Met@ 128 Posted July 13, 2016 Hello people I don't really know how to announce this because it's not an usual situation, so I'll do it simple. Days ago, I was contacted by Zim4ik's brother, he told me that Zim was dead. He did it only now because he accidentally opened his email with mails from Modcraft few days ago and I was the last guy who talked with him. So, here's the messages. Zim4ik's brother: Quote Hi. It's his brother. Zim4ik was killed at 14.07.2014https://vk.com/zim4ik So, that's it... I asked if I should tell this to the community too, and what happened. Quote To be honest , no one knows . The door to the apartment was open. In the kitchen were signs of a struggle . He was found at the bottom under the house . Ejected from the eighth floor . He died immediately . On his computer left many files . He worked up to the end . Here is a screenshot of what to do about it ? Yes, better to tell everyone . Let remember the day of his death 07.14.2014 ..... so, you can write at my email y*********o@gmail.com It's very sad to die in this kind of circumstances. So, as he asked, I continue to discuss on his own email. I told him he can send us his work so it will not be done in vain because he worked for this community. Quote Hi. I made *.zip Maybe I'll give you teamviewer to see what is nessery and what is just wow folders. (because of size 6.9 GB) I'not competent in this. I'm not in the same country as him, so it's not easy to find the time to use teamviewer, I'm not a pro too and I don't know which file can be useful for the community if it's not models (Trinitycore, sql, etc...). So he uploaded the files. Quote So, I did it https://mega.nz/#!VQZWSLhL I think, I had to do it earlier, but I accidentaly opened his email with mails from Modcraft few days ago.. So, anyway, use it. The files are hosted on Mega, but he forgot to give me the key to decrypt the link. Quote Oh, of course !rThTc2gf21r55mWoto9WwTgJdaQtDS2N-qXNfV_fFP0 and, I'll be in touch Best regards! So, that's it. You can download the pack too, it contains his work on retro-porting HD races to 3.3.5 (the m2i are for older M2mod release, but you can convert his modified m2's with newer version). There's also a patch with custom races like Tuskarrs, Taunkas, etc...) and DBCs to make it work. You are free to continue his work if you want. https://mega.nz/#!VQZWSLhL Key : !rThTc2gf21r55mWoto9WwTgJdaQtDS2N-qXNfV_fFP0 Edit: you can extract the file only with 7zip, not winrar or default windows extraction. You can contact his brother if you want to tell him something about that, I don't think he'll be angry. y*********o@gmail.com [Email Address Remove to Prevent Spam] (Send me a message if you want it to contact him) Gnomically, Meta. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skarn 469 Posted July 14, 2016 I heard this story about almost a year ago and I was told it was not true. When I heard that I asked @Vellear for confirmation as they were friends with Zim. He said it is not true and Zim has left his town for studying somewhere and that he is not interested in modding anymore. But he claimed they talked in the end of 2015 and he showed him photos from spring, 2015. I do not know what to believe but y*********o@gmail.com seems to indeed belong to his brother. If this is still true, rest in peace, Zim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megamoocow 34 Posted July 14, 2016 Sad to hear a fellow modder is gone, if i use any of his work i will put his name to it. RIP Zim! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skarn 469 Posted July 14, 2016 I and Met@ checked a lot of facts since this post was created. There were many "weird" facts we found in the released files and Zim's social media, so we hoped it was faked. However, after contacting his brother again and reaching some of his friends, it became clear that it is most likely true, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elrena 131 Posted July 14, 2016 Knowing that someone from our community died with his mods being the last signs of his life... It creates a kind of feeling that I can't describe. I remember seeing Zim4ik's name around Modcraft all the time years ago, and now regret that I never got to know him. Thank you for sharing his work, I'm sure his friends here will really appreciate that. Now, word spreads fast so I hope everyone who wanted to contact his brother has already done so. I'm going to remove his email address from these posts to protect him from spam bots. If you still want to know it, contact Met@ and I'm sure he'll help you. Rest in peace Zim4ik...

Simple_spectr 56 Posted July 15, 2016 Really sad... Do you thinking sometimes about yourself. What will be with your own work if something happens? How community will take this news etc. But I still can't believe it, I thing information is wrong. Really can't believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dashker 23 Posted July 15, 2016 all people it ask hisself this things... but sometimes you can't do anything... If one thing has to happen will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simple_spectr 56 Posted July 15, 2016 You know some... Zim4ik brother is modder too? Look at date files changed in 2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skarn 469 Posted July 15, 2016 That's why we thought it was suspicious. However, his IRL friends claim he's dead. Take this as an example too. https://new.vk.com/wall254817355_114 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simple_spectr 56 Posted July 15, 2016 Oh, this looks like true... I knew him when he worked on Eternity RP project. Also when he created his first race patch I was early-noob in modding. He was the one guy who inspired me to learn modding. Fuck, I'll never believe that he died. Rest and piece, Zim. I think we never forget you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
