Kinda in-your-face, but in a way that is clearly helpful.
Yeah I sorta use non politically correct (if I have any idea what that means) terms when I call people lamers if they release broken addons and so on, but that's how I feel about it. What else would you be if you release something utterly stupid which so easily could be avoided. Also when I feel passionate about something, I speak up and not holding back. On the other hand if I have nothing to add, you don't see me spamming the forums for useless nonsense.
Dunno, I see that my tone and "attitude" is still within good limits as I want to make my point across for the newbies who otherwise might think for example that "why would I bother doing one extra LOD or use rar instead of exe installer?"
You do kinda acknowledge there's a balance between the "OMG look at this awesomeness" type hyping and bona fide publicity.
Hmm not sure, I mean with the hyping like those mod's that has XX amount of pages in forum topics where fanbois post dancing bananas after dancing bananas... and then only few months later the mod dies. Or that mod hypes themselves to be the super cool and pro excellence, only to release utter trash addons which are clued together with bubble gum by some retarded 12 year old. I could name names as examples, but naturally I don't wish to offend anyone or pretty much act against my own advices from the mod maker article hehe.
But perhaps you guys already know enough of these high roller mod's which come down in flames when the reality of release time hits
It seems like every week I find mods or addons that have been out a long time that I just didn't hear about, or forgot. People publicizing their work can make sure it gets picked up in searches, too.
To me its not about addon features, its the theme I'm interested. Gimme a ground breaking super elite 1.1km x 1.1km terrain and I'm snoozing off in front of the keyboard, but gimme a 102km x 102km low quality terrain and I'm hyperventilating of excitement.
But that's just me, maybe there are a lot of people who don't care about addon theme but just if its suitable for specific task or something like this.
Anyways.
In a nutshell I just wanted to have one solid place to read all about modding, which I can then link to people who do bad addons / releases (which seems to happen weekly, if not daily basis hehe, sigh), a link which should help them to improve their skills and releases.
