If there is no more vault maybe we could open up a section on the forums for threads about the mods, with DL links.

I like the mod vault very much, even though I don't use it much ... it is awesome.

Hi,
I think the mod vault is a great addition to FAF (another one !) but unfortunately it doesn't work properly, the function that allows to see mods by their upload date doesn't work at all, so you can' really see if there has been a new mod added to the vault or not. Moreover the vault is clutered with multiple versions of the same mod (v1, v2, v3 etc...) which doesn't help visibility either.

Hope this can be solved the mod vault is a really useful addition.

Edit : and now the mod vault seems to be not working at all for the moment !!!

The name of the folder and the mod has no version number in it. I went through the procedure you described for updating when they were WIP, and it didn't work. It came up with all kinds of odd shit.

I want them deleted because if I can upload this new one they are redundant WIPs that I couldn't update correctly.

EDIT:

Dumb apostrophe, I should have known better. Right, the mod is uploaded now as ShadowKnight Fixes, should be V1.9. I ask you to delete those others because they are now just clutter. Up to you if you don't care about clutter, but in general I try to keep everything neat and tidy on my PC

Don't use any special character (like ' ) in your mod name.

Don't put any version either. That's why there is a version field in the mod_info.lua.

New error this time, something along the lines of 'The file 'ShadowKnight's Fixes V0.001 is already in the database'.'

A search of the vault does not show it, however.

By the way, if you decide to ask your question properly, I could answer you.

The question being : How should I upload my new version correctly?

1. Generate a new UID.
2. Keep the same name, but increment the version in the mod_info.lua.
3. Folder name doesn't really matter, but it should be the same name too.

In the server, it will be zipped under the name : .v.zip.
ie.
asfmod.v0001.zip.
That name MUST be unique.

And no, I won't remove your mods. Don't upload them if you don't want to share them.

Except that if that's the case, you need to scrap the entire vault because the programming is shite.

I've re-foldered, re-named the folder, re-named the mod identity in mod_info.lua, created about a dozen new UIDs, everything. Even the content is something I've not uploaded before, because while the changes are the same, it now hooks destructively, so it's much, much bigger, containing all the unit data. There is no possibility, a 0% chance, that this is already in the database. I have no clue what it can possibly be recognising.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and can you delete the old versions please, I don't want people downloading that crap any more.

ASF Mod V1
ASF Mod V0
Beam Mod V0
Beam Mod V1
Beam Mod 1.1 V1
Beam Mod V0.2 V0

Yeah, all those can bite the dust, as it were.

I don't have any to give you.

If it's say it's in the vault, it's probably that something with the same name, file name or UID is already in it.

this behavior is even worse than having no mod vault (at least in the long run).

I will remove it in the next build.

example:
i am a person, who likes to play a game for some months, and after that play another game. i found a great mod for supcomFA and uploaded it to the mod vault. i played this mod with a couple of friends a couple of times, then i found another new interesting game and started playing it.

after a while, the mod vault does not show this mod anymore... most people start to forget the mod.

somebody else comes along and finds the same mod again, he wants to play it. he wants to upload it to the mod vault. this is not possible. he cannot play this mod with faf...

----------------------------------

please show always ALL the mods (or the lastest versions of them) in the mod vault. you can introduce "pages" as in the map vault, if you want to.
not showing a mod (and therefore making it impossible for people to download them) is a really bad thing!
