Kryo's Hull Mod - A request to the devs

from GalCiv2 Forums
I understand how you do not want the MV games moddable, however could you please see it within yourselves to allow the use of Kryo's hull mod in MV games?

I realize you do not want to officially sanction the mod, however is it not possible to work with your moderator Kryo to allow the use of his mod?
Frogboy himself commented that the mod is how the ship building should be and the mod does not give any advantage to the user. It is purely a visual mod that many members enjoy using.

I for one would switch back to playing more MV games if the mod were compatible as i find it adds a great new fun aspect to the game.

Could you please see it within yourselves to get this one small 'upgrade' to work in MV games.

Many thanks

BTW i am not asking for this to be awkward, but to further the 'pull' of the MV and hopefully to get more people playing that side of the game some more.

More MV players = More Empires = More interaction in the forums & hopefully a reduction in ludicrous 'flame' posts (strange though it may be this did work in the old GCIMV days)

actually, the mod i would want available would be an interface mod. you know, be able to move the minimap away from the turn button and whatnot.

Whats Kyro's mod? Sounds neat. But since I only play Metaverse games now, guess It doesnt really matter.

I can't specifically allow Kryo's mod; the metaverse code just checks for changes; it does not try to analyze the nature of the changes, which would take longer and introduce more complexity.   I do regret that it does not work with the metaverse now.  I can't promise any changes to either the modding or ship design code because I don't know if I'll have time, but if I do have time, I will see what I can do.

I can add another option to allow just Interface mods in a future version.
