ok guys, if you have checked the devlog lately it looks like build 14 will render all current mods useless.
they will hvae to be re-made, although id say sprites will be the same sort of thing.
im making this thread so you can request mods you want re-made for build 14.
my 'wish' list:
*crobo series
*rebel armor suit
*steam howitzer
*spitfire (its a really awsm flamethrower, for those who cant remember it)
*skyscraper map (aka apoclaypse towers)
*my mods (ill do it)
*m41b (its some bizzare fire-,machine gun thing. its balanced, and fun)
*ropefaces infantry thingy (my little bro loves it)
*xrl-329( a huge dropship perfect for blocking up your base)
*those tripmine thingys.

post your wishlists, but try not to add ones allready said.

Post subject:  no. just no.

why? what about backwards-comatability? I vote we all stick with the previous build.

read the devlog, data is totally re-working the ACTUAL GAME ENGINE!!! this means the codes in our mods will not be comaptible anymore. read the devlog.

yeah, but the old mods won't be compatible, they will have to be fixed.

I consider this a good thing. It puts everyone on the same "playing field", so to speak.

Anwyays, reflect on this.

The new build will feature:
Reworked MO-MO collision
No tunneling
New weapons, craft, and units
Possibly the scene builder
Probably better AI
The ability to order units to do tasks
Possibly some beta campaign

And probably even more.

So what, it breaks mods. If a mod is good enough, you'll make it for the new build.

Not soon. And, more bluntly, whenever the hell Data makes it.

yes, build 14 will be the most awsmest thing ever, but if you like a mod, your gonna need to re-do lots of stuff.

I think we should just forget all of the old mods, just because we can get new ones. Even though they are good, it's nice to get a fresh start. Anyways build 14 might have map editor on it and thus being no reason to carry out the old maps because we could just make more easy better ones on there and make even the same ones.

This is a perfect opportunity to begin instigating the program I theorized and proposed:

All mods go into a "Beta Mods" folder, and mods that are obviously superior to others go into another forum that can only be written to and edited by moderating staff, preferably a committee of mod reviewers.
