User:Dismounted Feudal Knight/TWC Mods Audit

Overview

This is a project I have had in mind for some time, and is related to my other Archiving effort.

Currently the scope of this is to divide between two types of mods. Dead and downloadable/living. Dead mod forums are to be sidelined (not necessarily deleted). This is to give breathing room in the index to projects which still have downloads, have known saves in case the downloads are down (currently something I have a copy of, obviously we'll want to do better than that long term), and which are at least in development or can be contacted if they are WIPs without a download.

At this time this is only for hosted mods. The best I can do for any other mod such as those in various released mod subfora is to mark them as 'no download' or something, and that is a can of worms I am not prepared to open unless someone points me directly to such a mod to flag on the spot.

Current reviews by section

For this process I am only looking at hosted mods. Mostly they are Available or Unavailable. Unavailable will be subject to an inquiry to see if the author could be contacted or if anyone could have something to offer the section. If there is truly nothing to the section then the hosted forum may be trimmed or shuffled off. In development mods depend: they need only worry if there are no developers and have not been for a long time. Projects like TGC for example have nothing to worry about. If it's got no release anywhere, no team present on TWC, nothing in the forum of particular public interest, it may disappear. That's the working idea.

Medieval II Total War

Medieval II: Total War Hosted Modifications

Pretty simple, either I found them and have a copy or I don't. Some might be recoverable with further investigation but some of these are probably gone for good, especially Medieval Classic.

• Anno Domini: Unavailable, needs final check
• The Character Names Project: Available, stale, saved
• Complete Byzantine Unit Roster Project: Unsure? coming back to this
• DarthMod for M2TW: Available, stale, saved
• Medieval Classic: Unavailable, needs final check
• Ornamentum: Unavailable, needs final check
• Sinuhets modifications: Available, stale, saved
• Xenophonia: Unavailable, needs final check
• Ultimate AI: Unavailable, needs final check

M2TW: Kingdoms Hosted Modifications

This is going to be a long one. A few are obvious and filled out otherwise I mainly need to do these one by one. Some I do have but I can't promise clean copies, so I need to recheck.

Virtually everything is kingdoms, so maybe m2 vanilla should be dropped into here?

Other Games

The only major section here is Mount&Blade, which hasn't been lively in a long time.

Mount&Blade Hosted Mods

These mods have generally survived through Nexus or ModDB. I went through them a while back and ensured available mods could still be reached through TWC, as most existing links were dead. I still need to guarantee personal copies for each mod and complete this section.

• 1257 AD: Available (stale, third party)
• Cursus Honorum: Available (stale, third party)
• Finland At WW2: Unavailable. Not even moddb where there are comments reporting it has been gone a long time.
• Imperium Graecorum (IG) (WB): Available (stale, third party)
• Peloponnesian War: Available (stale, third party)
• Prophesy of Pendor: check
• Secession: check
• Vikingr: check

What about the rest?

Headers are to be added when checks are started. I'll probably do something smaller concurrent with checks of something larger, avoiding super gnarly sections such as Rome until the current large section (medieval 2 currently) is complete.

TWC Downloads

This is not for downloads hosted on TWC servers. Rather this is for mods that link to an external site which has since vanished. What to do with them? Right now the idea is to simply flag them as defunct. Hex is mulling over adjustments to this area so updates are TBD.

Other thoughts

Anyone willing to help out with this is free to reach out including to append suggestions to this page, to make a thread in the Q&S, or to otherwise reach out through TWC or discord. Otherwise I'll reach out intermittently, ie, to people I think may be able to offer something so a section that might otherwise be 'dead' can be saved from that fate.
