JEELEN's Scenarios & Maps

Sorry, not my fault. The site repeated its earlier mistake when switching servers, which, as before, was accompanied by a lot of uploaded files getting lost. Unfortunately, I no longer have copies of the original files available.
 
Someone just asked me if the scenarios in this thread can be rescued. Funny timing as I just finished rescuing a whole bunch of Jeleen's Civ2 scenarios in a very similar thread.. didn't realise he had a similar Civ4 thread too.. https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/jeelens-civ2-scenarios.296670/ (Might add a link to this in the OP though so it's easy to navigate all his stuff..)
And oh boy.. I see this Civ4 one is way bigger and even more confusing lol.

Theoretically I can rescue everything in here as the admins have given me access to the old CivFanatics hosted download backups.. however unfortunately those download codes in his links are meaningless (due to multiple server changes long ago) which means I have to search for the file name, but I don't know the file names.. and there's over 84 thousands files (not folder catagorised in any way) in the backup.. so when you put in something like 'star trek'.. you get endless stuff for every other civ game too lol. Jeleen very rarely put documentation in his mods so even you do find something it's hard to tell whether it's his mod or someone else's. So it took forever for me to rescue his Civ2 stuff and in the end I only rescued half of it, and I'm way more familiar with Civ2 files than Civ4s (meaning I could usually recognize his modding style with Civ2 by certain file types and naming methods, but I don't have a clue what his style was in Civ4 lol). And top of all that Jeleen seemed to think it was a good idea to release new scenarios in the middle of the thread on like page 35 in the middle of a giant sea of endless "scenario xxx goes up to 100 downloads" posts (which really means nothing as it was probably half bots) and didn't put these later releases in the OP making it half impossible to find them. Plus similar to me Jeleen did a lot of preservation work so many of his uploads weren't his scenarios but copies of other ones already out there and sometimes he'd modify or fix them but not document that making it even harder find whats truly his stuff. So yeah.. I'll probably only rescue a few things that interest me and then the rest will only be by request sorry as there's no easy way I know of to find and bring it all back sadly.

Oh I have previously rescued his Master of Orion Civ4 modpack though.. that's here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/moo2civ.6521/
