New mod repository :)

when you click the update all mods, the ones that have updates automatically start downloading, a button to "show update info/show changelog" could be interesting

 

I'm genuinely surprised this still isn't a feature. It's a pain to go all the way to the website just to look at a mod update changelog.

 

My only complaint is that this looks far too generic. I'm assuming the visuals aren't fully done tho.
Pretty much, it gave a nice sense of openness having the Beam main menu show whilst browsing mods. The fonts and color just don't match anything in game rn. The changelogs would be nice to see too.
--- Post updated ---
And of course mod packs would be great, pop-ups to say "OI, you need this mod too!" for stuff like KLJP and Urbanmaid's mods that needs the core pack.
Then being able to have multiple people credited as mod creator would be noice.

 

I think there should be a separate category for demo versions of paid mods, so it's easier to distinguish whetever you're downloading a full mod or just a demo

 

Idk a security checkmark for mods that have been confirmed to be well optimized and verified as safe. A green checkmark over a lock icon as "safe mod for multiplayer" etc idk. Like the wingeon or something. Not trying to start a debate or anything. Just put something reassuring in there for people that want to go after really well done mods specifically. Like its own category of mods that are safest for beginners. Idk. Im not a mod expert ;-;

 

Considering that multiplayer is a mod, I doubt the official repository would have markings for it

 

Idk ive been up all night

 

I mean unless BeamNG releases official multiplayer, then yeah

 

Hello tdev! Will this likely fix the curl SSL connect errors which I get which cause my client to not be able to download any mod updates, in the UI it shows as "Server error"? I also sometimes get "Client is not authenticated!!!" errors in the console but much rarer. I have already submitted a support ticket but nothing really came of it. I attempted this on Linux, windows, fresh installs, safe mode, different DNS, firewall stuff etc but nothing seemed to fix it. hopefully this new repo system could fix this problem

 

Reminder. Its September. Mental health month. I hope you devs are doing good. Stay safe out there and keep it up!

 

Sometimes I doubt if they're sane, I would go crazy if I put so much detail into a sodding hamster wheel

 

One issue I would like to see resolved is the translation downloads and syncing with the GitHub repository. It's quite difficult to make changes or fixes and then have to wait about a day for it to sync

 

I'd like to be able to see outdated and unsupported mods with a toggle, much like the auxiliary debug content checkbox
