[Igabod]

Bumping this just to let everybody know that I've been updating this list every day. We currently have about 36 mods listed for Alpha 8. This list is sure to keep growing too.

[joshwoo69]

Igabod i am letting this official as i do not have time to maintain this due to RL.

[Igabod]

It's still unofficial as far as Ludeon and Tynan are concerned, hence the name.

[dzekins]

Thank you for the list

[DorgoDorato]

It may be too much to ask, but could you also add the date each mod last was updated as well?

[Igabod]

Thank you for the list

No problem. It's helping me quite a bit with finding the mods with ideas I need to borrow from for my own mods.

It may be too much to ask, but could you also add the date each mod last was updated as well?

That might be a bit difficult in these early stages of Alpha 8 because most mods will be updating pretty frequently and it is already a fairly big obligation to keep the list updated every time a new mod comes out. Maybe when the initial rush slows down I can think about adding in a date though. I'll keep that in mind.

[z00p]

Very useful, thanks! This should be a sticky topic!

[Igabod]

Tynan removed the sticky from the last version of this list because he doesn't want to give the idea that this is an official list.

[Entityofsin]

This should get stickied. Official or not.. this is the most updated list so far that I've seen and the only one.

[Igabod]

We now have 50 mods for Alpha 8! If you can't find at least one mod you like then you really are way too picky!

[dzekins]

One small suggestion. Once you have gone trough the list and chosen your mods, next time you come back its kinda annoying to go over the whole list again to look if there is new mods added. How about whenever there is new mod, you add them in new section?

Like 17.12.2014

List of all new mods

20.12.2014

Other than that its still really helpful list

I made a decision when I started the list to do it alphabetically because in the long run that ends up being far easier to navigate than a chronological order listing. It might be fine for someone who checks the list every day, but for the people who are brand new to the game and looking for the first mod it can be confusing and the dates are all meaningless since everything is new to that person. I thought of adding a *NEW tag to all of the new additions, but that would become a bit of a hassle to remove the old new tags every day or week or whatever. So I'm going to try and keep it as simple as possible considering I don't have all the functions of a full website to automatically place and remove the tags with scripts. If I were doing this on an actual website where I had access to the tools necessary I would certainly do that though.
