The Kit Pack was released on February 28th.

Also, thanks for my ban. That was awesome.

I was asked not to place anything on the front page until Seifer was ready. That happened on March 29th.

Cheers for taking such a vested interest in the mod Ice, seeing as you revived your own thread a full two weeks your own last post.

 

 

Still, I would take your sentiment more seriously if you weren't such an annoying troglodyte or if it was expressed in a manner that elicited a warm response.

 

Still, I'll saunter over to PPG next time and let you know when the next one is out eh?

Hey, I don't write the humor, I just point it out. It's like free dinner theater.

Guys, you banned him for explaining how to release mods? Dumb. I think he's being fairly generous, given that I don't, in fact, give a shit if anybody plays your mods or not.

Sim, we did no such thing. All we did is make it impossible for him to guest post, and it was for trolling on our forums. As guest posting in the non-mod forums has now been disabled, the partial ban has been cancelled.

 

I should also point out that I likewise don't care about modding popularity. We're putting out mods because they're fun to make and we enjoy playing with them, not to become popular.

[SimDing0]

Okay, thank you for the explanation.

When you've released a mod and you're making the announcements at various places, it's always a good idea to give a brief description of what the mod is about. Just a message saying the mod's name and a link to the forum often will not attract many people's attention enough to check the mod out.

I hope WeiDU is exempt from this rule

[icelus]

I would say things like WeiDU, DLTCEP, etc. don't really need descriptions, as they're pretty much exclusively for modders. The average forum browser won't need to download them.

 

Mods, however, are a different matter, and just giving the name (especially if it's vague or obscure or what have you) is to be frowned upon.

@Ice: you also forgot to mention that it helps to actually say what your mod, uh, mods in its forum as well.

[icelus]

Yes, that's a good one, too. Relying on flashy words like "enhanced" or "improved" aren't enough.
