Suggestions / Organizing/Improving the Mods Screen

« on: July 09, 2014, 11:34:28 pm »

I download a lot of mods, and I like organizing, so I thought I'd share a few ideas for improving the mods option screen.

Right now, it's a list of Yes - No (on, off) names. This works fine to a point, but once you get a large number of rulesets to toggle, it can be really inconvenient.

What I think would help, is adding folders that the user can create and put the rulesets into, that the options screen then displays for you in game.

For some added functionality, you could have an All On and All Off option next to the folders.

Another consideration is load orders for mods, but I don't know how to handle that right now, I'll think about it later.

Suggestions / Importing Saves

All of the talk about creating a hybrid game and it's technical difficulties made me think of alternative solutions to creating a sense of continuity. Importing your save from EU to TFTD.

In my mind this would only need to take the ranking soldiers of X-Com and place them in your TFTD game with maybe some kind of aging penalty (for a sort of balancing I guess?).

Anyway, I think this is a good idea that no one (I saw) was mentioning, so I thought I'd make a topic for it. Do you guys think this is a good idea? What would you like to see in a feature such as this?
