But while we're on the topic, my days of taking pics for other people are over. Either the modder included the pics or no pics go up. Sorry for the inconvenience. If that means twelve downloads instead of two thousand, then we all lose. It's something the modding communty has repeatedly stated to be an expectation before they'll trouble themselves to download. I can't understand why mods get submitted without them when the pics alone mean such a huge increase in traffic. Maybe not in downloads, but more people consider downloading when there's something to look at. Proven FileFront fact.
starfleetkid I am in no way saying that is what you did but I have seen it many times
Eluvator. Considering your a member of filefront staff you should know better concerning the site rules. That was an unecessary and underhanded comment. I truely wish I was a senior admin here as you would be kicked off the site. On the sites I've visited I've never once seen you doing any work.
As for there being no images. With this new upload system isn't it the responsibility of the uploader to do their own image uploading??
The file-upload system actually takes a great deal of what we used to have to do and makes it so that the formatting is done BEFORE we even see the file is available. That means all staff really has to do anymore is download the mod, make sure everything's there, write a better review if requested or if time allows, and press a few buttons to make it available to the world.
And as I've said before countless times, I prefer to upload first and handle problems later, if any arise. I keep a close eye on the comments and forums after uploading something. If there's a need to be addressed, it's usually dealt with before a couple days have passed. I humbly believe that we have one of the best systems going-- not just on FileFront, but anywhere. And I take a rather fierce pride at my part within that system, keeping things going. As always, your mileage may vary.
And yes, its the responsibility of the uploader to do their own images. It always has been, and the submission instructions have always stated that fairly clearly. I think the proportion of files with screenshots is about the same as it always has been, its just that we get a lot more files now its easier for people to upload them.
I realize that in my next attempt I would change the "landing" positions of the 3 ships when separated, but I was rather excited to finally have a working MVAM after so many years. I honestly questioned whether or not I should even post the mod, considering what little it does. I am working on a larger mod that I promise to include screenshots, and a much better description. It is already a rather large description and I haven't finished the mod yet.
Once again, I am sorry for rocking the boat here....
As for the lack of screenshots, I agree with both StarfleetKid and Necromancer, they are vital in promoting mods to the community, but you can't really show ODF mods in screenshots, and you don't really need them with ODF mods as they are self-explanatory.
Nice work on the mod Necromancer, keep it up
