Because gearbox.wad and overturn_ads.wad are nowhere to be found, I have replaced the .bsp in the download with a modified version that can be played without them. I left a backup of the original .bsp. It took a few seconds with a hex editor (you replace "valve\gearbox.wad with "valv\halflife.wad" etc. - the folder names don't matter). The map never used any textures from those WADs.

also the tools seem to be broken, as they all show the paths without "/"
TWHL's old code was incorrectly removing backslashes. It was a bug affecting every post on the site. I have edited the log and put backslashes back where they likely once were, for readability.

Important
The download died. I have replaced it with what seems to be an early version of the map found on 17Buddies. It doesn't use the tree models and is fullbright.
If you ever return to TWHL, Urban Six, you might want to replace the download and move this map vault entry back to the "Completed" category. We have a higher file size limit these days so you don't need to use an external file sharing site.

It's Midsummer soon. If you want to celebrate, get some friends or family together, have some nice food - whatever you usually eat at Christmas or Easter works - out in the garden or a park, eat strawberries with milk, drink some snaps, stay up until next sunrise. You can wear your local traditional dress or dance around a pole but those things are entirely optional and frankly too much effort. There is no wrong way to celebrate Midsummer Eve so long as you spend the day with people that you like and sit outside if the weather is nice.
The download works if you copy the address ( https://twhl.info/vault/download/5366 ) and paste it into your browser's address bar. The reason clicking doesn't work is that the download is hosted on The Mighty Atom's website which is HTTP only and these days browsers are getting more and more restrictions on unencrypted/insecure websites.

I added zillafinal.wad to the download. I also compiled a .bsp.
Unfortunately classic_kleineh_dod.wad was too big to add to the download but you can get it from 17Buddies. You only need it if you want to work with the .rmf, though, as I wadincluded the necessary textures from it in the .bsp.

You had a thing for dark horror levels, didn't you Dawley? I think you could have made something really nice if you took the time to make something bigger

58 megabytes. That's how big all those WADs are. Fortunately, the map only uses ONE custom texture (nm_metal6 from neilm2.wad). I have added that WAD to the download and modified the BSP using a hex editor so the map can finally be played after all these years, without any texture or WAD errors. I have left a backup of the original .bsp in the download, too.

No. Trust the engineer (Tetsu0). They are tetrahedrons (tetra hedron - four faces).
A tetragon is something entirely different, it's a 2D shape with four edges (tetra gon - four angles). Squares and rectangles are examples of tetragons.

The download is no longer available. The one at Thinking With Portals isn't working either. Do you still have this, Les? TWHL supports 16MB uploads these days.
A nice little map, I really like the look of it (you took the screenie in the least interesting place haha)! I had forgotten how hard it can be to aim in side-scrolling Flat-Life though!
I have added a modified version of the map to the download, that doesn't require tfc.wad or tfc2.wad. The map never used any textures from those WADs so it was a simple matter of replacing references to those WAD files with references to halflife.wad using a hex editor.

If you want to play the "Acceleration" half of this map and the game crashes with "ED_Alloc: no free edicts", add
-num_edicts 1500
to the game's launch options or add
edicts "1500"
to liblist.gam.
Also note that although this map only works in multi-player (it has no info_player_starts) it only has two spawn points and doesn't appear to be made for playing with lots of people.
That said, I think it's a pretty neat little map for practicing bunny hopping, even though I don't enjoy bunny hopping.

Edit: I have replaced your download (an external link to http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=15957833&k=f28a1c54732e2d4b6af11b91293b1d7930f2ce39904ea0515a5b9c4bb9da29a6) with your files from the TWHL Cubicles mod and it seems to work fine

The external download has been down for years: I am replacing it with the relevant files from http://gamer-lab.com/rus/mods_goldsrc/Flat-life_1.2 , I hope that's okay.
It sucks to look through the vault and see maps without screenshots
Added. Thank you for your service. - Urby
In other words: It works now
