Anyone want to help compile standalone mod release?
« on: 30 September 2011, 09:13:03 »
Hi, I haven't released the scifi pack or cold war pack because it requires 3.5.3 functionality.

One way to get it properly released on moddb etc, is to package them as a standalone game. We all know the pros and cons etc.

But I don't have the expertise (or curiosity) to do the configuration, compiling etc. Does anyone want to join forces to release these as a standalone (maybe both tech trees together)?

For reasons stated in a previous topic about releasing standalone mods, I oppose the idea, for reasons that could be seen there; and won't even bother copying them here. The cons simply outweigh the pros.

Not the only way, though.
