I've made a little castle called Blackrock Castle to bring a fort for the dark lord in your moduls, because of bad guys, who needs support. It is inspired by the castle from the 14th century which was built to protect the emperor's crown jewels.
How to use it the best:
1. use the included "Demo area" as a base for your own area. It's well "baked" and I was trying to add some placeables and rebake it and it caused no problems.
2. improve the textures in the demo modul, I wasn't bulding the area, it was made just for the "correct" placing of the castle.
No credits needed and don't worry to use it even on some servers, where I'm not too popular :D.
Just minor changes (1 model, 2 normal maps changed)
This hack should be and is a model of one single castle. It is not a set. The castle is splitted into few placables bacause of the possibility to bake the area properly, it means make it walkable. The shape of the castle in the Demo modul is the only shape I've intended to make. Not a some kind of castle construction set. If I could make one big correctly baked placable of the castle I would do that. And that's why I've included the Demo area. It's the base for the castle, well baked, etc.

While I was very excited to see more from this style, I am pretty disappointed that the towers and walls are all attached to each other. This significantly limits their use and hinders the over-all flexibility of this pack.
When I first saw this I was thinking it would be something akin to the City Hak, but that is just not so. These models are top notch, and work great if you are making an area that has this exact castle in it, but anything beyond that is difficult at best.
Again, but really the last time. The package is splitted into two parts (because of the server upload limit). Download both files, place them in the same directory and unpack just the file called "hak_blackrock_castle.7z.001". There's no need to unpack the second file, it's even not possible (that error what probably occurs on your screen ;).
I could unzip it without problems. The files are ok.
Unfortunately it's very specific and not possible to use many of the placeables for different purpose like in the City hak. But the castle itself looks great for sure. _________________________ Ja khaless zhah waela !
Hi, download the files (hak_blackrock_castle.7z.001 and hak_blackrock_castle.7z.002), place both of them in the same directory and right click on the first one "hak_blackrock_castle.7z.001". Select "7zip -- extract here" or something similar if you use WinRAR and the Hak file "hak_blackrock_castle.hak" should be extracted. The hak file has about 30 MB so it had to be splited in the two files (25MB upload limit without the FTP access). Ups, such a long sentence from me.

Hi, I've tried to download the files and unpack them and found no problems, no errors. I've used latest non beta 7zip for unpacking - 4.65. If this error appears again to somebody else, let me know and I'll try to use another package and I'll reupload it.
