Description Khalsa 2008-10-26 18:55:24 EDT
With the (unexpected) rise of modding in the Tremulous Community I think that mods should be encouraged and supported, but regulated a little at the same time.

Some enhancements that will aid this:

* Downloads should be enabled by default, with Risujins download menu commited (or something similar) http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3038
 
* Gametype added to server browser http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3013
 
* Should have a var or something so when someone clicks server info, allows mod creator to write a short (maybe 25 word) description of what their mod does/changes g_modDescription

* Servers running in /base should be default (un-modded to some extent determined by you smart guys) only, and master should enforce this (maybe manually through us doing it or w/e) and all mods should be in their own folder (to avoid every other server screwing each other up)

* Favorites menu should also reflect gametype and be sortable

* Search and filtering of servers in serverlist - e.g. Filter by all variables (gametype, max/min ping, # players, #slots)
