Other than those three i can't think of anything off of the top of my head, i'll have to give it some thought

Same here. Then again there isn't much many mods can do besides modify those.

Right, status update. Right now, the computer with all the progress on the mod has died, and I'm stuck with an Intel Atom that hangs running DF. So unfortunately, I may have lost the work on Talon Mercenaries thus far, and a future update may be delayed until I get another computer that can run DF properly.

[HeartfireFlamewings]

Hopefully you didn't lose too much, i know the feeling of when a system dies and you lose a ton of progress on something

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Yay, two pieces of good news. First, my parents were kind enough to get me a new laptop. Second, upgrading to DF 0.40.24 and DFHack 0.40.24 r2 now means that reaction-trigger works.

[HeartfireFlamewings]

That's good to hear!

[Destyvirago]

This is great news!   

[twwolfe]

and there was much rejoicing!

yay

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Oops, I just realised I typed reaction instead of item.

I thought I'd come here and mention how I've been awaiting the unofficial fan update thingie.

Bit sad that you lost data, buuuuut, I don't mind the wait

Hope everything's going well and all.

Alright, how do I put this? As many of you may have noticed, it's been a coupla months since the last update came out. Truth is, I think I've kinda been losing interest in modding DF, since my old computer died. Thus, I regret to say I would no longer be continuing the mod. It's been a blast, these few months, less than a year even, I would like say that I release my personal hold over the mod blah blah blah like Lycaeon did, but I can't, since I have no hold in the first place. So go ahead and do whatever you feel like doing to it. I may continue this at a later time, I may not, but I will still lurk around here and wish whoever decides to take up the lead the best of luck.

I am sad to hear that you are now longer working on the MOD, but I have to thank you for the time and effort you put inn. This MOD is probably what has kept me interested in DF for so long, but all good things must come to an end I suppose.
I wish you the best of luck with whatever you will work on next

Does anyone still have any interest in this mod? its a shame to let it just be forgotton.

I'm sure there's some interest still. I've been kinda piddling along with a little story stable/town I haven't updated in forever ( wanteds to have a really big update for it, but a full-time job kinda hit at the time I started on said update,) and I'm sure some people still play it now and then, either for some nostalgia, something different, or as a result of rereading Fallout: Equestria or a sidestory.

But with the new version being out, DFhack not being able to catch up very well for whatever reason (effectively crippling power armor and hazmat suits/gas masks which depend on it,) and nobody really willing/able to commit the time the mod needs, it seems the mod is doomed like many others to fall by the wayside.

At least a valiant effort was made on the parts of others to try and continue mod development, but I honestly feel that ultimately, Lycaeon was the best one for the job here (not to diminish the work that Snail555 and UnicodingUnicorn put in on their go at updating it,) as the work he did resulted in a more "finished" product so to speak. Hell, one could say the mod's development plans were a story in and of themselves, covering the time right after the war (what with raiders, and slavers being a constant problem and the Steel Rangers being colossal bullies,) up to the founding of the NCR in Equestria and New Roam in the Zebra Homeland.

Ultimately though, unless someone comes along with the right amount of dedication and free time available and DFHack updates sufficently, the mod can be safely assumed to be collecting dust.

[HeartfireFlamewings]

There is an alpha version of DFHack for the latest version, not sure if it'll play nicely with some of the features though, i havent tested it.

I'd put in an effort myself if i could understand DF modding at all, i suppose at least the mod has been left in a good enough state so that it can be played
or be updated, i think the hardest part would be adapting it for the latest version.
