folks,
I am trying in my own little way to make a mod, mainly for my kids to play. However, the current structure of the modding forums is extremely hard to follow and to use.
Basically, if I have a mapping question (which is what I am fighting with at the moment ) I don't know where to post it as I am not sure where the mapping community is, in Eras or M2TW
I can understand why the splits are there but it would be a huge amount easier for novices like me if there was one place where I could ask questions regardless of what game I was modding. it would also make it a lot easier to find answers to common questions as currently I have to trawl through 2-3 sub-forums to find if the question has been asked before (and yes, I know there are stickies but again they are spread around).
My proposal is, therefore, that we add a new sub-forum in the 'TW and Modding Community Forums' section which deals purely with requests for modding help, information and answers whatever the game you are modding.
This would give newbs like me a single place to ask questions and look for answers (as most of the questions I have I am sure have been asked before) and would also give the experienced members the benefit of knowing that the newb questions tend to be concentrated in one place.
Anyway, it'd make my life as a new modder a huge amount easier, what does anyone else think?
