Endless Sky Mod Site Collaboration.

[Ker]

After discussing the options with MZ on Github (see issue below) a decision has been made. Legolas's github repository - with collaboration from myself and tak - will end up being the mod repository.

Old post:

I posted this issue[github.com] on github basically covering everything.

The long and short of it is that I can host a website for this game.

As in I am currently talking to a friend of mine who happens to be a webhost, and we discussed some of my other projects as well as this one. He's willing to cut me a deal on hosting a permanent website that allows private uploads/downloads for mods, has a unified forum, as well as being a fully functional "exactly what you would expect out of a professional game's website" website.

I will be working with Legolas, Takarada, as well as possibly other bros on getting it up to snuff, as well as my webhost friend who is a professional in this field.

I'm not really looking for feedback, or anything, but it would be welcome. I'm only really posting this thread here because this is the closest thing I can do to a "news" announcement. If this is approved by MZ and this goes well, I will edit this OP and its name to reflect the changes.

A mod archive?

I could create an archive/website that would work as a repo for mods. However, people wouldn't be able to add submission themselves.
However, it would still be like a mod site and archive.
Submissions would be emailed to me.


How would everyone like that?

I would rather you allow self uploads so that modders can update their content. I was considering doing something similar using invisionfree as a temporary repo

[Disiuze]

Or is it your opinion?

[Ker]

Its a good idea. Make it able to scale, fit to screen, and mobile friendly and i will put it in my some of my game launcher designs.

But as stated. You could have people sign in, trusted modders could update and upload their own mods.

I was gonna host it on a GitHub site because it's free, so no accounts.

[Ker]

I was going to host my version on invisionfree, which is also free.

We could also, ya know, make a real website for it.

[Storm Crow]

so this would basically be the mods website that mz has in the roadmap

[Storm Crow]

wasn't there a thread about that a while ago

Money makes the world go round!
All this scratch'n's making me rich!

[Storm Crow]

there we go

[Ker]

Probably.

[Disiuze]

What makes this different is that only the approved persons can add mods.
