First version released on Renegadecommunity.com


http://www.renegadecommunity.com/modr.php


It requires you to login with your forum name and password (don't worry: this is only used to check you are a valid forum member).

Once you're logged in, you can apply filters to the different releases and you can add / remove releases from the different categories. I have done this for a couple of releases already, but it obviously needs some community input Smile.

I'm open for all suggestions to improve this tool.

Oh, this is awesome, nice Thumbs Up

EDIT: Oh crap, just realized I was editing the entries on accident, fixed...
Clicking on tags next to results will edit the categories for that listing, for those who are new to this...
OK, I get this now, I'll look around and help tag some.

For faster tagging, ctrl-click the tags, so they open in a new tab, hence you don't need to wait for them to load before clicking a new tag Smile. There's a lot of data for now, but it can be done quickly if we all help out a bit Smile.

Added a "weapon" category.

I think the best way to go about organizing stuff is to make it so that no one can reply to threads in the mod release forum.

WIPs of content should be posted in the mod forum where people can freely comment on stuff and help towards a final release. After that final release, a mirror should be put into the mod release section for archive.

Only admin/mods and specific people should have the ability to post threads in the mod release forum. So any release that the modder makes would have to be approved by the staff and the staff would put it in the release section.

The subforums could definitely help lessen the clutter and make it easier to find things without having to shuffle through different types of work.

The current way of working is fine, IMO, and this new tool on rencom will help everyone to find what they're looking for.

I like being able to comment. People can post their completed works and get opinions.

If that's taken away, people will post the skin somewhere else on the forum so they can still get opinions.

But that's the point of the Mod forum. The Mod Release forum should just be for already completed works that people have already seen and commented on in the Mod forum.

If you make a skin you want to share, you should put it in the mod forum. There people would comment on it and possibly help to make it better. If it is decided to be completed, it should be submitted to staff who would then put it in the mod release forum.

While I agree, that's a lot of unnecessary clutter. Having two topics for nearly every skin is just a lot of unneeded topics.
Most skins posted don't get edited anyway unless there's a major error. And if they do get fixed it's usually "re-released".

The thing I've noticed though, is that the way the mod release forum works, isn't it the same as the mod forum? Or is the mod forum just for like FAQs on modding in general?

Mod forum is a general all-purpose subsection devoted to modding Renegade in any way. Generally, anything posted there is a question or call for opinion.

Mod Release is just a place where finished modifications can be shared with the general public.

Added a "weapon" category.


All the weapons I tagged "other" need fixin' now =S

Filter on other, then it should be rapid to do.

You can also add a thread to multiple categories. Handy for the skinpacks, for example Smile.

Don't worry, I already fixed them and contributed a little today.

Double post, sorry Razz.

I finished the last ones now, though I'd like someone to check if I didn't forget to categorize a couple.
