

you're welcome. glad i did it now that HQ has closed. (there might a few maps done by people that stopped coming to the forums.)

the one thing i didn't do was note the owner if they didn't do so in the PDF. not sure who will have access to the HQ data but we may need to look up the HQ download details on some of these, or they can just remain as "author unknown". no biggie.

[gibberish_47]

Thanks, this was just what I was looking for. And you even organized them for us. :D

[Riggler]

I looked for way to long to find this post. Could an admin sticky this please?

Done, and good call.

Welcome to the boards.

[0rbital]

Thanks! Bought a VW set yesterday and found a nice 2MS, RTFF, VW map Path of Destruction in that pack.

[Xotli]

yesterday i pulled all the maps off of the HQ and zipped 'em up. ...

Not sure if you're looking for corrections or not, but I noticed that Volcarren Marshes from the 2MS file is actually a 3MS map.

Oh, and maybe this is not a mistake, but the file labeled "Flash348" is actually the Island of Death map. (Also from the 2MS file; that's the only one I've actually gone through.)

[reapersaurus]

uh - why aren't these in the Download section of this website? :shrug:
I was shocked when I referred a newbie there, and there wasn't this handy-dandy zip file of 1 MS maps there. :confused:

[Taylor21279]

Great job guys. Appreciate the links!

[eric.dunfee]

Downloaded the 2 masterset maps, and played Squad Mission tonight, awesome maps!

[jcrog]

the links are broken...can anyone fix them or repost?

[AgentX-127]

the links are broken...can anyone fix them or repost?They are hosted on GaryLASQ's website, and I think his site is temporarily down.

Please be patient, I trust the site will be back up soon.

[GaryLASQ]

Yep. The server (more specifically, a hard disk and it's controller) that hosts my HS stuff is down. Not sure how long it will take before it is fixed. I'll know more details tomorrow...

[GaryLASQ]

The downloads are back online. PM sent to jcrog.

[mrkurtb]

This looks to be a great resource. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which of these are favorites?

Thank you.

[Crixus]

These maps are great! Thanks for doing this (although I wasn't around before the site change). My download took 2 minutes for the 1ms.
