Hi everyone,

We've made a slight modification to the website, more accurately to the Mods section, in order to make your research easier.

What we've done is completely rework the sections so that they are now the following:

• Archived Mods: Modifications that were never completed but the author has released some sort of beta version for the public to download.
• Beta Mods: Modifications that are currently being worked on and have released a public
• Dead Mods: Modifications that never released a public beta and are no longer being worked on by the author.
• Finished Mods: Modifications that are considered a finished or near-finished product by the author and will not have any other large updates.
• Work In Progress Mods: Modifications that are currently being worked on but have not released a public version yet.

The downside is that all mod owners need to see which categories they are in, so for the next couple weeks (at most) it'll be quite hard to find all the mods in their correct category, but we are certain that this can only lead to better results for you as you search things.

I'd like to thank Rob38, community manager, for his work on rethinking categories and 2playgames for coding them and for all of his hard work on this site.

Feel allowed to give some feedback to all of us by posting in this thread, whether you like the new system or whether not.

cheers everyone

I think this was a much needed change! I don't have any problems with it. Thanks goes out to Rob38 and 2playgames!

Good news

I took a count..

44 mods we have on the site, and all (I think) is in a category..
Now, what you can do, is find your mod, and see if it's in the right one

RC Mod is in the correct place

And yes this category thing is a 're-organization' idea and really should help stop people from asking "Is this mod out yet?"

[druchii22]

It's an excellent idea. It's really easier to look for mods with that new system. Thank you Rob38 and 2playgames.

Why is Visions still in the archived mods area? Isn't that one designated for mods that actually have work out but are dead?

[Rob38]

Didn't Visions release an early beta? If not, than it can go in the dead mod category.

[Elvenlord]

Yes, it did actually.
There it is

[CIL]

But it's not there anymore. It hasn't been in a long time. And it never will be. Visions had a release, but took it back. So technically, it has no downloads and is not being worked on. That should mean the dead mods category. When Matias took back the public dowload, he did the opposite of adding it, thus negating the release.
