Searching for a mod in download section

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!)


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Now I want everything. Can one of you help?

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.

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.

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

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 ?
