Will Scenario mods for 0.14 still work in 0.15?

I realize that version changes usually necessitate updating a mod in order for it to work correctly (or at all). One can sometimes get a mod from a previous version to work, but that seems unusual.

There are a lot of 0.14 scenarios on the Steam Workshop that did not get updated. And some of them seem tempting. I just thought that scenarios might be more likely to work. Am I wrong? Can anyone verify?

There are a few scenarios which have dependencies on other mods. Obviously, those are less likely to work.

I suppose I could just copy/past the scenario conditions (which are are always spelled out in the description) into the game and create my own updated version for my own use. That seems simple enough. However, at least some scenarios also have a page of text (for flavor) that appears after landing/starting. That part is not as easy to copy.

You can open the A14 scenarios as XML and copy the text out.

you can compile modification that will parse "oldstyle" scenarios if you really want, in other case - fix errors manually.
