In my sig there is "Modder's Resource" if you wish you can learn to mod, as I have several links and a Wiki Rip that allows you faster and offline access to the valuable information on the wiki. Also we have several threads dedicated to answering all your modding questions. And looking at the current raws of vanilla DF can really help you understand how things work.

[SirAaronIII]

Now that I've actually played a Monster Hunter game (3U), I can properly appreciate this mod. And cry because it's ancient.

I might consider picking it up, but I have no skill either. I'll be sure to take a look at your resources though, Hugo.

This mod had such potential, really hoping somebody picks it back up.

And SirAaron, if you do decide to do some work on it, keep in mind that just about every natural ability the monsters should have seems to be entirely nonworking.

Daora's wind veil seems to work when you put them in the arena, but only until you take control of something. Not sure why commanding a unit breaks it, but it may still be FUN in fortress mode. (especially considering it seems to be insanely OP, even compared to other monsters from this mod)

(no, seriously.. it took like 4 tigrex at once to bring one down in the arena, after it'd killed a hydra and well over 100 armed sentients of various races  )

fiiiiiiiiinaaaalllllyyyy! the mod i was always dreaming of, appears in my absence! Thank you so much!

[Duefaku]

Is it possible for you to make a separate the monsters into different generations? I'd like to play only using the 2nd gen and earlier (Freedom Unite and all before it.) because I'd like to keep the game with things I've experienced as I haven't played any 3rd or 4th(?) games.

EDIT: Also, quick question, will adding [AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE] to humans and dwarves cause the monsters to ignore me?

[Covenant Ringthane]

Might I ask if this mod's a total conversion? I'm interested in it, but I don't want it to be something that replaces vanilla. It's probably been asked before, but I'm just checking.

That problem is because they were made back when dragonfire was a tag rather than an interaction.

Creature interactions, along with bodytype revisions and recreation, are going to be two of the biggest edits involved in recreating this mod.  The weapons and stuff are easy - most of that will work as-is.  It's the creatures which need the most revision, and unfortunately, the creatures are the largest (and in my opinion, most important) part of the mod.

I work on it in my off-time, but picking through all  those raws to figure out what needs revision is exhausting.  Half the time I'm tempted to start entirely from scratch.  Anyway, still hacking away at it.

Hey guys, guess what!

Monster Hunter is REBORN!

This is purely a beta, but all the critters are working.  I got three errors, but so far as I can tell, they're all harmless - the creatures spawn, fight, and spit their various fires, poisons, and clouds as expected.  All the weapons still work, Felynes and Melynx are spawning as needed, and I went ahead and corrected a bunch of typos.

The big thing I'd like you guys to do is watch out for weird interaction behavior - a couple interactions are still a little wonky (like the -blos roar) because I'm fairly new to creating interactions like this.  My thanks to SethCreiyd, as I used his Flora and Fauna mod as something of a library on interaction structure, allowing me to create all these varied monster attacks.

Also bring up any concerns you might have - a big part of why this is a beta is because I want to get it into the hands of more experienced players and modders who might notice things I didn't.  One thing I did run into is that right now, Genprey bites are basically death - even if you're left alone, the paralysis lasts so long that you inevitably suffocate.  Anybody know how to set up a syndrome that does a full-body lock but DOESN'T suffocate?  All my attempts just resulted in 'sluggish'ness.

[Seriyu]

I'll have to look at this at some point! I'll be sure to let you know any issues that crop up.

Bumping for feedback

[Furtuka]

Ptw. Will try it out later

Hi !

Thanks for the patch, Thuellai !

I played a bit in adventure mode, encountered a bunch of Jaggis, and everything went fine !
Strange thing is : when I stand on a stack of bones and create a piece of bone armor, no matter how many bones there are, it always consumes the whole stack, it seems...

[Ultimuh]

Posting to watch, since this interest me.

[Jimexmore]

Did you fix that baggis?

That's a known bug with adventure mode crafting, I believe, along with the bug having to do with...  Gauntlets, I think?

Glad to hear all the creatures are spawning and behaving as they should be.  They were the largest part of this mod, after all, and updating them to a functional standard for the new edition was definitely the longest part of things (I spawned each and every one to make sure nobody was missing skin or body materials.  Took hours)

It's just a really fun mod, and I've been frustrated for a while that it wasn't up to standards, so I got cracking.
