Modules requiring mods
« on: July 12, 2012, 05:33:48 pm »


               Are people OK with downloading modules that require downloading some other haks/mods to work?

Currently I'm building one using CEP 2.4, NWNCQ and two small haks I chopped up myself... are people OK with that, or is having a laundry list of mods to download a nuisance that will turn people away? 'Image

               I'm ok with it, even happy as the old contents(tilesets especially) get old after some time.

               Actually, I think I've changed my mind about nwncq, as unfortunately it causes too much breakage of CEP tilesets...

               I actually prefer modules with custom content. It really helps change things up and I love to see how people use custom content. I'm not much of a content creator so I like to use stuff I find on the Vault that haven't gotten much use. It maybe a little more confusing to install the module but it's almost always worth it. Try to remember that you're creating a module in a game that basically requires people to download a number of things anyway, most players won't mind taking extra steps to download your custom content.

How far into development are you with your module? I look forward to perhaps getting to play it.

               Don't forget to make it clear exactly what needs to be downloaded to make your module work. Providing links anywhere the site doesn't automatically is even better.

               Admittedly when I look for modules to try, a module with too many downloads- especially too many downloads from too many different places- discourages me from trying the module.  So the laundry list of mods would turn me away.

I don't think four is excessive, though.  I don't have a clear number in mind as to how many is too many, but I think four isn't too many.

               I have no problem at all with that. Put in your mod all the haks and tilesets that you want. :happy:

               I'd far rather spend an hour downloading a really cool, unique-looking module than five minutes downloading something really derivative. CC is brilliant if it's used properly - go nuts!
