Made by 'they might be mapmakers' (TMBM).
More 'info' here:

this plugin was made by Strangelet, not by TMBM, by the way

archive.org is a site that has historical archives of living and dead sites. When you see a url like http://web.archive.org/web/[b]20010405[/b]030641/millarchives.com/. The numbers in bold are the date the archive was made - so the page you are looking at is from April 5, 2001.

Strangelet CREATED Alien Dark Tide, but he had (significant according to some) assistance cleaning things up for public distribution by TMBM.

From the ADT manual (written by Strangelet)

"After the unitmaking learning curve was mastered (with the help of plenty of beer and cigarettes) and a few dead ends were eliminated (maybe we could have created the marines unarmed and enabled them to pick up any weapon they chose but it would have been a tremendous hassle) the units were taking shape and a few prototype maps had been completed. a couple of early alpha-tests on bungie net proved that the fearing was shot to hell, and as the projected release date (febuary - omg mb not) was looming, the decision was made to seek help.

I approached TMBM and asked them please sirs and madams could i possibly join your lovely mapmaking group - look what i've made already - p.s i can produce music mb. money changed hands and I was made a member. ADT was now a TMBM production and much better off for it. Although there was a great dissapointment when we had to dump all of the scripting (we simply couldnt get it to work in net play), we feel that the un-scripted game will still give you more thrillz than u can hake a stick at."

My bad, made by strangelet
So is there anyway I can get it (even in beta, I don't mind)
As the website I went to, I figured it was from about 2001 etc and the download wasn't able to work due to not being archived.
Any mirror downloads?

well, i remember the developpment of ADT for the simple fact I was buddy with strangelet. Probably only Joyeuse ever helped him in his production, the rest were busy creating a now abandonplug called Day of the Ghol which was probably the worst solo campaign ever created for myth, heh.

I can't say who did what, just quoting from the man himself.

Speaking of "Day of the Ghol"... http://www.mything.org/index.php?a=map- ... 0000002666 (unfortunately screen shots are missing)

For the ADT plugin try http://www.orderofhpak.com/OoHDownloads.php - it's an updated version of the Alien Dark Tide unitset that lets you play ADT units on just about ANY map.

I have several ADT plugs. I deleted one of them though, since all games on multiplayer which were played by someone without the plug (i.e. everyone) went red. I have a unit tagset which is great fun to play with though, even if it wasn't the final version. I also have the fire maps and several multiplayer maps.

Elf, for multiplayer goodness you really ought to try Baak's most recent revision "ADT anywhere".
