A Desperate Plea to MM for Better Mod Support

Ditto.

It's also not that hard to do.

DLing and installing the mods right now isn't that difficult, even a moron like me has figured it out. So while I agree that it would be nice for MM to do this, I would much rather see their very limited man hours devoted to tcp/ip and improved AI performance.

Vir! You have made a mess of this post once again, now give me a large cup of brivari so that I may begin to forget the bad times and remember the glory of the great Centauri Republic.

I, as a diligent modder, who also would like to easily use other people's mods, would definitely like to see something along these lines. As it stands now, it is hard to switch between my mods, other mods, and the basic game.

So, I would love to see this!

Londo,

That may well be true but what about when the next MM patch comes out and you have to reinstall your changed files all over again?

This change wouldn't be that hard for MM to do and would greatly simplify things. JMHO.

I agree completely with you ColdSteel. I have had a similar idea simmering at the back of my mind since the dawn of time (when I found out se4 ws coming and could be moded ) but never bothered to put it into words. Have you mailed this to MM?

And another thing, savegames should also tell you what mod they are in when you load them. Maybe they should be saved in a savegame folder under the appropriate mod, or better yet, in folder named atfer the mod under the main savegame folder.

Jubala,

Yes, I did mail it off to MM today. Your suggestion does sound good too. They could just stick the name of the mod as identified in the mod header file into the savegame as another variable. Easy to do except it may break savegame compatibility between Versions.

Maybe you could pass that suggestion on to them? I think it would be good if they heard support for this whole idea from multiple people.
