my last comment was 2 years ago - im now starting a mario overhaul mod from scratch by myself

So happy to have this on Steam, was always a personal favorite. I hope we get that graphics pack soon, the classic UI is so painful.

Thanks @2chuu4u! Looking forward to the day this works on the steam edition :)

I should point out, that on the Bay 12 Forums for this game, there have been some user fixes posted if you're comfortable tinkering with the files. It's actually not too hard to learn, for any players interested in this mod but concerned with issues.

my favorite mod

Oh nice, you're finally updating the mod to work for the steam version, thanks. Looking forward to see it progress.

Efforts are ongoing :')
Though I've managed to get in touch with another modder and we're working together.

Some things IRL, as well as just challenges in general, have held up my own personal efforts. But I do think I might be getting somewhere soon with some of it.

so anything new going?

Hype for the mod

Some news for anyone interested: Last night I got most of the old graphics from v44 working. Once I finish up I will probably upload it as a separate mod you can use in conjunction with this one if you want to play in the modern mode as opposed to Classic.

After that I'll be working on making a stable build to see if we can have a version working closer to as intended on Steam. c:

Stay tuned frens!

Ah, yeah I saw that! But I don't want to go annoy people in a Discord made for their own game, asking them to come continue work on another game's mod XD

I'll fix this myself if I gotta. (Or someone better will)

Here’s an Indigo Fenix’s YouTube channel showing off his latest project https://youtu.be/0-OV56RwwxE?si=tLPGOS5munljzuOj . In the description there’s a Discord link. I don’t use Discord, so I haven’t been in the server. I’m assuming that would probably be one of the best places to ask about the mod and keep in touch.

I'm holding out hope. It's just too good to let go :')
Thanks for the update CircusClock!

Do we know if the dev will update this again if that bug gets fixed?

For anyone wondering what happened with this mod, the dev ran into some issues with the code where the game would crash during world gen. The modder thinks it most likely has something to do with Dwarf Fortress’s engine. The mod may or may not get updated. It all depends on if either the modder or the official devs fix the problem. I really hope those issues can be fixed so we can get an updated version of this mod. The original is an amazing fever dream that gives you a radically different Dwarf Fortress experience. It will be a tragedy if the thing never gets updated. Thankfully, 2chuu4h listed some ways to play the mod.

I'm not sure where the Dev went, but I really hope he comes back some day :')
The mod does sort of work, although no graphics are available and you can't import them from the Classic version.

For now, you can still play it on the Classic version v 44, or the unofficial fanpatch for version 47.5 found on the Bay 12 Forums.

If I could get an account on Bay 12, I would try to contact people interested to try and revive the mod. Otherwise, let us hope for Mr IndigoFenix to return one day.

Is this mod dead?

On generating a new world, I noticed it seems to crash a lot, and on a successful world gen, the world had excessively low populations and civilizations.

@klisz oh wait this is playable right now? I thought it didnt work, couldnt figure out how. Thank you

@Wolly: On the Steam version, instead all you need to do is disable all the 'vanilla' files in the mod picker before you generate your world.

I saw on the forum post for this mod that the Legacy version of DF can create a mushroom-only filled world if you delete or move the "raw" folder. Idk if the steam version will be as easy to try overwriting since the workshop has all sorts of mystic ways it likes to handle files.

How goes the progress?

I'm so excited for this, thank you for giving this early release, I'm rooting for yall all the way!

Koopas were playable in older versions and IIRC they are the most directly Dwarf-like of the three playable races (Toads, Koopas, and Shy Guys)

All my life, I've wanted to be Bowser. I've always wanted to be big, green and covered in spikes. I've always wanted to build tremendous stone palaces of evil over blazing lava pits.

So I guess my question is; Are Koopa playable or enemy only?

This is one of my favorites. Can't wait for it to be ready.

Cannot wait to see this mod ported in full, it's one of the most ingenious total conversions out there.

I'm hyping this so much! I went back on old files and played a little on the good old 44.12 version.

I first saw this in one of Kruggsmash's videos, and it immediately became my favorite mods ever! I'm thrilled to be able to play it for myself, especially if there's plans for any spritework!
I'd fork over MONEY for this!!!

played this mod a few years ago on the pre-steam version of Dwarf fortress, one of my favorite mods by far im so excited to see it fully released for the steam version

I've been looking forward to the update of this mod. Keep up the good work.

THANK MARIO FIRST GOD SECOND MARIO IS MY IDOL I WILL ERECT A GREAT BLOOD SHRINE TO HIS MUSTACHE.

God Please let this happen, I would love to see this with some sprite work.

Wonder how the pokemon one will use textures, hopefully a still frame of fifth gen.

@Kammander Kewl: Well, Italy isn't a thing, but you can play as a human pump operator outsider with a Yoshi pet and ride it to a Dark Koopa Fortress to fight through an army of minions (possibly after using a fire flower to gain fireball-throwing powers) and take down their Demon Koopa King. Or at least you will once Adventure Mode is ready.

Will we be able to adventure as italian plumbers? Maybe a cool dino mount?

letsssss goooo

i have been anticipating this!
