Catagorizing Mods..

[Rising_General]

Here is me thinking, currently there are many great mods out. Some make the game more historically accurate,others more interesting, and some are just plain fun.

Having gone through the nightmare of trying to sort through them all, wondering which one belonged to which catagory, what quality it was,wondering what others thought of it,and if they could rate it how would they?.

Would it be possible,or when would it be possible. to catagorize, sort, and perhaps arange a brief description along with the ability for others to rate it. Following along the lines of Total War Assembly's excellent war academy section.

The talent is there.. there are some incredible Mods, along with some needing that little more.As I said having them catagorized would be a huge step in the right direction.I greatly apreciate the amount of mods on The Org, however sorting though them in a trial-and-error proccess gets annoying after awile..

Perhaps writing a few comprehensive How to guides for those wanting to install them, or create mods would be nice as well...

Its just a Idea for orginization and helping others enjoy the tremendous modding capability of Medieval..

Let me know what you think and if we can get a plan underway.

JS,


(I thought i would post this here also to allow disscussion for some of the newer players)

I would think a description is needed at the very minimum. barocca would be the answer man as far as what could be done.

Tell me about the grief: I did not MOD my MTW more then the projectilestats and some prod and building stuff, but I did it on my own (I still created a txt file to remember what I changed and made backup copies) so I know what is going on.

I heavilly MOD my Ghost Recon though, and this IS a pain to install something that you do not know nothin about... It'd be nice to have some voting ability to show what stands out...

I'd like to 2nd the idea, as the download section at least needs a discription section. User ratings would be gravy on top of that.

[Alrowan]

not a bad idea.. though i rarely play SP these days

[Dr_No]

Indeed a short description would assist many of us i think... if someone was to do that they'd get a huge thumbs up from me.... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

This is not the first time I'v seen this asked.

No takers as yet.

This is not barocca's brief nor mine.

We could do it out of the goodness
of our hearts but we don't have any so tough. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

That is a fulltime job.
If it were to be done properly
in the spirit of the request.

To say a short description will do
well try the title.

I'd like to see it too but I'm not going to it
are you?
Even if I did do it
( which would mean playing every mod as it comes)
the conflict it would cause over my interpretation
of the mods would be a nightmare for me.
And I don't have the time to deal with it.
I can't even describe my own mods properly

Barocca has wanted to do this for a while
but he only has two hands aswell.

The idea is sound and worthy.
It's just a big never ending job
that everyone want's done but nobody want's
to do it.

If you think I'm overstating the issue
then please send me a description
of all the mtw mods and I'll
retract every word http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
