Thanks! This is a nice surprise.

Edit: hmmm how do you delete old mods from the list?

Awesome. Can't wait until people start uploading maps. I'll be all over it.

Actually, I think I'll upload the map I've made sometime this weekend. I'll need to add quests first though, as I was playing without them and they seem to count as "objects" (I set the spawn no objects flag).

Cool.

Hooray for mods!

One thing I don't get is if I have version 1.0 up on the site and people can download it, that's fine. And then I edit the entry and upload another file. Now people can't download it anymore? They can't download 1.0 because it's not there anymore, and they can't download the next version until it's been "approved"?

Can I get the special access too please?

Not really, if you consider the reason they don't just put everything up there right away.

This is going to make me sound like a douche so wear your kindest reading glasses please.

The point of not approving everything instantly is that they can't trust everything that gets uploaded. They need to manually go through it to look for illegal stuff and harmful stuff. I guess Frogboy "trusts" me because I've been modding E:wom/FE for over two years. So really it's a matter of establishing a positive record.

So the reason they don't just approve everything immediately is because they don't want to approve everything immediately.

Edit: for the record, I still need to go through an approval process. So no special treatment.

Maybe not my new mod:

Star Wars: Twilight of Aladdin and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Thought they had you setup to bypass that?

I wonder what the process even entails. Does someone physically go through the files?

I've had to put up a new version quickly to fix critical bugs in the past, so I'm pretty sure they're not being tested in game. If not, then wouldn't some kind of automated virus/malware scan do the trick? That wouldn't take 24 hours to perform, and modders can get critical new updates out quicker.

agreed, and it has been similar since 2009, which is WHY I do not put my sins utilities and reference files in wincustomise.

harpo

I'm sure some kind of moderation is needed. Is there some way we can streamline this?

What's the typical rules for allowing/disallowing an upload?

Well, I'll use it as a backup, but not my main way of distribution then. If people are willing to wait, they can also get it from the mod library. Not a huge deal.
