Mod Spotlights Discussion

• Currently the main page requires a fresh mod spotlight approximately every two weeks. Please discuss suggestions for this below.

May 2007

Time for a new one, suggestions? --Jp26991 15:14, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

Anybody? Nobody...dust! --Jp26991 11:06, 15 May 2007 (CDT)

how about deus lo vult or scicillian vespers? move things away from the holy land kinda thing Jebus

They need a 'decent' wiki article with at least one picture. I'm away for a few days now so I'll see if there are any suitable articles or suggestions when I get back. --Jp26991 11:18, 16 May 2007 (CDT)

Neither of those has pages at the moment Sicilian Vespers forum doesn't look that easy to 'borrow' stuff from to make a page - but deus lo vult has some pretty pics and fairly clear info we could use (were you volunteering Jebus?) I did start of page for Stainless_Steel which might not be too bad - and if anyone wants something a little unholy I'm about to try and update EoD's!

I know it would get a bit long but could we keep list on this page of which mods were featured and when - I'm already forgetting who's been there recently! --Makanyane 05:53, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

So far we have had: Rise of Persia, FATW, Broken Crescent, and now The Long Road. After that we can have Stainless Steel. --Jp26991 05:27, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

June 2007

As The Long Road has been on since 20th do you think we should change at the weekend, to Stainless Steel as suggested? Two weeks in spotlight seems reasonable. --Makanyane 10:58, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

I agree the stainless steel would look good in the spotlight -- Leonidas The Lion 13:50, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

OK, need new mod spotlight suggestion for next weekends change over - could someone suggest a good one we haven't had so far (or make new page for something) thanks --Makanyane 13:33, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

I was sure i already posted this, apparently not though. In any case, I've always liked Blood Broads & Bastards, a mod for Medieval 2. Its a fairly new article so it's quite small, but the point of the spotlight is to show off the best mods rather than the best articles i think.--Spiff 17:31, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

OK, also probably good idea to have one that isn't in hosted section. Pinched their sig, added template and links into page, if you know it well and can think of anything else to add (or to do the guys profiles) that would be good.--Makanyane 18:37, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Who's idea was it to rotate mod spotlight every two weeks?! anyone got any preferences for next one? I did do page for The Sicilian Vespers which was mentioned earlier. Page isn't that wonderful though! --Makanyane 08:38, 23 June 2007 (CDT)

July 2007

In absence of other suggestions I'm about to put Sicilian Vespers on. Could do with more participation in this - unless you want to be seeing a lot of End of Days! --Makanyane 03:00, 1 July 2007 (CDT)

How about Aevum Fidei for the next one? It's not released but they have been working on own page which is nice :) --Makanyane 01:03, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

General Updates Discussion

• Post your suggestions here, please avoid making large changes to the front page without first gaining permission of the Wiki Editor, or a general consensus of contributors.

Someone mentioned to me that the week commencing date on the front page should be commencing from a Sunday not a Monday - anyone have any objection to it changing to that system?

Also if anyone doesn't fancy doing DIY editing of front page could they dump ideas for news changes etc. in here? --Makanyane 11:03, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

A New Style?

I was considering the portal style templates used on the Modding_Portal page, perhaps it would be a good idea to use this format for information on the front page? Essentially we could have 2, one which replicates the current table which was recently added with regard to modding tools etc, and another below it regarding the Total War community. -Spiff

As purely personal opinion I think idea could work, would you be able to do bit of draft using the Modding Portal page? so more complete version can be seen - also wasn't sure about that one in terms of colour / style as it seems a bit alien from rest of wiki pages and side bars atm, would you propose changing that? -Mak.

Well since i was up late tonight anyway, i wrote up and half finished a possible new outline over at Spiff_test - let me know what you think. It doesn't use the modding portal template, i borrowed the style from another wiki (first one i found on google that looked good). On the plus side, it is easy to edit/understand. -Spiff

Good to see it implemented. A thread should be pinned in the Medieval2 Mod Workshop forum (or somewhere similar) saying that the wiki is a good place to start for tutorials and such --Spiff 10:26, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

I did add a note in the Tutorial section http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=92488. under Trajan's pin so we shouldn't do any-more spamming in that specific section. Could try in the workshop as well but don't overstate the case, we're still rather light on content, so need balance between advice to look here and appeal for help adding content.

General talk/off topic

Oh my god... You have any forums left professor? I heard that you were banned from SCC as well... What are you going to do?

Also stupid as I am, who is Besin and what exactly is ogres. Is it like EZboard? Also does anyone rank above Besim?-Angmar nite

Yes, I was banned from SCC in similar circumstances. An administrator that was extremely detached from the community, who refused to listen to his members, and was destroying his site. And where is SCC now? Its lost its hosted mods and its lost its moderators and many of its members. Before you speak you should have an idea what you are talking about.

Amir created a duplicate account and claimed it was mine, and banned me. Can I be at fault for my permaban when the cause was something I didn't even do? Its what he had to do to get rid of me, because I had the support of almost all of the top 20 posters on the site, he couldn't just say 'I banned him because I didn't like him." Now shush. -Professor420

Holy poo diss bring out the burnage machine!

-.Socrates

Hi guys, I found so much useful things here. Thank you.

most of this talk doesn't seem to belong to this page anymore - could it be deleted / moved?

Why can't I be a sysop? :( - Livia
