I just found that Matt repository in MEGA is down. Do you know any other place to found good old stuff?

If i understood correctly, Mat's account got blocked due to copyright issues. Which is why bk.be offers only the 'free' stuff and is just a tiny little bit in comparison with Mat's account. It's hard to believe no-one here made a backup... I must admit i haven't, as i was sinking in my own modding business, but there must be still a few ppl out there that collected BK stuff, right?

I have a fairly large collection but my upload speed is abysmal...I might be able to upload single items by request

I have some stuff from BKP in a couple old DVDs, but I lost almost anything released after the end of the old portal. Matt's repository was unique...

Kaoz, I noticed in your site there is a page about MP Units, but I couldn't find any link to download it. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey bb!
No, you're not doing something wrong.
Most of the modders here received Doug's permission to use his models in the mods. So did i and the goal, i think, has always been to use his models in action/maps. I never intended to create a MP mod or pak, but of course going through all his units, gave me one automatically.
It was also never my intend to create a pak to show off with on the back of Doug's work. Same for the skins of others involved. I know, a Pain pak would be great and interesting (i had this conversation with Quintaxel eight years ago), making it possible to use over various mods, but yeah, this simply wasn't my goal. Said it before, but i have spread his units over IUII, OA and SPS mod, the latter still under construction. That's always been my main aim, apart from the SPS mod maybe.
And although Doug's original units can still be found and downloaded, i have always had 2nd thoughts about putting a download link to his work. Even if i am very pro public domain minded and his units can be found in various mods, it just wouldn't feel right to me without Doug's permission, which of course is impossible now. So out of respect for the fireman, most of us here had a bond with.
Enough yammering... I have already shared the pak with those here who asked for it. So send me a pm, bb, tell me how you're doing and i will gladly provide you a link. I believe this is a better way and maybe how Doug would have wanted it, but that is an assumption from my side.

Matt's repository was unique... Yes, it sure was and that's a pity. I am somewhat surprised that mega simply blocked it and not gave a chance to just remove the copyrighted stuff and keep the rest...

Hi Kaoz, ok. I'm not mapping or "modding" anymore, but I like to use MP units in old campaigns. I'm playing RT campaign for the first time now. I'll send you a PM.

For all the non copyright stuff, someone could always just create a new Mega repository and upload it. The free tier has a limit of 20 GB which should be sufficient I think. I haven't got anything left which isn't available currently, but I'd gladly help if anyone has stuff to share.

BKP old stuff is easy to find, but how about all maps, mods and skind release here and in the old Wespex forums? Anyone here saved it sistematically?

I would like to support a new libary like Mat did. Could we maybe create a list here who can contribute what content?

If needed, i can provide a zip file with all the (singleplayer) maps from BKP. It concerns Wespex' version. It is foreseen with txt files containing info, added by us. I went through all maps, but made a selection for bk.be site. I skipped everything that caused crashing, but also those i believed were 'not my cup of tea' to say it polite.
For the multiplayer maps, i started from that zip containing the 1000 maps. I can also provide it if needed. I also took a selection from that, according to what i think was worth uploading. I admit, there are still maps in there worth uploading, but were skipped because i keep postponing this task... If anyone wants to go through the maps and believes i should upload specific ones, send them over and i will gladly add them to bk.be.
Mat's library, if i remember correct, contained many more maps than only the old BKP ones. It won't be easy to restore this without the help of many others. Mat, Longfellow, Scyoof, Folgore, ... where are you guys? I hope Stanenberg and Grot can provide stuff.
Concerning mods: what is on bk.be, is legal and what i am able to offer. From Mat's library, i only have IRON FROST Legacy++ HD.rar on a backup. I thought i had an old backup of HF1945 mod too, but can't seem to find it... On bk.be i cannot, of course, offer anything violating copyrights.
Creating a list would be a good idea.
Oh, concerning skins and models, i downloaded a lot from BKP unto 2016, but went all straight into a mod. I might still have some backups, like the ones from Dunkel, tgd, Alex_Z, solvaing, and others, but would have to go digging. I know many of you have put this kind of stuff on Kboltz' site, which was ok, but i never created such options as i rather like seeing them within maps and/or mods.
