Adding a few mods

[RunningWolf]

So have been looking at a few graphics/texture mods.... examples: Sytner's Satellite Maps, and Mega Mod Pack.

First off are these on the NoNo list of things that are bad?

Second, which directories do I put them in?

Few years ago logged on to a server with the frogs and it killed the experience for me (for a few years).... half the fun of SWG was having to work through stuff instead of having everything handed to me.

Hi Wolf,
The only mods that are prohibited are as listed on the rules page (http://swgawakening.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=503), which are essentially weather mods or other combat-enhancing mods.

The installation process for the mods is usually listed as a readme with the downloads, or at least are listed at the location from which you downloaded. Some are quite brilliant, others I am a bit more lukewarm but I encourage you to experiment with them.

Thanks, will check out the prohibited list.

The graphics don't bug me all that much but if there are better textures out there I'm game to try them out.

I think I saw that most of the players here are in their 40s (I'm an old fart too, 47). "Back in day we had the vic 20". Running on a laptop with no issues. To me the graphics aren't a deal breaker but trying them out of curiosity.

If my programming skills weren't 15 years out of date and my Blender skills were better I'd be trying to make some of the stuff on my own.

Even so, if you're in the mood to dabble send me a PM.
