Modders: Want your mod in the Mod Metaverse?

Greetings to all modders. Recently I have been working on using the endgame XML feature that will be included in DA 1.7 to create a separate metaverse that will allow you to submit games that have been played with mods.

What I would like to know from you is do you want your mod to be in the MMV? If the answer is yes, then post here and it will be included. This is primarily aimed at modmakers but if any players want to see a mod included, speak up as well.

I believe the real quation should be, who would participate as player ? If there are many people, who want to play in MMV, i am sure more modders would be motivated. I would be happy if people using my ship parts could paly metaverse - this is if the poeple want to do it...

However - my ship parts mods are not final yet. And even when they will be, there is still a chance i will add new ships later. How updates will be handeled ? I also would like to know, how it works in general. Let's say you include my mod - will the server check, if the original mod files where changed ?

[edited by Refar] And one more question... Lets say you include Mods A, B and C... will every palyer on the MMV have to play with all A, B and C ? or will players be able to choose - let's say use A and C but not B ?

A very good point, and certainly players are invited to voice their opinions.

I also would like to know, how it works in general.


In DA 1.6, Stardock introduced a new feature whereby at the end of every non-meta game, a XML file is produced detailing endgame stats. In 1.7, they will add a few measures to prevent cheating. The MMV relies on users uploading that XML file so that they can be ranked.

Unfortunately, there is no way to use the file to tell what mod was used, so for now users have to pick from a list and will just have to be trusted to tell the truth. There is no way to tell if the mod's original files have been edited.

And one more question... Lets say you include Mods A, B and C... will every palyer on the MMV have to play with all A, B and C ? or will players be able to choose - let's say use A and C but not B ?


Players will be able to choose what mods they use. A player could, actually, play with A and then submit it as B, but there is no way to prevent this.

And I'd like to inform everyone that I am only doing this in my spare time, and that it is actually my first PHP project, so don't expect something as polished as the official meta, although I'll try my best .
