BOARD DESCRIPTION
Complimentary board for content modders to host dev threads for toolset mods they intend on releasing publicly. Communicate information, find testers, release Betas, etc.
DISCUSSION GUIDELINES
Modders, please keep the following in mind when using this board:
1. This is not a technical support board. Provide support for your mod -- once released -- on its hosting site. Sidebar: Tumblr is a blog and Mediafire is a file sharing and storage site. These are not proper hosts for a mod. Do your users a favor and host your mod on a hosting site created for that purpose. ModDB, Nexusmods, etc. This helps lessen your responsibility for support by allowing the community to field questions.
2. If development for your mod has been inactive for a period of one year, we will assume the mod is no longer being developed and the thread will be locked. If you wish to resume development with the same thread, just pop us a PM and we'll get it unlocked ASAP. That said, it isn't a bad idea to start a new thread under those circumstances -- especially for a new release. Modding tools change, ideas become more refined, etc.
3. When your mod is released, please put a [RELEASED] tag in front of the thread title. Please also post an announcement in the Mods Spotlight announcement. Let others know about all of your hard work
4. Feel free to start a new thread when developing a subsequent release of your mod. If development is extremely active, thread length can get a bit unwieldy,so this can be handy. Just make sure the version is clear in the thread title. The old thread can then be locked.
Note: If you are a texture/mesh modder, we do not support full development threads for these types of mods due to the fact that the toolset is not used for development -- only for installation. However, you are free to use the Textures and Meshes area to pop up some WIPs for feedback. Upon initial or subsequent releases, we encourage you to post an announcements about your new mods in the Mod Spotlight announcement. We appreciate your understanding.
