ModHub Suggestions
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2023 9:01 pm
I'd like to make a couple of suggestions for ModHub:
1 - Require mods to include a README.txt in the zip file. The purpose is so that the authors of a mod can provide credits for content that is not originally their's - such as a building or other object, or xml script. This way other modders know where the original came from and are able to contact the original authors.
2 - Related to #1, would be to provide a contact link for a mod author for further info about the mod.
The reason this comes to mind is that I am looking into creating a few mods, and being able to contact another mod author for permission to use their content, such as a shed or production mod that would use their graphics, such as a digestate dryer modded to create only digestate from slurry; or a herbicide production mod that would be modded to ethanol production, etc. New modders generally don't know where in-game graphics come from, default Giants or independent mod authors. Contacting a mod author would facilitate the creation of new mods. A link in the ModHub mod author would be very helpful.
