i still have the 03 islands i hosted, along with some old clients still installed on the island server. I could send you some stuff if you really want it, although its useless to.


03 models:
all are already in the current islands, only converted to .atm files, and the .x versions wont work with the current islands (all 03 models/textures zipped equals about 5-10mb)

03 maps:
the 03 maps diden't use a terrain generator, thus all islands were exactly the same terrain wise, also, the 03 maps were double the size of 04 maps. so, they wont work with the 04 server at all. besides that, the maps the clients get is only half the map. the client only gets the .map file when for an island to use the map it needs both the .map and .bui file. if i'm not mistaken, device said he deleted his 03 islands he was hosting.

for the sake of it (even though you diden't ask about it)....03 Server:
although still operational, thiers no longerr any 03 gateways running. thus for players to connect to any islands if you wanted to use it, they'd need to manually add the IPs etc.

I suppose sending the Island Hosting Program is out of the question?

So, sure, feel free to do it, but i ain't gonna be doin anything to arrange
it myself.

Alternatively, you could perhaps wait a little while to see what the next
stages will be - it may be possible to integrate an 03 world into the
forthcoming setup.

after looking threw my hard drives, it turns out i don't have all i thought i still had. still have a few islands and got the start up maps for a few past ones i've hosted. don't have the installer anymore.
