Will There Ever Be ...

To the Moderaters could there be a Sticky for GWX2.0 compatible mods only ?

There's been many posts about concerns of CTD's.

The mods are scattered all over the place again and some new GWX2 mods don't even state that their for GWX2 until a crew of peeps ask.

Just a thought.

Well, there is a problem with that idea.

Lots of people are making mods for GWX that FUNCTION but are not truly compatible. IE: Breaking a feature that does not cause a CTD.

Furthermore, depending on the function that is broken, we may or may not comment on it. For example, users may typically remain blissfully unaware that "mod x" removes the sounds that whales make... only to later report it as a "GWX BUG" expecting us to fix it... which is unreasonable. That responsibility resides with the person making mods for GWX.

From the first post of the GWX sticky thread:

"Notice to Grey Wolves Expansion users:
Use of 'unofficial' add-ons for The Grey Wolves Expansion are not supported by the GWX development team and their use is NOT RECOMMENDED for the inexperienced or casual user. The Grey Wolves development team cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects caused by the subsequent modification of any files made by other modders.

We reserve the right to notify GWX users of any additional mod that breaks GWX features as part of the user support we offer, as well as to recommend a course of action to correct matters for the user.

Secondarily, we cannot be expected to fix 'unofficial' mods placed on top of GWX. "

Please don't break GWX, we devs want to play it too and we can't while we have our user support caps on.

Maybe we should use proper definition to describe GWX 2.0 Mods by greywolves and GWX 2.0 compatible Mods by everybody else untill GWX team certifies it. What do you think? :hmm: So those who use Compatible mods are at risk?
