Another update

[Adaptivity]

DivineRPG site is down. Not my problem.

[GrygrFlzr]

\o/ I've made several changes to your PR at #637 (commit 10f4bfb):

• Instead of +Deleted use -Removed
• Mod renaming is formatted *Updated "(oldname)" name: Now "(newname)"
• Links updated to our own
• Each MC version should be isolated from another. If you changed 1.5 -> 1.5.2, it should be marked as removed on 1.5 and added to 1.5.2
• If possible, try to write a description when adding/updating mods - the old modlist used to not have any descriptions, which is why a lot of these entries are blank.
• The universal type supersedes the SMP, SSP and LAN tags. If the mod only has one jar which can run on all three, then it should be marked as universal. The SMP/SSP/LAN tag usage has become rare now due to Forge and is likely not needed except in the case of base edits.
• If site is down then it's effectively gone, unless it's temporary. I was going to revert this back to the previous link as the Eternal Isles thread contains the 1.6.4 download for Divine RPG, but the download does not work.
• The other field is what appears to the right of the mod name. I've removed ExtraBiomesXL from 1.7.10 for now as the mod does not have publicly available download links. You also forgot to add it to the 1.7.10 changelog but that was moot anyway :P This is also the reason why ComputerCraft is not listed for 1.7.10 - its beta is locked behind forum registration (albeit free, but still not truly 'public').

Sorry if some changes seems arbitrary - the way the modlist works right now is very strict and will probably break. :< You can login to http://modlist.mcf.li/panel/login with your GitHub account and I'll elevate you to moderator access so that you can create bit.ly links on behalf of the modlist account. Don't use the panel to make updates though, it's currently somewhat broken. Once you've been elevated (I'll post here or something to notify you), re-login, go to Submissions, click any submission and you can use its link field to create a bit.ly link.

(Somewhat far) future plans:

• Database driven - removal of modlist.json and changelogs from repository
• No more bit.ly links - self-hosted link analytics
• More free format changelogs

Thanks for all this info. Will use it. I just logged on link which you provide. Question: What about unofficially ported mod which is not compiled but has easy compile instructions? I'm talking about Additional Buildcraft Objects mod. Instructions located at the latest page on MCF thread. Or maybe we can compile it and upload compiled version at Dropbox for example.

[GrygrFlzr]

Elevated you to moderator, should be able to make bit.ly links. For now, we'll avoid any mod that requires the user to compile the mod. The compiling idea is interesting but can have questionable results. For example, Advanced Buildcraft Objects has no LICENSE file, and putting it on GitHub merely grants forking permissions, not distribution.

[Adaptivity]

We have already encountered this problem when Modlist project just started. And this problem was exactly with Advanced Buildcraft Objects. We added unofficial link to Advanced Buildcraft Objects and when original author is back we deleted it. So it is not a problem I think. And currently on the list a lot of unofficially ported IC2 addons. They "unofficially" ported only because authors disappeared. They don't respond to PM's and they not visiting mod page. So, there are only one way to update mod - "unofficially" port until author come back (some of them never come back :smile: )

[GrygrFlzr]

If you or the ABO forker can make a page/site/thread to link to with necessary requirements (download, screenshots, etc), should be no problem.

[Adaptivity]

Forker doesn't want do it. Me too :smile:

[Adaptivity]

Still can't create links. It's just not converting to bit.ly

[GrygrFlzr]

O.o I suppose just put in the full link when you make a PR for now then, I'll convert those before merging.

[Adaptivity]

Will do. And remember: Another big update coming :smile:

[GrygrFlzr]

I'm going to sleep, so won't be able to merge until tomorrow. Probably best to put any new updates you make under August 31.

[Adaptivity]

I know. I'm should go sleeping too but I'm too crazy for that :smile:
