New addon spotlight ingame!

#1 Post by darkgod »

My dear addon makers, Image
This is for you :)

This will spotlight a random addon that is compatible with the user's game and was updated in the last month.
This will come in the next release, but I have a request to some of you:
Make a better description for your addons! :)

I mean some are one liners, like the Treant race whcih literaly says "Adds the treant race" .. ;)

That orc is wearing a lot of lipstick.


... er, I mean, cool feature! And your choice of example shows impeccable taste!
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.

Ahem, it's all the rage in Kruk pride, didn't you know... ;)

(and as I said earlier today to DG "stop using this unfinished thing", to which he retorted "finish it then" and yeah... right after the End of Trees...)

Which description does it use though?
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

I think that this is a wonderful feature. It'll add quite a bit of awareness, if nothing else, to the community (the newest arrivals, anyway :)).

Any chance it could provide a link to download it directly, too? Or does that require a lot more work than its worth?

I'm assuming that's the blue "Check It Out" at the bottom.

Currently working on Elementals. It's a big project, so any help would be appreciated. :)

Exactly :) It displays the full addon description & comments and lets you install it:

How did I miss that...? :(

Based on the newest picture, it'll also let us post comments from there? That'd probably help the spotlighted ones get reviews...

Request for Enhancement: Can we get it to display version-specific notes as well? (Say, when moused over, or something?)

Please do so! How can you pass up on this opportunity? :D

I'll avoid being sappy, and not try to force out a tree-pun of my own.
