GGKSPMC Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) As we all know, KerbalStuff.com is shutting down. I am currently making an alternative, though, that holds mods for all games (minecraft, KSP, Fallout, terraria, etc.) and maps/craft (spaceplanes, minecraft maps), which will be much better than KerbalStuff :). Please watch this thread to see the beta updates, the alpha updates, and when it is a release. If you want to help me, tell me what hosts are very good hosts :D. Also, I will keep this website UP always. UPDATE 0.0.1: most of CSS HTML and php got together! (BTW Im using MAMP to do stuff) Edited March 11, 2016 by GGKSPMC UPDATE 0.0.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's been shut down for some time, and a replacement has alredy been hosted at http://spacedock.info/ . Don't let that discourage you though, more hosts is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Loading fine for me here. If you've seen KerbalStuff you already know what it looks like, it uses the same software with a different color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swjr-swis Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 More hosts is a good thing. I applaud the initiative. Keep in mind though that mod and craft makers need a bit more than just a server being up and fancy page coding. What I mean is, before you spend a lot of effort on the technical aspect of this project, you may want to take a bit of time to write a few words about you, your intended service, what your hosting conditions are going to be, and present them here and see what the reception is. Inform yourself. Seriously. At the very least, you seem to be running slightly behind the facts. Do a few searches on kerbalstuff, spacedock, kerbalx, curseforge, and several others that you will find mentioned in messages and signatures in these forums. You really want to take a look at what is already available, before putting up something else. What do you want to do the same? What do you absolutely want to do differently? What is the added value of your site going to be to make mod and craft authors go to the (additional) effort of (also) uploading to your site? Build up some trust. No trust will get you no mods or craft uploads. At the very least, tell us who you are and what good reasons we have to trust our creations with you. The thing is, we know little to nothing about you other than this thread here, which for all we know is your very first activity to do with KSP. It will take a little more than just dropping in with 'tadaa! A whole new host, gimme your files, I promise it'll stay up!' for authors to feel safe and start uploading. Good people have tried before and had to give up. What gives us reason to believe you will succeed where others couldn't? Inform yourself. I mention it a second time, because seriously, it's important. This community is much more heavily into licensing forms than other mod sites you may know. Are you sure you understand this clearly, and are ready to deal with it properly? Have you included for yourself what procedures you plan to follow to support and/or enforce correct license use, or how to react when people do not? Check out the mod/plugin section of the forum, and read a bit about this. It may be you have already done this and have it all planned out, but then you need to let us know how that's going to work. By all means, go ahead with this and I hope you succeed and we can welcome and use another option for hosting mods and craft, but all I'm suggesting is, you seem to be starting this off at the wrong end. The coding needs to be the last part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartoffelkuchen Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Heyhehyhey. What's going on here? Have you read Squad's comment about Kerbalstuff?

Gelix Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 SpaceDock is pretty cool. However, it doesn't have half the amount of mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Let's not get into the finger pointing again, that was done to death when the KerbalStuff closure announcement was made. No one is forced to use Curse, there are many alternatives available, just as there were before KS closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
