ElderMoloch Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) Hello! Sorry, I don't know, if it's appropriate section. but I have a question regarding posting mods on Nexus. Not long ago new info was announced regarding points, which recommended to not separate mods, when possible. I have mod, which is fully integrated compilation of my mods, which is also my main project https://www.nexusmods.com/doom/mods/67. Eventually (currently working on it), I plan to expand this mod greatly with maps addition, but I want to keep previous version of a mod without maps too. Should I keep both versions of this mod as main file and same mod or can I make these versions of mod separate, since they'll be very different?

Guest deleted156886133 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Will the new main file contain the maps or will the maps addition be an optional supporting mod? Whichever the case, I'd say keep it all on the same page but I'm uncertain as to what you're trying to do. Maybe you could elaborate on what 'very different' means. However, I don't think it necessarily falls in line with 'mod splitting' or 'modlist stuffing'. But take a look at the Prohibited Activities section on the updated Donation Points System Rules page.

Thank you for your reply! I plan to post it as maps+current Overhaul content as 1 mod/ 1 main file. Old version of Ovehaul would be separate version either as separate mod or separate main file. Later I plan to post maps mod separately, but it won't be supported mod (since balance is made for current Overhaul mod and I want to post it separately only just in case someone wants to play just maps). Also maps mod will affect files, which already exist in Overhaul, so I can't post maps only and current files separately as 2 main files (aka they can't be combined without proper integration in 1 mod). Very different means they would be played very differently and have different balance/gameplay. Current Ovehaul mod is made for vanilla maps. Maps mod+current Overhaul will have some changes to balance, would have way more enemies, changes to pick ups, shortcuts, accessiblity of upgrades, changes to platformng etc. It will also include new enemy and enemy variations from other mod author assets (I have permission and this mod assests are free to use). Yeah, I was concerned regarding mod splitting. I just don't understand, when it's fine to post collection of mods or split mods. All current mods, which included in Overhaul were originally created as separate mods. But with maps mod or with my desire to post changes from 1 mod for 2 weapons as separate mods I just don't know, is it fair thing according to rules or I break something. I looked at it and as said, I'm not sure with part regarding mod splitting. Edited June 2 by ElderMoloch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted156886133 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Yeah, I'd give it it's own page. Your current already has one main file plus 14 optional files, 15 total. If you add all of the above, then you're just asking for confused user comments. I got confused just reading the above. It looks like quite the project though. Good luck.

I'll make them separate then. Yeah, I have big plans for it. Hope I'll finish 1st layer within year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
