AUSSIEJEFF Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I'm wondering whether it would be a good idea for BFC to start up a standalone "CMBB Mod Forum", with initial "base threads" created to cover all conceivable mod types eg: CMBB GENERAL MODS {to cover terrain, grass, trees, fortifications, roads etc} CMBB RUSSIAN MODS {all Russian weapons etc} CMBB AXIS MODS {all Axis weapons etc}, and OTHER CMBB MODS {for anything not covered by the above categories}. The CMBB mod phenomenon is going to be simply HUGE with this great new game, given the big increase in units AND also the sheer numbers of newbies wanting to join in the fun!! At least with a dedicated forum, all the discussion and ideas for mods could then be found grouped under one easy to find location. At the incredible rate of posts coming into the CMBB General Forum, I am seeing new mods getting buried within a few hours! What do you think?

GJK Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 I would love to see this. I think many if not most folks here would love to see this, but unfortunately, I bet it doesn't happen. Adding a "Mod Forum" almost encourages people that have purchased the game to either create or install modifications to the game that aren't neccessarily endorsed by the company. Silly thing yes, and maybe BTS doesn't care, heck even supports it. And if so, maybe they will open up a mod forum? The other reason that they may not though is because of the simple "if we now make a mod forum, we'll have to make a forum for every other major topic in the general discussion area". Or something like that. I should of just kept this short and said "yes, I would love to see this". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Well, put me down as all for it. To be honest I don't see any downside but certainly see plenty of upside to such a forum. Plus, it encourages people who simply love the game to maintain their interest through modding, knowing that their precious creation hopefully wont be buried in a sea of posts before seeing the light of day to the general community.

gunnersman Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 This one was done before, but I still say that we turn the CMBO forum into the Mod forum. I know I dont go there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Bump- agreed, a Mod Forum would be very helpful. Maybe with a "sticky" thread that is an Index of "all" mod sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illo Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Yes for MOD forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with a "sticky" thread that is an Index of "all" mod sites?Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking of Silvio. I'm into all sorts of PC sims and have seen plenty of other forums where mod threads are separate from the general forum and have "sticky" topics to make it easier to find important links at a glance. Almost everyday, some one comes into the general forum and starts a new topic like "Where can I find the mods?" or "Does anyone know what mods there are?" etc, etc, etc.. How many more of these "I'm lost and can't find the mods" threads are gonna be started over the coming 12 months by the 1,000's of newbies still getting this game??

Earl Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 I agree, a dedicated Mod forum would be great/is really needed/etc.etc. Maybe after that, a separate Peng forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Yup, I like the idea of a mod forum, too. Recently it has become quite busy on the CMBB board, often new threads are being pushed back to page 2 or 3 within a few hours. And with many europeans just starting to get the game I think it will get even more difficult. Hell, one day even the Canadians will get their copies!

Flesh Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 Yup, this idea gets my vote too. For all of the reasons you guys have mentioned already. Maybe we need a dedicated mod forum on a separate site? Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I dont go there anymore. If it's a problem for BFC to make a "new" forum, (doesn't seem possible, but just "if"), then, seriously, do we really need a separate Scenario-Forum? There are few people there, and I honestly don't understand why we can't talk about Golzow or whatever here...? Eden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still, a MOD Forum is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epée Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I haven't heard of anyone against the idea. Madmatt, please give us a yes or no. It need not be exclusively CMBB, it could be a 'CM' mod forum. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I'm highly in favor. It should just replace Tips and Tricks since those topics are perfectly appropriate for this forum and appear here anyway. The scenario forum is very important and shouldn't be touched.
