Mods download page

verbosity · Post by **verbosity** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 1:26 pm

Hi,

I'm thinking of making a single mod download page, so users can have a single (Searchable) list for mods. I'm also hoping at some point that this could be incorporated into the launcher, So I'm wondering how you guys ( esp the mod making peeps) feel about this.

A couple of points to note.
1. mods will only be in the list by their owners permissions, and the mod creators will be able to change/update/delete details/files.
2.any files must be owned by the creator ( or they must have permissions), The creator must also note what sort of licencening the files they have created have.

Probably missed something important, so thoughts comments critical points etc welcome

----------------------------------------------------
If it has enough support ( from the mod makers ), then It would probably be up sometime next week ( once I've finished the rebuild of the userlogin system)

I love this idea. Right now the various mods are spread throughout the forums and difficult to find. It would be great to have a single repository, sort of a one-stop-shop, for people to search and download mods.

It would be great if this was supported by Vice with a link from a forum post and/or from the Legends webpage.

If this happens, you can count on my two (soon three, hopefully) mods to be on your page.

Great idea, ideal, the forum can be a little daunting for n00bs like me

This forum? It sounds like a good idea ... most places I visit have a dedicated "mods" section. Another good idea might be to change the "Today's Posts" option to an "Unread" option ... allowing the viewer to go directly to new posts, no matter how long it's been since he/she last visited the forum.

Actually I was thinking of doing it on verbsleagues with an option to use the launcher to implement the files ( if possible).

there is no reason that it couldn't be incorporated into this forum, though thats up to vice.

Fully support this and I may add that many times there are two separate sections for discussin' mods that are under work and searchin'/donwloading mods. A sort of working area and a DB.

Something that way indeed.
Otherwise it can be difficult to get the latest version or browse through all the comments.
