I miss SH5 Mod Workshop

kylania · 04-05-10, 05:33 PM

I miss SH5 Mod Workshop. I used to visit it every time I came here and refreshed. No longer can I come to "Silent Hunter 5" for all my Silent Hunter 5 needs, now I need to go to "Silent Hunter 3-4-5" instead.

I've never visited the Multiplayer or Dutch forums, yet there they are, making me scroll down instead of giving me a quick link to mods, which have disappeared several clicks away now.

Any way of turning off the sub forum list since it isn't useful to me anymore? I poked around User CP, but can't seem to find that kind of option.

yeah, screw the Dutch section

...I want mods shop back too!

Nordmann · 04-05-10, 05:58 PM

Yes, it was in a much more convenient place.

Sailor Steve · 04-05-10, 06:02 PM

It has its own place now, right below SH5 on the main page. I use the 'Forum Jump' thingie at the bottome of the page to move to my next target when I'm done reading. Wassa matta you?

Paajtor · 04-05-10, 06:32 PM

It's very simple..I'm used to loggin in on the SH-version I'm playing...or probably will go playing anytime soon

So now, SH5 is the place to be...along with a nice & handy mods-section on top, pls.

The "Last Post" quicklink drew my attention more than once...wouldn't have seen it, without the mod-link at the top of the SH5 section.

Wow, I am surprised to see this. I haven't had my desktops even plugged in for the last 16 months, but was getting ready to get all that back together and purchase SH5 after a couple of more months. But ... if there is no ground central for the modders, it will be a real hassle to follow who out there is making the game great.

I hope this essential forum can be added, and soon! I worry for SH5's future in this absence.

Edit: I misinterpreted this - now I have found the SH5 Mods Workshop, there is light!

Just have 2 links .

Yeah, it's still there, it's just been separated from the main game forum, as it has been for SH3 and SH4, but as I was trying to point out and others have separating it like that really hurt's it's visibility.

It's cool for the older games since they aren't growing as much mod wise, but there's new mods or revisions coming out hourly for SH5 and having them show up right above this forum was infinitely helpful. Now I have to go out of my way to check if anything new has happened.

Yet I can tell at a glance if the Dutch have said anything new (Geen belediging bedoeld!) or some new MP thread was touched. Not helpful to me, especially since the amount of moderators for those forums make that section take up 1/3 of the initial screen space.

It was cool when the mod workshop was there and you could rclick on it, then scroll down to see what the latest DRM complaint thread was, now you gotta go back or scroll all the way down the page to get to the mods.

Yep, and the traffic has been weak at the modshop as of late, I am one for putting it back under SH5 sub forums ;]

ditto.

I liked it the other way better. It should be that way for all the games. That way you dont have to "leave" the game's forum area and jump all the way back to the main forum listing.

The traffic is weak at the mod section because there is a patch coming in a few days . After it is released it will be every man for themselves .
