Greetings from greece
I came back to modding, but got stuck on the insane possibilities that twbt offers for graphics and spend the time I had making new and unique things on that front. I thought i could reach more people that way. I made over 4000 sprites, unique looks for different materials, animated liquids, 300 decorations,... Lot of work ;-)
I had a look at amostubals updated mdf version, but its hard to find and Double-check all the changes.
Overall I think the direction I took Mdf was a lot of work on projects like the individual playable races, that might be unique, but in the end barely used. Most people want dwarf mode, not kobolds, orcs, gnomes, warlocks and the like.
Updating between versions, especially when custom dfhack scripts are involved is insanely work intensive too, mostly due to my inability to write and update these scripts myself. I am/was always at the mercy of participating authors, which is how the gnome and warlock mode got lost between versions.
My current idea is to make a Starter pack, with optional additions that DO NOT rely on any scripts or file changes. Take all utilities and the 32x tileset, then add the most liked features to it, optional of course. No foreign authors, unless someone really insists ;-)
My work, which is the majority of the mdf content is free to use by anyone, but i cant give blanket permission for everything, because people might take content by other authors and miscredit it to me instead... Happened before. :/
Right now I'm mountaineering around Europe, till... October or so. Dont expect anything right now, but I'm always around, reading and making plans. :-)
I dont know how much interest there is for a "New Masterwork 44.12 update" but I could probably throw that in at some point too.
Hope that cleared the situation up a bit.
