CTF Maps gone missing - please help me find

[reefer]

Hi guys I have been searching for some missing Q2CTF maps for some time now with no luck. I would like to post the .bsp filenames here to please ask your help in the search.  Please reply here if you have any info, and also I can be reached at dondeq2 at gmail.

xlctf1.bsp *missing map  

This map was not publicly released, very small, first CTF map by ProdigyXL.  Unfortunately ProdigyXL let me know he does not have his old hard drives, so hoping that he shared this with someone.

Blog post on ProdigyXL's missing first Q2CTF map: dondeq2.wordpress.com/2017/02/12/xlctf1-unreleased-q2ctf-map-by-prodigyxl-3/

hctf1.bsp The Begining (mispelling was in the original) by }{ammer.  The files are not available on archive.org but would have been from twistedpolygon.com or something. Hammer went on to do Quake3 CTF maps with the exact same name, so please don't get mixed up, if it's a .pk3 file that would NOT be for Q2.  *missing map
hctf2.bsp *missing map
hctf3.bsp *missing map

Back again with more Q2CTF maps gone missing.

Lsdctf2.bsp *missing map
Lsdctf3.bsp *missing map

SyncError recalled making these and even remember what they were like in a short convo archived here: dondeq2.wordpress.com/2017/05/04/missing-lsdctf2-and-lsdctf3-by-syncerror-quake2-q2ctf-missingmaps/

Anyone with more info please let me know.

cappak.zip from Terrafusion 5mb zip of Q2CTF mapping contest finalist maps which included:

tctf1.bsp The Wrong Place by Claes 'Torakh' Redestad (NOT the same as tctf1 found on acmectf and tastyspleen server, which is Twin Generators.) *missing map
granctf1.bsp Guns Before Butter by Martin Ka'ai Cluney (GrrandMaMa)) *missing map
meltdown1.bsp The Meltdown by Keith 'Vampire' Mercer *not technically missing but maybe it's different
scysfa.bsp So close, yet so far away by Ian "Bill " Halliday *missing map
geminictf.bsp Gemini Temple by Mark Major (aka Shmitz) *not technically missing but maybe it's different


Bad news is all these files are missing even Claes no longer has copy of his own map which won him a Voodoo2 (i reached out to him on Twitter.) We do have Gemini Temple and the final version of The Meltdown. However i would still like to see the versions in this pak maybe they are appreciably different versions. I get excited about stuff like that. Please HMU with info or the jackpot.

We have identified 3 more maps that are missing from public Q2CTF map collections. They were spied on the Quake 2 Railwarz clan, "The Saints" archived website from what would be the tail end of the golden era, around 2002.  The maps are part of the q2ctf-rs series:

q2ctf1rs.bsp - The Flight of the Raven
q2ctf2rs.bsp - RiverStyx Crossing
q2ctf3rs.bsp - Smack Dab GIZZed
q2ctf4rs - Beast Within *found 
q2ctf5rs - Bodos Mountain *found
q2ctf6rs - City of Angels *found

Anyone with information please get in touch.
