Make a new category for headless-specific mods #314

Open Nytra opened 1 year ago

Nytra commented 1 year ago

Seems like there are quite a few mods on the mod list that are headless-specific. I think it would be nice to put these all under one 'Headless' category.

Nytra commented 1 year ago

Or alternatively there could be a separate manifest/mod list for headless mods, considering the headless is technically a different 'game'

XDelta commented 1 year ago

I see 3 total on the manifest and 2 of the 3 are already in a possibly better category of 'bug workarounds'. each of which also includes mention of headless in the name and/or description. Then 1 more in the current PRs. Possibly at some point but there aren't many headless specific mods

XDelta commented 1 year ago

At the moment I'd point towards either using flags for incompatibilities with a given platform or using tags to assist in searching

Nytra commented 1 year ago

A concern is people trying to install these mods on regular Neos and potentially running into issues if the mod doesn't check the environment before patching.

XDelta commented 1 year ago

At the moment I don't think a category would change that if they didn't look at the name of the mod (off the top of my head they all have headless in the name and descriptions).

Nytra commented 1 year ago

Well maybe there could be some flag that these mods can have which marks them as headless mods and would show up as a info label on the website. Or as I said in a previous comment there could be a separate manifest / mod list for headless mods (would be more work to do this probably).

most of the "headless" only mods are really host only mods and a simple is world authority check in the code is all thats needed for normal users who install them to not have problems
