Searching for a mod in download section

[Contact]

It's a bit confusing now to look for a mod you want to download. Since now there are subfolders on which you have to click to be able to see what kind of mods are inside.

It takes more time also. Not sure about the others but I was more satisfied in seeing all mods in one long single list..

Previously you could also see what new mods has been added just by looking at the top of every category. Now it's a trouble..

There aren't very many sub-categories, and they are devoted to specifics like skins and ships. Would you like to have just mods, with everything for every game in one huge list?

Well said SS.

I felt the old way was a PITA.
It took someone updateing it which was
never as fast as we would have liked.
(Blast you real life!)
:nope:

Plus the links could and would
(Just when you really needed them!)
go 'POOF'
:o

Change for changes sake is worthless.
This change is Gold!!
:yeah:

I like the new system. The search function is your friend. :yep:

Ok, when you click on SH3 there isn't sorted mods which are ment to be for stock and which for GWX 3.0. It's all in one place and is messy..

And search function helps only if you know what you're looking for :)

The new system is Good, but always room for improvements.

I am sure as time goes on the level of detail will increase as will the overall organization.

The download section is only a few weeks old

[Shantyman]

I like the new system. It makes you go through the downloads by category. If they weree just all listed together I think it would be difficuult to pick out the mods you are interested!

A great asset to the group in my opinion!

If you remember our old list of mods it was sorted in category's as well. The wise side of it was you could find everything you need in one list without switching from one window to another.

Some mods haven't made it to the new system yet.

Others in the old mod forum (SHIII) lead to deadend.

Most of us know what we are looking for...

Even when you know the mod but can't remember how it is named ?

We discussed the possibility of having a separate section for different supermods, but then decided that having 'Graphics Mods for GWX 2.1', 'Sound Mods for NYGM 1.7', 'Gameplay Mods for WAC' and 'Other Mods for RUB' would be even messier. We've asked modders to say what supermods their new mods are for in the titles, but going beyond that would be a nightmare for us and for you.

The key to that is to just ask. There will always be somebody who knows what it is and will say so. Even "I wish there was a mod that did this"-type questions usually get answered.

I think it is not necessary to start sorting all supermods in categorys at once. It would be enough to begin from GWX, since this supermod is most popular we have. I would recommend to exclude stock Sh3 mods from GWX mods for a starter.

Why do we have to leave a mess in our download section when we can make it more comfortable to use ? :cool:

You want me to change it back :O:

We're always open to improving the system, but you know, it's not possible to please all the people all the time.

Hello, first real post here.
I need to know which mods work for GWX3 and which do not. Will every mod I find for SHIII work or just the ones that say for specificly for GWX?

What added ship mods? Uniforms? Radar? Arrrrrrrr......my head hurts thinking of all of those beautifull pieces of art I have been missing out on all these years.

See I have been playing on my lap top for years, never really knowing how bad my graphics were. I'm talking bad, no way it should even work but it did.

Then I stumbled in here and looked at the screnshots, then videos, then the greatest of all GWX. I placed my order for a new computter the next day.

Now I want everything. Can one of you help?

Oh...and if any of you guys that make these mods are reading this...


THANK YOU SO MUCH...
the changes take a game and make it an experience

In this situation I bet voting would help :cool:

Don't speak for me. :nope: I didn't give you my proxy vote. :stare:

Sailor Steve said just ask. Your post is a reason not to ask. :down:

He said "most", that was not including you.

I think the problem is, there has never been a coordinated system by modders to include the core info in a structured way. Many people make a mod and do not include a readme. To answer your question, Will every mod I find for SHIII work or just the ones that say for specificly for GWX? You will need to read the mod description and see what the author has to say. Most mod authors will mention GWX compatibility in their description.

[FIREWALL]

It was still a rude statement. It fished for a bad response and got one. :yep:

[Sgtmonkeynads]

yeah, I just spent all night at work looking and trying to sort them out on my own. Wow! My eyes hurt now but when all of them are instaled it will be worth it.

Thanks again guys.

[Onkel Neal]

What I can do is go through the list like you did, add a keyword to all the GWX compatible files in the description, such as GWXCOMPAT and then a search will pull them all up in a minute. Thanks for the idea :salute:

About how many did you find? You wouldn't happen to have them stored in one folder where you could snap a screenshot of their names and send to me, would you? :DL

the SEARCH DOWNLOADS also sux. For instance try looking for OLC there: type olc and hit search. You will see "No files matched your query". The same goes for OLC Gold. No results. I was lucky my third time when I searched for word "Gold" alone.

It means if you lucky enough you might really find what you're looking for..

Well, you may be having trouble with the single line of instructions:
Type in your search with keywords or phrases separated by commas

Now, try entering OLC, Gold ... oh, there it is! :haha:

Yeahhh.. what can I say.. While beeing sober you won't understand it :haha:

:hmmm: That's a step backward! This version of vBulletin does not allow wildcard characters in the search field.

You remember, search strings such as OLC*, * being your fourth letter. That sux!

Lets be off to see what the vBulletin bulletin forums say about this...................:)

Edit - This wont work for the Downloads section but for a general Subsim search, use this code in Google:

site:www.subsim.com olc

or

site:www.subsim.com GWX

This way you are not restricted to a 4 letter min. (Note Subsim auto converts URL to a link, just type as you see ;))
