Looking for old spells that were never updated officially, so any sites with updated ones.

What spells are you looking for? Most of the old 1e & 2e spells were put into 3e / 3.5 at some time, in some way.

Yeah, with as many spells as there are in the Spell Compendium, you'd be hard-pressed to find any that weren't.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Rainbow. Oh, and Continual Darkness, I suppose, but Deeper Darkness is nearly as good.

I'm not looking for anything in particular, simply unofficially updated materials.

Not even close they missed a couple hundred spells or so.

I have converted all my old favorites, but they are not posted anywhere. I've never seen a site with more then a handful of converted spells.

They were never in 3.5 because they weren't good enough to be printed. We get things like enchanting your sword so it vomits rainbows, but some spells weren't good enough to make the cut.

Deflection from OA was always a favorite. Half-damage from melee attacks 95% of the time? None from missiles 95%? Please!

I was doing this at one point, converting everything in the Wizard's and Priest's Spell Compendium books as well as my modest collection of BECMI and 2e books. Of course I lost nearly 200 pages of conversion when my hard drive died last year and I've been very slow about re-doing the work.
There were a lot fun and useful spells. A lot of **** (8th level spell that costs 1000 gp per pop and gives a sword flaming for a few rounds) and some ridiculously powerful stuff like the aforementioned Deflection. And a lot of fun stuff like how to make all these ridiculous chimeric beasts like owlbears, pegataurs, etc., how to embezzle money (Embezzle) and a lot more fun stuff, spells to steal life force from others so you don't age, and more.

Misread pegataur as penguitaur, and was very excited as to what old edition had a penguin centaur or penguin minotaur creation spell.

Bladeweave. Complete Adventurer Page 144.

It ain't even Tome of Battle.
