Will just download if only one file present in the future. Intended to be an extension of the possibilities here rather than an additional step.
Uploading 2 versions and optional files saves bandwidth and requires the user to download less. He can chose the version he wants instead of having to download all.
- That's great! Thanks for responding!
- Admittedly that's true and is certainly a cool update for those with bandwidth limits. My main beef is with the 'extra step' in downloading mods with only one file.
It's fixed now. I intend to write a tutorial after some additional fixes.
nice new feature but it would be really could if i could via the edit file page replace the file(s) with updated versions instead of deleting old file and uploading new one
or was i just to blind and missed it?
I am unsure about this, uplading and then deleting doesnt seem to be so complicated. Plus some people might want to keep old versions for a bit.
Updating the mod description, images and changing the name of the mod now automatically bumps the mod.
The bumping should be gone now.
I looked into the quality of live replacement of file process.
Due to the plugins used I cannot do this easily.
My knowledge regarding those plugins is limited and it would take me long to figure out.
For now I rather focus on the to-do's I am confident that I am able to do.
Whilst the new feature which allows more than 1 file uploaded for a mod sounds cool, for mods which have just one file uploaded (which is/will be like 99% of mods on the site) can the huge download button just simply download the file like it used to do? Instead of opening the new 'Files' tab and then having to click the 2nd download option? It seems a bit redundant, silly and not to mention useless for mods which only one file. And even then, I don't see the issue with only allowing 1 'file' per mod? Got 2 variants of the same mod you want to upload? Put two folders inside one .zip, .rar etc.
