Anybody up for a 'World of Masterwork' enviromental and creature mod by reconstructing bits of info from 1.3 and the readily readable DFwiki masterwork documents as a clean-slate mod concept? It's probably easier to put together in a collection with other bits, like boltgun's succubi or mix in with other content.

The only real obstacle I can in the way of the concept is navigating permissions of the mod authors for parts that have been piecemealed or received alternate interpretations post .50

I'd be willing to help as best I could or put up stuff from my mods to go into that. Not the best modder, but I loved 34.11 MW and would love to see it make a comeback in some capacity.

Though permissions aside, it honestly seems the biggest headache would just be making sure all the DFhack stuff plays nice since the mod is so reliant on it. And graphics, since the layering stuff was... Not done in a way that makes it easy, and MW adds a lot of items.

So is this mod dead?

As far as I know the person maintaining this mod has been working on the graphics for the steam release

Curse of fan projects pulling from whatever they find for assets without thinking. Not worth dwelling on at this point, as mikekchar said.

That aside, I don't think he's actually home at the moment to work on much of anything. I think someone mentioned it a month or so ago that he's out and about on a trip and he's usually gone for long stretches when he goes on those. I remember one MW release had to wait like 2 and a half months or something for anything more substantial than an emergency bugfix because of that.

Ahh damn, thanks for posting that. It's an unfortunate reaction to some very old questionable decisions but I understand the reasoning behind it.

Even after clean reinstalls, I'm receiving these errors:

Code: [Select]

Unrecognized entity tool token: ITEM_TOOL_PEDESTAL
Unrecognized entity tool token: ITEM_TOOL_DISPLAY_CASE
Missing Item Definition: ITEM_TOOL_PEDESTALHow can I fix this? I already generated a world I really like, but I can't actually embark on a location or else the game crashes due to this. There are other things in the error logs (material for animals) but this seems to be the most relevant.

EDIT: Somehow the vanilla raws were missing, I just grabbed them off of the wiki.

Another question for anyone who knows or still plays Masterwork: I created some charcoal and clay balls, but the kiln says I require fuel for earthenware. Does charcoal not serve as fuel anymore?

[toradrow777]

Is anyone working on this?  I'd hate to see Masterwork just die off.

Meph's last active time on these forums was January 01, 2023 so I wouldn't expect any updates soon.
