I'm looking for help accessing an inactive website for the film The Rover (2014), which was created by Column Five. I can't seem to access the full site that includes interactive maps and the timeline of the collapse. I've been searching for over 24 hours for a solution and have even tried reaching out to the company and one of the developers. I did find a developer on GitHub who shared some code, but as a novice, I'm struggling to understand it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I'm glad you got the timeline working! Unfortunately, getting the interactive map feature, 'remapping the world', to run can be a bit more complex. You'll likely need to dive into the code and see which libraries are missing or if there are any specific errors you're encountering.
Getting the timeline up and running is actually pretty straightforward! First, make sure you have git and Python installed. Then, you can run these commands:
git clone https://github.com/greenstick/rover-site-dev
cd rover-site-dev
python3 -m http.server 8000
After that, just open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000/timeline/. The main site is a bit trickier, but you might want to consider hiring someone from a gig work site to help you with it. It sounds like you'll need to fill in some missing libraries there.
