Starwaster Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Interesting... what happened to the other 20 mods?P.S: and since we are on the topic, can I ask you the site's stats? You did say I could ask them when I wanted. Please?I don't even think there's 100 mods. Where are all the mods when browsing? I count a little more than a dozen... http://beta.kerbalstuff.com/browse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyhawk Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So if there's no prior link that you're following or don't know what to search for you won't see it.... ok thanks, I understand.Yeah. It basically renders KerbalStuff useless from an user point of view. The fact that this feature hasn't been considered as a priority in the initial design somewhat blows my mind...

The fact that this feature hasn't been considered as a priority in the initial design somewhat blows my mind...The site currently allows modders to host mods and users to find them through the forum or other venues, and it works rather well. There are more serious things to be done first, and the site is in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ippo Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah. It basically renders KerbalStuff useless from an user point of view. The fact that this feature hasn't been considered as a priority in the initial design somewhat blows my mind...Well, I disagree because I disagree with your definition of user: the main "user" of this site is the modder, not the mod user, and it does a pretty good job at it.If you check the issues you will see that most of the feature requests are meant for the modder, not for the mod user.

Justin Kerbice Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 @SirCmpwn: it looks like the download per version graph is a bit flawed:(this is for my low profile misc engines set).@Ippo: of course but restricting by some means the users base of KS is a bad thing and IMHO a "modders only" website is mostly useless.(many hosting sites provide the same important features like download statistics and obviously hosting, it just need more work on display from modders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCmpwn Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks for the tip, Justin.As for whether or not Kerbal Stuff is a site for modders or for mod users, the answer is both. However, the important one is modders, since users will go where the modders go. I wanted to cater to them first and now I can cater to the users. Like I keep saying, it's in beta and some things are definitely lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCmpwn Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Redesign update: I fixed all the links (so it'll always be /mod/id/name instead of /mod/id) and did a bunch of tweaking. The biggest accomplishment of the past few hours, though, is that I redid the mod creation process:https://mediacru.sh/9z0z0tC6jYHdThat complicated form is gone and now it's just the bare minimum. You can add detail after your mod is created. The result is that it takes less than a minute to upload a new mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCmpwn Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 After doing some marathon coding today, the redesign is finished! You can check it out now, it's live: http://beta.kerbalstuff.comThere are a number of todo items I closed with this redesign. Among them are the ability to browse every mod on the site, and a bunch of bug fixes.And thanks again to Chris Burns for the design inspiration and a lot of the CSS work! It looks great.

raidernick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) A lot of the buttons do not work, like uploading a header, deleting a release version. Also the stats list is now public?Not liking that you can no longer have any pictures of the mod, unless I'm missing the upload feature.

Also the stats list is now public?Not liking that you can no longer have any pictures of the mod, unless I'm missing the upload feature.Try Ctrl+F5, some stuff is probably still cached. I am aware of the fact that deleting an old version doesn't work, I'll fix it tomorrow. Yes, all stats are now public.First-class screenshots are deprecated but you can still embed Imgur albums or just standalone pics, or YouTube videos, in your mod description. This is better because it gives you more control over where in your description the screenshots appear instead of just forcing you to live with it after the first paragraph.

Woopert Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Fantastic work! Great to see it all coming together. Not to nag you, but do you mind listing my name in the contributors if you haven't done so already, as well as listing my name in the post that is three above mine? You don't have to, I just thought it would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raidernick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I like the new design. one question. no more videos and screenshots? just the header image?You can embed videos and screenshots by using [] and put the link inside those brackets. What I'm not loving are all the colors. They are distracting and pull your attention away from the mod description and download button which is the main reason everyone is going there right?

Try using this:<insert mod name here> site:beta.kerbalstuff.com(P.S. This works in any browser for any site that does not explicitly tell Google to NOT crawl.)SirCmpwn,Excellent work.
