RFC 0060: Quilt Mod Menu #60

Open Siuolplex opened 2 years ago

Siuolplex commented 2 years ago

Rendered View This RFC proposes an official Mod Menu for Quilt alongside an accompanying team.

CheaterCodes commented 2 years ago

Regarding the Integration section: This topic is much more complicated than a single sentence could possibly explain. Frankly, this needs a separate RFC outlining a team responsible for maintaining "official quilt mods", of which mod menu would be a subteam. It would be that teams responsibility to figure out how to integrate quilt mods into the installation process.

RedstoneParadox commented 2 years ago

Would there be any official mods other than mod menu, though?

CheaterCodes commented 2 years ago

At the very least, there would be modmenu and QSL. Note that QSL is a content mod as well. I usually offered config as a third option, but that's likely going to end up in QSL. I expect more official mods to appear if we can support them.

Siuolplex commented 2 years ago

QSL has it's own team and sub teams. It's not going to be merged into one giant superteam when it's not that necessary

What other official mods could there even be? Official Crash Resumer? Official Iris/Sodium? Official Block Mod? Official Dimension Mod? Mod menu you can make the case that it is a highly essential mod given that it's the main way to configure mods, but what else besides that would be sensible to maintain under a banner of the Quilt Official Mods?

I just really think if your gonna do installation through installer it shouldn't require making a whole superteam just for that. We already have installer deligated anyways

Siuolplex commented 2 years ago

Also, if I am misunderstanding your proposal feel free to say so, it just doesn't make sense to me the way you worded it

CheaterCodes commented 2 years ago

Official crash report deobfuscator could be a thing.

Mod distribution is a problem qsl has as well, and think that this is outside of the scope of quilt-loader who is currently maintaining the installer. I think a super team could make sense to prevent having too many top-level teams, which I think is an organizational hazard.

Anyway, this is absolutely outside the scope of this PR.

I don't have any particular changes to recommend, but I agree with Oro. I think think RFC needs some revising, but I believe the underlying problem is that it's really just invoking a lot of questions that haven't been answered -

Who is responsible for Quilt content mods?
Who is responsible for distribution?
How do we distribute them? As time goes on and on, it will become more obvious that this "by-the-seat-of-our-pants" method of adding new things to The Quilt Project will not work - its an organizational hazard and it's going to cause problems down the line. I don't think discussion of this is necessarily in the scope of this RFC, but it's definitely something to think about. While it's true The Quilt Project is in beta, I do think we need to consider this organization sooner, rather than later.

zOnlyKroks commented 2 years ago

I will have to discuss the first 2 questions. But I can answer the third. The way we distribute them is via the installer and modrinth and all the other sites. We have an option in the quilt installer where u can choose the mods u like to install. Updates will be provided over curseforge and the other sites there are.

And still open? I was also thinking of adding an internal marketplace (free and in moderation) if this proposal is approved.

Please let me know :)

Is it open: Yes I suppose so Is it stale: Yes
