BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?
Ambular:
ETA3--IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: If you choose to run the hackdiff tool against your installed mods, please only use that information to report unsupported mods that need updating (by creators who are no longer around) or to check and see whether active modders have already updated their stuff. Please do not pester Pescado, Syberspunk, TwoJeffs, Dizzy, Jordi, jfade, Inge, Jase, Eric, Paladin, Numenor, Monique or anybody else who is still modding in the Sims community with diff reports. They already have the information, or will get it for themselves in their own good time, and will likely find the spam highly annoying.
---
Well, it seems like this time around we've got several popular modders gone MIA and leaving a bunch of stuff behind that really would be a shame to lose. I thought maybe it'd be good to have one thread where anybody who's updating them, or knows where they're being updated, can report the fact.
So, is anybody updating hacks by the following creators (or others that are known to have left the building) for Bon Voyage? If so, please reply with a link! (I'll add any others to this list if applicable.)
Squinge
Crammyboy <-- Assumed dead until proven alive.
Atavera (the Custom Instrument Hack particularly)
Christianlov
Lizzlove
ETA: Anybody who has been brave enough to try a hack by one of the above creators that was tagged as broken by HackDiff in BV, please report your findings back here; sometimes such a mod will continue to work just fine (particularly if all that comes up is "Name Unsupported,") or will work but will disable some new EP feature that we can choose whether to do without.
Modders who have kindly offered to update: Would it be at all helpful if I compiled a list of which specific borked hacks have had requests?
ETA 2: If you would like to check your own collection of hacks for possible updates needed, you will need three things:
1. At least a basic understanding of how to use a command line;
2. Pescado's hackdiff utility, located here;
3. The diff report for Bon Voyage, located here. (Please note that this is the diff from Seasons w/patch 2 to Bon Voyage. If you don't have Seasons, or if it's unpatched, you will need to run your own check. Instructions are in the RTFM.)
ETA 4: I've tried to compile a list of abandoned mods that have been checked for compatibility to date, so please look here before posting: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9533.msg263189.html#msg263189

Is Crammyboy definitely gone now then?

Well, his last post was July 18. I don't think he's made a formal announcement, but Pes has discounted his hacks to half-off. I'm proceeding on the assumption that he's gone unless he appears to say otherwise.
Marhis:
As soon as I can put my hands on BV objects.package, I'll try to check compatibility/update for Squinge's mods (at least the simpler ones). Jordi also said that he will.

Awesome, thank you! I've got a fair number of his mods (mostly simpler stuff) and a lot of them scanned clean, but several do need possible updates.
ETA: the diff scan for BV is already up, I think in Bowels of Trogdor or the Armory...
