It would be easier to become more popular if people could update less popular mods and get their news easier. Particularly new mods who may have very quick update cycles or very significant functionality improvements. I recall their being fields in the liblist.gam file for d/l & homepage urls, it would seem a simple option to hook them in to steam. This would add little if any overhead to the steam servers and you'd still have to get your mod noticed outside of steam, but once people had it they could keep up to date more easily. Keeping all the clients in synch is by far the most troublesome aspect of modding, people just don't seem to want to seem to patch unless it's automated :/ Having said that I am looking at using Vapour to distribute our mod. It does need a litttle polish, but unless your mod is popular it seems steam will not help you out anytime soon :( Jeff _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
