Lost mods preservation project
EDIT 13 AUG 2020: Many of the links in this thread are broken. Corsair91 has found a number of these mods and is posting them in the "Reserved for Game Mods" section.
Hi all,
Over the past weeks I have been trying to collect all the mods that have ever been made for SMP.
I have now approximately 1200+ files, catalogued by mod type and if possible prepared for use with the ModMgr software. These include the mods found in HOPs database, from the Addicted forums, from the Civilisation forums as well as others that I found by chance.
My intention is to create a sort of "SMP collector's edition" DVD that would include all the mods and extra files. Important: This project in no way would be a "pirated" edition of the game!
I would just prepare a package, launcher scripts etc., with an empty folder and instructions on how people would have to put their own, legal, SMP files from the bought CDs / DVD to make them accessible by the launcher - e.g. it wouldn't include the actual game!
I don't want to make this post too long but I'll gladly add more details if there is interest.
With view to this I would like to send out a CALL FOR MODS.
I am particularly looking for the mods made by the following creators, mentioned on HOP but for which the links are dead. I have already tried to pm these people but there's no answer... Of course I'm aware that these mods were created long ago for the most part!
So, if you happen to have these files available, please pm me!

I am also greatly interested in any "unpublished" mods that you would be willing to share. Absolutely all creations interest me (even 'adult' ones that are not accepted in the mod database), the only caveat being that it should actually *work* eg be playtested.
Would anybody be interested in helping me with that project?
Please pm me or answer to the thread and ask all the questions you want!

TheDon's New Country Sails are available in the mods section in the Sail Emblems folder in the file countrysailpack.zip. Another mod by TheDon in the same folder is large_piratesails.zip. |

Thanks for that piece of info Roland, guess I already had this one then!
Should have double-checked more carefully.
Do you know anything about any of the others? |

I would guess that most of TheDon's mods are available somewhere on HoP. But the only other one of those characters I have even heard of is Jon Lu Ta. |

I have some of Jon Lu Ta's mods but I have so many I have no idea which ones are his. If you have the file names I'll look. I believe he posted here not to long ago, 6 months maybe. |

Thank you so much Loki!! This is awesome!!
And yes, sure I'm interested in toying with the barmaid's clothes
Will it inspire more people to share their mods?
I've been wondering about how to best share that package I am trying to put together as it's gonna be very big.
An idea I have would be to make it accessible via bittorrent - I could easily seed it for ages and the bittorrent link could be added to the mods database on HOP. Or would this be too controversial? Many trackers are unfortunately associated with the less savory kind of pirates...
Any thoughts? |

Here's some of the barmaid and bartender clothes for use in Modmaker.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mlnjdnyidtv/barmaid stuff.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qygmmgzghml/bartender stuff.zip
With the bartender you only see his head, shirt, vest and arms/hands so I didn't even bother doing anything with the other parts of the .dds files for them. Also, I don't remember how I did it since it was so long ago, but you have to add the bartender category to the "Match Pattern" section at the top right corner in Modmaker, Maybe I added it to Modmanager in order for it to appear there but I'm not sure.

It's a library of mods! Well done, MCSmarties, and other mateys!
By the way, MCSmarties- is your name a reference to Smarties candy? And if so, do ye eat the red ones last?

Trying to keep this thread alive...
C'mon people - specially the old hands - you gotta have more mods than what's in the database!
If you're not sure, please share what you have anyway - I'll do the sorting! _________________

I'm working up a collection of delectable and rather adult-themed barmaids and beautiful daughters, which I'd like to contribute to the project. I'm probably a couple of weeks away from getting them ready for publication. Stay tuned.
