Looking for Volunteers at Morrowind Modding History

Post » Mon Jan 10, 2011 11:53 am

We need a few people who are willing to spend some time sorting through mods at http://modhistory.fliggerty.com

What we need

We have over 5000 mods at MMH. Over 4000 of those have not been sorted into proper categories. A very large portion of them also don't have descriptions and authors and such listed on the download page. We hope to be able to categorize and fill in the details of all of the mods we have available.

We are hoping to have somewhere around 5 volunteers who are willing to dedicate at least a few hours a week until this project is complete.

What it entails

1. Move all of the uncategorized mods into the proper categories.
2. Update the description, author, name, and other fields as needed.
3. Add any other relevant information as you deem fit, and possibly download the mod to check for problems that have not already been identified.

What perks you get

If you like downloading old mods, then this is definitely the best thing you can get into. You will have full FTP access to the server where all of these are stored.

You will be part of a team working together with the MMH admin tools to update and sort all of these mods. You will also have access to the MMH staff room in the GHF forums. You will also have a badge on your profile at GHF indicating that you are part of the team. And you will have my eternal gratitude! :goodjob:


So if you are interested in helping out, please send me a PM! (Preferably at GHF.) I am very anxious to finally get this project done, and it is most definitely more than a single guy with a million other projects can do alone!

Thanks!

Haha I made a quick search and noticed you have 3 of my very old clothing mesh resources from 2006 ^_^ They are in the unsorted category, though. MMH is the perfect place for them since I don't really support them anymore and do not wish to see them on my list of mods at pes and tesnexus.

A quick question, is there a way to add pictures to the description page of a mod? I think I may still have the original screenshots I posted in my release threads 4 years ago, might as well add them to MMH so that people know what they download. Also, is there a way to link the three mods I have on MMH to my MMH account like on PES? What I mean is on PES I (or anyone else for that matter) can find my mods through my profile, I was wondering if something similar was possible on MMH. I have an account at MMH.

Thanks for making all these old mods available to us and for this great website!

Sounds quite fun, but there's so much stuff I'm meant to be doing now as it is.

Thanks guys!

At this point MMH doesn't support screenshots (well, it can be done by admin with a bit of hacking.) I do intend to allow for that at some point, but I'm not entirely sure when/how I'm going to implement that.

I can set you as the "uploader" of your mods. That will allow you to edit them. There isn't really a profile system that can be used to list out your mods, the search feature is the best we have. All things I would like to alleviate in a perfect PHP world though. :hehe:

So, any more volunteers? I'm hoping for maybe two or three more people to help out...that ought to give us the numbers to get this sorting done fairly quickly!
