Mods beyond measure, outlander.  Under sun and sky, we greet you warmly.

Welcome everyone to the Morrowind Modding Hall!
Here you'll come to find a vibrant community and many mods available for download and review.

We believe it is crucial to the history of the game, the efforts of mod contributors of years passed and current, and the Morrowind community at large to preserve this piece of history.  Many mods have unfortunately already been lost to the ravages of time.

To kick things off, here are some of the features:

NEW:

  • Dedicated downloads section which supports versioning, change-logs, and automatic generation for support threads
    • This will help keep the comments and ratings nice and visible, but ensure there is a dedicated place to request support (supporting screenshots, etc. to help troubleshoot)
    • We'll be adding new features to this over time, such as easy compatibility flagging and the ability to cross-reference pre-requisite mods
  • Dedicated Help & Support board with social Q&A features
    • Answers to problems and questions can be marked as having solved the issue. 
      No more scrolling through pages of a thread to find what the solution to the issue was.
  • Rating scores for content are weighted based on your standing within the community
    • Are you someone who posts frequently?  A popular mod contributor? Or a frequent reviewer?  Your ratings will be factored in at a greater rate with our rating algorithm for any content you have rated.
  • Acronym detection to help new comers. 
    • Don't know what 'OMW supports TR' means? Hover over the words the expanded text!
  • Ability for community leaders to create sub-communities
    • This is a self-serve function automatically available to users who meet certain criteria, allowing them to create sub-communities for their tools, mod-packs, etc. - including their own sub-forums and downloads pages.
  • Mod and resource makers can now list their attribution preferences on their profile for others to see

    • Note - descriptors subject to change until we lock it in, intent will remain
  • Added a Discord widget for the Morrowind Modding Community channel
  • Added a donation box widget
  • Added both Steam and Google login methods
    • Can add more, such as Facebook, if people would like this?

  • Added a DLC and External Dependency field for Downloads
  • Added a How to Use Communities guide and published a link to it from the Communities page
  • Started work on REST API documentation
  • Published Documentation page to new Support section
  • Added Giphy integration
    • Happy Joy GIF by SpongeBob SquarePants


MODIFIED:

  • Made upload and download buttons clearer
  • Made text size of certain site elements larger
  • Configured and migrated content from Downloads module to use an AWS S3 bucket, instead of web storage
  • Site width now set tot 75% (responsive)
