'Everybody' is probably a good choice.

By the way, the military mod URL is outdated...

Well, I only posted this because I saw him creating a new topic, which I assumed was about his mod.
edit: it is...I do have some judgement...  :angel:

Another Sci-Fi mod, eh? Looks cool Hopefully it's going to be free and that something will be released soon! :D
By anonymousjim This is pretty cool, now I guess I'm not so sad about the other Mars mod being abandoned...

I updated this but, most new mods don't have a download so I didn't add all of them yet.

Okay, this is where I get mixed up. I want to download mods for my recent download of MegaGlest. Thing is, there is wiki links to all this. But, I find this thread as well, so I don't know which is more current and up-to-date. This thread, or those wiki links?

Last thing I want to do is download mods that either don't work, or too out-dated.

One more thing, I've been playing the original Glest. I'd like to have some mods for it, if there are any. Can you point me in the right direction, please?

Thank you.

The wiki should be fairly up to date, but to be certain, the wiki does provide a link to the individual thread here on the forum, which generally always has the most current version.

For old glest I can't think of much other then dwarves, woodsmen and elves, for megapack, get dark magic, woodsmen, all v-bros packs, dwarves, and elves, and japan. You might also want to try military and constellus if you go GAE(Glest Advanced Engine)

Well I guess I know that now, heh. I still haven't gotten around to installing the game yet, those bastards at Dell sent my mom her laptop back (after so-called repairs) only that it's been downgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Vista Home Edition, SP1. I'm so pissed right now. Even worse, I got over 100 updates to install now. I think I'll hold off on all the Glest titles for now.

I gotta be blunt here, the poll sucks. The question is "rank the factions", when all there is a checkbox for each one. Just...sucks. Recommended complete removal, nothing can be created on the board that is good enough for such a thing. Also, is there any point to this topic when there's the Wiki page which does the same thing, but allows anyone to edit?

As well, why are there some mods on that list that aren't even finished, like Glest in Space?

Its not great but not horrible either, I guess its the best we could do unless there is a way to do like star/number ratings for each.  Currently this is more like the most popular mods poll.

Well not everyone uses through the wiki though so having a section on the official forum makes sense.

Technically, I could make a rating system with templates and some clever javascript on the wiki, the only problem is where to put it.

And even though many players don't use the wiki, they should, it's the first result for googling "glest mods" and many similar keywords.

I don't know how much of a pain it would be but what about adding a new colum to mod list with average rateing with a vote button next to it bringing up a pop window?

Maybe it shows up higher on google searches but I still think its a good idea to have on the forums as well. Espically since the discussions about mods happen here and not wiki.

It could be added, yes, but the space there is so cramped already... Would it be better to have it on the mod's specific faction/techtree/map/tileset page, where we could have it in the infobox?

Yea having it in the specific faction/techtree page is a good idea. It may be a bit unfair come to think of it, to have scores posted on mods page, as it would dissuade a larger audience from trying mods out that have lower/underrated scores. Especially since graphics, animation, and sound will be a big part of the score and not everyone has time/ability to do this, yet have a really fun mod. But having ratings would give great overall mods some more recognition, so there should still be some sort of rating.

Ok i'm thinking way to much into this.

Long story short, I agree with having ratings in infobox.

I definitely agree with you there, though, on the other hand, people don't want to "waste time" downloading lower quality mods. I heavily use ratings myself when deciding (I wouldn't use a program on download.com if it was only rated one or two stars unless I really needed it and was sure of myself) and find that they are usually accurate, if enough people vote.

Yes, that means a lower graphics mod might not be rated as well, but, isn't that the point? Unless the mod had something else that made the rater give it a high rating even with those graphics, it simply doesn't deserve a high rating. If you can't invest the time or training to make it look good, surely you don't expect a higher rating. The more investment you put into your mod, the higher your rating. Take a look at your annex, the graphics look fantastic, and it's been in development quite a while, which shows you put a lot of commitment into it, something that deserves a high rating.

I'd have to put more thought into how to do ratings on the rather limited wikia servers, where direct PHP access is a no-go...

I cannot see what the issue is, it's only a poll on an internet forum.

Na, I think its fine on the forums for now, and do a more advanced grading system on wiki.
