A HTTP API to make HTTP calls, including setting verbs and headers as well as content (text/json and binary blobs).The reasons back then weren’t satisfying at all, but basically I could imagine attaching any kind of mod manager if the SH API would offer the following: I’ve actually proposed an API, or rather requested a few methods, that would make such an integration possible in the past, but that was denied. However, in terms of integration - unless Riot provides some sort of API for modders to use, 3rd party tools will - in terms of convenience for your average Joe - always be worse. I think that it’s important to support manual installation of mods (which then kind of implies 3rd party applications as well). I’ve never said that it should be one or the other. It’s still not a great reason to limit the options.
Just the jump from SVN to git, for example, probably killed quite a few sites. From my experience with other games though, I can say that pure download portals survive a lot longer than communities catering to developers - probably because it’s such a volatile environment to be in. Ideally, it would be nice for both parts. Either because they wouldn’t be used, or would be too hard to understand - it’s certainly not a storage issue, because I’m pretty sure Steam keeps copies of everything you’ve uploaded nicely archived. From an UX experience, Steam is probably as easy as you can get - which also means that some features (such as branches) are not available. Users on the other hand - and this isn’t meant as an insult - are mostly the last tech savy people you could imagine, so catering to them is more necessary. I would argue that you can expect from a modder that things are a bit more rough, as they ought to be a bit more resilient to bumps in the road. It’s a difficult choice regarding modders vs.
The time has passed, and I’m not sure if even a proper documentation could make up for it by now. It was fun dabbling around when it was much smaller, simpler and could be overseen much easier, but right now, with all the hidden traps and pits that are in the game, I wouldn’t want to mod it anymroe. No disagreement about the difficulty - like I’ve written in the original post or so, Stonehearth still has a very long way to go. It’s already difficult for me to even make them No, I can’t speak for all modders, but I wouldn’t continue if it was too difficult to share my mods.
