Is there a backup of old server maps?
I've been away from the server for a long time now and was wondering where the map saves went?

I forgot to document any of the stuff i did last revision (ship included) so i can't wait for the last creative revision to go up. Also wouldn't hurt to see people fill in some empty spots on the nerd.nu wiki with stuff from the last few maps if they're feeling ambitious.

I asked this question a couple weeks ago and was informed that eventually "when the mods get all the kinks worked out on the website", or something along those lines, they would upload saves of the nerd maps.
Which is why I have built and had protected my own little post-apolcalyptic supply farm on Creative: http://i.imgur.com/iIGaU.png
The chests down below contain nothing but gunpowder and sand, so when I'm playing on single player, I can destroy all the buildings I don't like.
The clearing nearby of isolated ore blocks (also protected by the mods) should help me on my way as well...

Related question: I downloaded a creative backup a while ago. How do I convert it from its current (compressed) format into something playable in single-player?

Just open the folders in the archive until you reach the folder 'World10'. Copy this one into your saves directory of minecraft singleplayer. Or In General, just look for the folder that contains a 'region' folder and the file 'level.dat' (and in general some other files) and copy it to singleplayer saves directory (you can rename the copied world directory if you want).

When I try to decompress it using 7zip, I get a file that says "Cannot open file (filename) as archive." Any tips?

The file you downloaded should be a .tar.gz. Inside it, there can be a .tar instead of the files. If so, just open also the .tar archive. If you can't open the tar.gz. nor the contained .tar archive (if exisiting), then your download is just damaged.

Yes, this is what I wait for since the backup directory went down (the DDos attack). The new nerd.nu page does not contain such a directory and no other one went online.
I wait espacially for survival rev8 und the just so excellent pvE rev3 maps and of course creative. They should be able to put a directory back online I think. Its now several weeks since the attacks.
