Canderis Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 A recent update to the nexus sites now added the ability to add new games to their sites and one of the first new ones added was knights 2. If you guys want to upload your mods there now it is probably a good mirror to have and a good place to get this community more popular.

expert01 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Note that they also host KOTOR 1 files as well. The more files people host there, the sooner they'll add support to Nexus Mod Manager for automatic mod installs and conflict resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Who runs/administers the KotOR nexus sites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthtyren Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Who runs/administers the KotOR nexus sites? Someone who apparently needs money to keep it going. There isn't one free membership option available. I'm sorry, but DeadlyStream is likely to remain the best place for hosting KotOR mods for a long while. So I'm sticking with it.

DarthParametric Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Lol, you don't need to pay to use the Nexus sites. Yes, it costs money to run, just like any hosting service does. And when you are running what is almost certainly the single largest mod repository on earth, it costs quite a bit (they spent $250,000 on server upgrades this year). Donations/premium membership is entirely optional though. I've never paid them a cent, and I've used it to download Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Witcher, and Dragon Age mods for years, not to mention hosting some of my own mods there.

What I wanted to know was who would we go to if a mod, for whatever reason (ported content, lack of permissions, etc.) needed to be removed. Because sooner or later, those issues will come up.

Apologies. And to answer DarthInsidious's question, they have very active admins/staff, so one probably need only shoot them a PM saying "action is needed for [insert mod and reason]".

Nexus isn't new too hosting mods. So I'm certain they have moderators you can easely contact when there's somesort 'abuse' or 'illegale' use of our own mods. IIRC, there have been issues with Oblivion mods, which they dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but neither is moddb, and when I tried to contact them a few years ago, I never got a response to my rquest that they take down some mods uploaded without the authors' permissions. Sadly, not every modding community places quite the same emphasis on mod authors' rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The Nexus is far more proactive in policing its rules, and they have a strict policing regarding author's rights. There is a system in place for dealing with such problems. Simply go to the mod's page, and click on the Report File button (in the "Actions" row, under the stats). In the dialogue window that pops up there is a drop-down menu to specify the particular issue, one of which is stealing/unauthorised distribution. Provide some basic info and the mod will be flagged for the moderators to deal with. Btw, thanks for the heads up Canderis. I have uploaded a couple of my mods.

Darth InSidious Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good to know, thanks. Also, it appears you can create a free account, by ignoring all of the tickboxes and hitting 'create account'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canderis Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 A mod had popped up that was uploaded without the author's permission, USM, and I reported it and it was down by the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
