So fuck, sometimes what I do can be very very rewarding and in most cases it is. And this is why I keep doing what I do (make videos that is). But once in a bluemoon there is a mod that just frustrates the living fuck out of me mainly because it just dont work when it should work. This mod wont be named, so lets call it "Mod X".
As most of you know I take it upon myself to play just about all mods that I can in order to create the monthly spotlight (sometimes I cannot due to not owning the game or it just not working), so when I downloaded Mod X in order to give it a go and get some nice footage you would expect it to work. The original game is up to date, the mod files correctly downloaded and yet it still crashes on loading. WTF MOD X?!?!?!?
This wasnt the most easiest mod to install either, so I take it slow. Read the correct files do exactly as I'm told and it works but the game is now missing a heap of textures... SO off to the mods official website to have a look around and see if someone else is having the same problem. Lucky for me someone was so I follow the directions and change a few files around inside Mod X, this should work now!
But now the game just freaking crashes.... Okay okay, lets think this through. The game wont work, it never worked to begin with. But the spotlight would be better this month with it in the video. I could always use some of the older footage they have on Mod X's profile, but its not exactly the same as the newest release. Oh crap im in a pickle.
So people what have we learned? If people cannot install your mod without fucking around you have just gotten more people to play. I can honestly say not many people would even care to play any more mods from this release if they have a bad experience installing or even running the thing. So please if your a developer and your reading this, make sure your mod is easy to install and chances are you wont have to deal with press not wanting to support your mod.
Name the mod :)
not going to happen :P
