greetings.
today i come with a suggestion that would be pretty handy.
and that one is,
Make a system that reminds and allows players to update their mods with the latest version
this system, what should do is, cross checks versions within the user’s installed mod, and the portal version mod. that way, if the installed mod is outdated, the player will be reminded through a pop up and be allowed to get the newest version within the same pop up.
why ?
well, very simple.
most people don’t check for the version nor have ways of knowing a mod has been updated.
just one of many examples:
or in Big Action case of @tommyZZM where he constatly updates it,
people are still stuck to months old versions.
and since it’s less than ideal both for the creators as their mods is played on older builds, ( especially when playing pre updates missions where sometimes said mods are broken and requires a fix After an updates ) and for the players to not having to constantly check the portal.
said system would help out both parties while reducing the hussles for everyone involved.
how does it work?
ideally, everytime a player creates or hosts a custom lobby with a mod, the player will receive a pop up on the screen ( as a reminder ) advising the player that a never version is able.
said pop up will need to have a " keep the current version " or " update to newer version " buttons.
in the first case, the game will do nothing and allows the player to play said current version if they desire.
in the second case, the game will automatically get the newer version from the portal.
and from there, players will be able to remain up to date.
and modders will be somewhat safeguarded.
that is all. thanks for listening.
