rocketman Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm trying to get a complete set of Aris's mods, but don't know which ones I'm missing. When I search the repository for "Aris" or his real name I only get a list of some 10 mods. Is there any way of getting the complete listing? I'm feeling stupid...:confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sort by submitter? That's what I did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Forgot that function, but I feel the search should yield the same result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 rocketman, see here: http://www.battlefront.com/helpdesk/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=175&nav=0,9 From the Knowledgebase for the Repository at www.battlefront.com/helpdesk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necramonium Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You know, i think the Repository should get a fresh make over, to make it a bit more accessible, because sometimes very good mods,maps and more are sitting in a corner somewhere in the Repository because its a big cluttered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You could say the same about Google's search results That's a problem with ANY collection of files that exceeds a certain size. Granted, the Repository isn't offering the best interface that is possible, but it does its job, and the search function is pretty good overall. But if you really want to make sure you don't miss a mod, you'll have to go browse through the categories page by page. That's simply how it is with search results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 lets stay on the ground here and not pack something ugly with nice paper. moon, you remember old CMMODS site? the new greenasjade´s CMMODS site? that is how you present large volumes of search results. since the BFC site layout change the quality of browsing was reduced in my view. the theme is overly complex and the entries in the repository are simply to big and black/orange...i mean who thought that up? no insult here but rly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 well after i re read this i have to say i could have worded this a bit more sensible, however what i meant holds still true, you cant deny the convinience with which this two mentioned sites display search results. the repository is fine and i am in fact glad its here, but its just awkward to some degree sorry for me going berzerk on the keyboard there, but i can admit failure and you guys should admit that the repository is maybe not the best out there. greetings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have to agree, the Repository is a pain from which to download; why do I continually have to accept the agreement, for instance? Unfortunately, not all modders seem to know about GaJ's CMMODS site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, not all modders seem to know about GaJ's CMMODS site. Very annoying way to get our mods. Once you have signed up and accepted the agreement that should be the last time in my opinion. Having said that I am glad the repository is there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I agree with Pandur and mjkerner. I have often tried to find files, that I knew was in the repository - with no luck, even if I have known the name of the author. I´m sorry to say, that I find the repository extremely frustrating and user unfriendly. And I am actually pretty good as searching databases in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StkNRdr Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have a question that is sort of along these lines and didn't want to start another thread. I am new to the mods in this game. Are there any "mod packs" that combine some of the best mods into one group for easy install versus the one mod at a time install? A good example would be all the Aris mods together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 one pack for german vehicles and terrain is usually in a pack. i dont have much overview of CMBN mods as i got the game not long ago, but it was not common for CMSF mods and i have only seen this one vehicles pack for CMBN. but i personally like to mix and match, i dont care so much bout packs or not. CMx1 had quiet some packs, but lots more mods, you kinda needed packs there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah, I also find the repository hard to use when you are looking for something specific. My solution has been to d/l everything that is posted and then decide what I want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had anything to do with the CMMODS sites, so I am not sure how you are comparing the quality of browsing between the two. The Repository we're using is a component coded by a third party. It is what it is and integrates well with the rest of the site. It's not going to change anytime soon (or perhaps anytime). Use it (for free) or leave it Having said that, I never have problems finding anything. (On the other hand, I had terrible problems finding anything on the old CMMODS site. ) Searching by author is the most difficult way to do it for the reasons explained in the FAQ/Helpdesk, because you may not know the actual AUTHOR name (which may also be different from the UPLOADER name). Search for keywords and you will usually find what you need. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agreement can be different for each file because mod authors can change the default agreement if they wish to, so you have to sign it for every file you download. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said bit annoying but glad it is there. As you say it is not likely to change anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marka Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I have been trying to use the "Search" function with the Repository. It appears that, whatever search criteria you enter, it only returns at most 10 results. That is really lame. Don't the coders at the third party who coded it know how to return more than one page of results? Or, more than 10 results per page? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
