Dwarden Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Can You allow multiple mod files to download from 1 page ...what i got in mind is this : let say mod author decide to release Oblivion mod manager (.omod)version of his mod + normal version of his mod and in actual style it mean 2 entries in TESsourcesimilar for other mods with multiple parts ... but this is probably too big change (need overhaul of system etc) so maybe just workaround - add new part of download page saying "linked items" where mod author can select other files uploaded at TESsource as LINKed to his mod ...(using TESsource file ID number) example there is 3 part texture mod release on TESsource (each part could contain link to another one) also please Can You establish some rules to mod makers about style they distribute mods ? - mod must be packed in archive (zip, rar, 7z) ( this is because Your upload system auto rename file with TESsource ID and name (i know it have reason but for less skilled users it cause confusion as they have for example 2 same mods but different filename / version etc) - mod archive must include readme_modname.txt (again to made life easier for users) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarden Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 one more thought ... what happens with older files ? for example some days ago i downloaded from TESs"1383-Better Thievery-TESSource.esp" i forgot to save description text (exactly that's why i suggest prevent .esp uploading and establish rule with .esp in archive + readme) but now such entry is gone and no idea why / where (like if there was update to mod but they changed name or so) there exist topic but thats all http://forum.gamingsource.net/index.php?sh...025&hl=thievery what happened?
