Are there any mods that you'd love to see updated to the newest DF version?

Mods often get writen, released and abandoned once a new DF version comes out. Updating them is not that much work, but someone has to find the time to do it. Once I take up modding again, I plan to run a mod orphanage to keep outdated mods alive. Please post their names and a link and I'll add them to my list of future projects. I intend to update and release them in three versions.

Legacy Edition: The original mod, unchanged. It gets a description, screenshots, 3 tilesets, readme and comes pre-installed with it's DF version.

Updated Edition: The original mod, with minimal changes. All the changes that are done are only to update it to the newest DF version. Also gets a description, screenshots, 3 tilesets, readme and comes pre-installed with the newest DF version.

Upgraded Edition: The Meph-Edition, so to speak. Based on the new abilities that dfhack and DF versions offer, I add features to the mod, depending on community feedback. Mod gets released with everything above, plus Dfhack and Dwarf Therapist.

Cheers,
Meph

I think one of the most interesting idea for a mod would be the fremen sietch mod. I really like the concept of depending entirely on trade to survive and I don't know others mods that could have these atmosphere. Of course, given the age of the mod, it'd be less 'updating' than 'rewriting from scratch'.

If you are not familiar with Herbert's universe, I'm sure people would be happy to help (and I recommend reading the books anyway, it's worth it).

Wow, a Dune mod. That works super well. Have to re-read the novels first, but it's certainly interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can you update the Beastfolk mod by dholedays located here http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7194. also can somebody tell me if dholedays is still a member of the site.

[Meph]

There is no member on bay12 by the name of dholedays. Does the mod have a thread on bay12?

Nope

I have kind of updated the Fear the Night mod, just basically fixed all the errorlog stuff. Everything has the standard human gait speeds, unless it just plain didn't fit in which case I copied a similar creature's gait. Also the extract stuff I made use skins since corpse is apparently no longer a valid target. Also, I would love it if someone could update Monster Hunter Universe!

EDIT:AUTO CORRECT!

[Meph]

You got a link to the monster hunter mod you mean?

I think he is refering to the mod made by Iados. But it has been updated for 0.40.02 by Wimopy. It's not exactly up to date but as said in the last page of the new thread :

I still also have the oral part of the exams, so I'll be preparing for that, but after the middle of June it's free time

I don't plan on abandoning my Furry Fortress mod when the new version comes, but I've never had as much time for it as I'd like and I'd love to see what you would add or change to the concept.  I'd be willing to put it up for adoption if it's something that interests you.

Can you complete the Dwarf Appearance Visualiser mod? It may happen eventually otherwise but it needs strong leadership.

I love the idea of a place where people without the time/skills to do it themselves can come and post their favorite abandoned mods, and those with the time/skills will update (and possibly expand) them.

I can do modding, but I can not code, especially not a started program of which the source code has never been posted. As far as I know he only did graphic mockups and no actual program exists. The best people to talk to are probably Japa, Splinterz or anyone from the dfhack team.

I thoroughly support this project. If you wish me to, I could trawl through the board to get a list of the outdated mods.
