On the lookout of a custom map: Jiganara2

[TigerTheGreat]

I have Jiganara1 and 3, but I lack any other parts of the series. It is doubtful whether 4 will ever be released, but 2 was...

And it disappeared.

Help, anyone?

Dela, have you tried asking around unrealsp.org? the Jiganara series was made by "maekh" who seems (or used to be) a regular around there.

[TigerTheGreat]

I did that already, no success.

The map is lost I'm afraid. I went through a lot of old floppies today. Found one with 2 zips. Jiganara and Jiganara2. However , Jiganara 2 only contained a unreal script file, no map.



So it is forever lost I'm afraid. Which is a bit sad I guess. I don't having recollection of this map, except a feeling that it actually was something playable that was lost.

Could have been I lost Jiganara 2 before I could actually release. Bigger mystery is how I actually released Jiganara1.

Jiganara 4, i found a broken disk with the name. But it was most likely never worked on very much.
Most likely I started working on the "tarydium caves" instead.


Cheers,
Maekh

Thanks for the reply, maekh. As much as this is a sad result, it's better than not knowing. Thanks, again.

No problem, delacroix.

Unreal is one of the few old games that keeps bringing me back. Found this when I searched about my old maps on google for fun.

However I have one request. If you do find a backup, any wip map or anything, anywhere, like an old hard drive, ancient CD and the like -- please do try to provide it to me. I'm a beta collector and sometimes, with certain authors, it also spreads to custom maps.

This needs bumped as I've found a lead:

http://www.unreality.dk/neutralizer/maps/jiganara2.zip

Link is of course dead, and it wasn't archived on Internet Archive.

However, Unreality.dk all-in-all was owned and operated by a person called Preacher. Any leads on who this Preacher is and how to contact him?

Tried asking for him in either the denmark Unreal/UT community or the official UT forums/discord? Those are always populated.

what's the title level of Jiganara 1 and 3?

[TigerTheGreat]

Jiganara.unr aka Jiganara_new.unr (fixed ver) :The End Of JIGANARA VILLAGE
Jiganara3.unr :Jiganara kingdom

Another lead, which is worth investigating: David Webster (TheAce) of TheAce.org - he also had this on his FTP, but unfortunately, unlike the webpage, the FTP was not scraped by Wayback Machine. Any intel on TheACE or Preacher of Unreality.dk ?

EDIT: Further lead. Preacher's Unreality later became fappin.com (despite the name - a general gaming site), then turned into a more personal project. News from 2007 evidence a clan [FAP] which was focused around Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
