Huh. Never saw this posted anywhere before, but I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully, natch) to get to the Vidiotmaps site for weeks. It is the home of the greatest map resources, map patch stuff, badge tracking, etc. anywhere for CoX.
Or, was.
So, going over to Badge-Hunter.com, I find the Vidiotmaps page with plenty of stuff that’s been done in there since this news blurb:
Sunday, July 02, 2006 – One of the companies involved with hosting vidiotmaps.com has gone out of business. This will be the temporary location of vidiotmaps until everything gets worked out. Please be advised that this quasi-mirror does not have full functionality and is a work in progress.
At first glance, most if not all of the Vidiotmaps stuff seems to be there (including Mayhem Mission maps), plus all sorts of other goodies. Yay. (The LJ article also has a link to the ParagonMaps
map resource, which looks interesting.)
Hmm… The mirror I’d been using seems to be down. The site you found isn’t a mirror, and lacks some of the functionality of the original. For instance, you can’t bring up a new map by clicking on its portal on a connecting map. Still, it’s better than nothing.
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been having the same problem. I was lucky enough to find the new site only a week or two ago…
And you didn’t say anything? Harrumph!
Well, you’ve been moving. I understand that can take up some of your attention.
Actually, Margie’s the map fiend in our house. She’ll be pleased by the news.
Umm, I’ve been using this since about a week after Videotmaps went down. Got the link off of the forums. Thought I told you. – Opps!
And once more, I am Firmly Behind the Times and Out of the Loop! Huzzah!
I have heard rumor, the way, of some hep micro-computer entertainment and information platform called the “Inter-Nets.” Has anyone else heard of it? Sounds spiffy! 🙂
The mirror i use is at http://www.fleettec.com/mirrors/www.vidiotmaps.com/coh/?g=h&page=maps_po&map=&size=&chart=&b=&sort=&show=
