Necro Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 we've been told it's very mod friendly...but is it? i mean the only way to install a mod is through the crute xml folder which means one mod at a time, you can't really switch mods either and online - no way of knowing whos running what mod so it ends up being that you can't run any mod so, is this support coming in a patch soon? or were we misslead, or do we simply not see the mechanism in place?

Jameswgm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I doubt Petroglyph will provide the community with any help for altering vanilla EAW. It simply isn't their job to make patches devoted to modders. However, if the mod community is working like others, a "Mod-Switch" application will be created, I'm sure I've already seen an alpha version of such a program on these forums. It's up to "us" to sort out mod's not Petroglyph's. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddus Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Tools to add more contents in the game will be released in a patch. But which patch ? we don't know. You'll have to wait like all of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameswgm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Siddus; I interpretted Necro's question to be based more around the end user of mod's rather than the actual modders themselves. I think between us we've answered his question from both perspectives! James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 no i mean most games have an interface like gamefolder/mods/mod1 and ingame u can chose mods as such mods work online and u can see what mods if any a server is running we currently don't have any of that, and it shouldnt be up to the modders if the game is supposedly mod friendly.

Jameswgm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 "Mod Friendly" can be interpreted in different ways; it could mean the code & files are easily modified which I believe from the emergence of a growing mod community to be the case. Also the fact they have already created mod's after only a couple of weeks. To me, admittedly from a non-modders point of view, EAW seems extremely mod friendly. It's not difficult to easily change between mod's, what's wrong with this? http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=2232.0 James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plokoon9619 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Mod friendley please it takes forever to get someone a mod to play on then you gotta tell them how to do everything. If it was mod friendly we would have auto dloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameswgm Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I still hold with my arguement that it's not Petroglyph's problem. It's just laziness on the part of the user, I don't expect a game development company to promote the use of third party modifications, especially when it seems most attention has been devoted to the Single Player campaigns. Their aim is to sell the vanilla game to the general public. I suppose you'll want a dev team member to come and install the game for you next :-\ James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 it IS petro's problembecause they SHOULD have had a builtin mod loader like most games now do sinple betweem options and multiplayer there should have been load custom game for example and in gamedata/ there shoulda been mods/ folder. that way mods will work online and not be completely useless!
