ok

I glad this will happen. I truly think this will be a great feature for the FAF platform

It still need some DB work server-side, and I guess some correct upload code + a validation protocol, that quite take time, and it's not really a priority for me right now (GW is).

FA patchs are not related to the lobby.

Any news about the mod vault ? Will it be integrated to the next patch ?

At least to be tested and propose change or improvement ?

For the DB you only need the creation script

The best is to use a free one the like mysql and that's it

The database structure is already there (it should be almost the same as the map vault). It needs to be able to recieve uploaded mods, to be able to download mods, to give links to thumbnails, to increase the download counter, manage comments on mods. Again, this is Zep's part. I can't touch the database.

My part is almost done. I'm pretty sure Zep though won't have time to implement the database side of things. So it could still be a while. It doesn't have to coincide with a gameplay patch though, so it can simply slip in between updates.

I will post some screenshots in the external contributors forum soon (I'm not really a graphics whore, so it doesn't look really pretty).

I know I can play mods using the ingame mod manager while the faf patch is active. The easiest way will probably to use this ingame mod manager for the mod vault as well. Just edit the history of the game so that the mod is active in the ingame mod manager and then start the lobby. This should work.

faf is a mod

You can also have in the mod vault all the patch since 3603

And btw if you want to make a mod vault don't assume 80% will be like this 10% like that ... This should be as possible independent of the patching version

No, not really. Most small mods will work without editing (stuff like resource multipliers or new units). As far as I know a mod comes after the faf patch, so it simply overwrites stuff written by the faf mod.
