Re: Desura - a boon for Freespace modding
Hey Lodle, glad to hear from someone on the Diaspora team. :)

So what could we as a community do to help get FS2 on Diaspora/mods launching from it? I know Freespace has some things about installing mods (I'm specifically talking about our "Select Mod" Launcher settings)...will any of that cause a problem? Or should we just start talking to the mods hosted here about getting their stuff on your service?

Think you meant Desura?

That's embarrassing. Corrected. :) Old habits and all.

Re: Desura - a boon for Freespace modding
Okay. So, with Battuta's help, we've started a dialogue with the Desura guys. Hopefully, we'll soon get FS2 on the list of games recognized by that thingie, and once that's done, we'll get FSO, the MVPs, and BP (Those being the ones that I can do) on there. That should offer a good option for those people who distrust/don't like the FSO installer.

The_E and I are in touch with them. Hopefully we will have FSO, MediaVPs and BP set up soon.

Re: Desura - a boon for Freespace modding
Basically, we're waiting on the Desura people to tell us that FS2 is officially supported. Then we can get on with the business of setting up the downloads.

Sort of, except it's focused mods and indie games and comes attached with ModDB's website as it's social and database background.

Re: Desura - a boon for Freespace modding
We're waiting on the Desura guys to add FS2 as an offiicially supported program.

I'll pester them I guess.

 
Re: Desura - a boon for Freespace modding
Any word from the Desura team?

Now that The_E is online more regularly I'll see if we can figure out what's going on.

Not a thing. The ball is sort of in our court, we need to sit down and figure out what to do next.

Best to start talking to mod leaders about getting their stuff on the system. Also, don't they have to add support?
