http://isiforums.net/f/downloads.php A simple single location for people to find mods. If you want, you can link the download button to your forum thread in here which talks about your mod and obviously allows downloading. Please don't post anything in there that someone can't actually download yet. There's some guidance text at the top of the page.
LMAO well this should take care of the old rFactorc*ntral.... Happy to see this.. and seriously the best location!! Silly question to TIM. will you guys be "policing" the content prior to allowing the links? You should also add an area in that space for Skin uploads and downloads.. Just an idea.
Yes, you can edit. You can also do quite a lot of formatting in the post as well: http://isiforums.net/f/downloads.php?do=file&id=27
We won't be policing before, frankly I just wouldn't have the time, but there is a 'report' link in every page, and I'd remove it if told to. I'm also asking people to only upload their own mods. "offline" skin file sharing is probably going to change a bit.
They'll be outside of the rfcmp and rfmod for offline usage as well as online. You'll effectively be able to share a carset, for a car. Meaning you won't need to see leagues repackaging things, etc, anymore.
one request I would make is that there be a five star rating system added ... isn't a problem at the moment, but think a few years down the line when there are potentially hundreds of vehicles and tracks in there of varying quality. Having users be able to click a star between 1 and 5 would make it easier for folks to avoid downloading the lower quality stuff if they want to avoid it. EDIT: DOH! I just noticed that you actually DO have a star rating system
I wonder if it might not be a good idea to actually host the mod for download on ISI servers somewhere (or something). Most of these mods are using sites like media fire and the like. Those sites delete content after a period of time. I realize that it might require some diskspace ... possibly many 10s of GB over time.... The alternative is that some of this content will be lost forever over the intervening years. Also ... bit torrent might help. I'll be happy to seed ... I have two places to seed from - home / work.
No. The car physics, sounds, etc, will be packaged, for validation where everyone has the same. Things like AI driver names, AI driver skill, AI driver numbers (player numbers), AI skins (play skin) outside.
