mmmm...sharing

I have a suggestion, and has been probably SUGGESTED many times, but without its own thread.

Sharing...Like, sharing ones mods for example. I have read all these people talking about "I did such and such in MY mod" oh. great, how do i do it? Generally people here share there code and such alot. Which is wonderful, but i think people should submit the ini files so people dont have to wade through umpteen lines of code. I don't even know how to submit mods, let alone if you CAN.. can you?

I used to hate weddings cause all my aunts and grandmas would poke me and say "Your next sonny!" They stopped when I started doing it to them at funerals

I think it is a good thing that we don't have the "Neverwinter Nights" effect going here.

What I am referring to is how with NWN, every random jacko would submit their steaming pile of crap and say "HEY! I MADE A MOD!"

It is far preferably for people to share what they learn and share code, rather than passing around incomplete mods that are definitely not ready for "prime time."

Yeah. True, I got NWN and I looked up "Neverwinter Nights mods" on google

The problem which impedes mod-sharing is that there is no location for the posting and storage of people's mods. That means anyone who successfully made a mod is generally limited to no more than "Woo!", unless they just happen to have control of an internet webserver to post things on.

Here's an example of modding guidelines (how to name, etc). Some of it won't apply, but the general ideas are good, such as info on a mod (ini replace, campaign, etc).

That sucks. We need a good freelancer mod website where you can submit mods themselves instead of just posting code. Unfortunately I dont know how to host a like... 1 gig or so partition for my website :-( I do own a domain. I think I'm supposed to use...Apache or something. I know how to partition but as to Hosting I have NO hope in hell unless someone helps me. I'd be happy to host.

Update: I asked someone and yes it is Apache webserver or something. Anyone have a clue as to how I use it? Thanks.

I'm no professional and I may just be blowing smoke, but I think Apache only runs on a *nix system, if you have a box that runs it, great. If not...?

I think I saw a tutorial on how to make Apache run on Windows one time, heh, but I forget where I saw it at. You might try looking at www.astalavista.com , they have alot of nice tutorials there.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Any help is useful. I know for certain that Apache works on Windows cause I downloaded it. Can't get the bloody F-ing thing to work though. I'll go look at Google. Astalvista? or Altavista? I'll check thanks for the help mate. I do have Unix but I hate it.

Post Sun Mar 16, 2003 3:25 am

It IS www.astalavista.com , I swear! Good luck finding what you need.

Post Sun Mar 16, 2003 4:01 am

Yeah. I found the site, been looking around and all I found was um... tutorials about how to hack hotmail I'll keep looking there and on google. Once I get it up I'll post about it. It wont be lancermods.com or anything. malcolmduncan.ca i believe Oh well. My personal website. I'll just keep looking...

Update: No tutorials that I can find. Well, not for windows. I despise Unix. Here come the flames... shouldn't have said that...
