    Published on 04-27-2013 02:12 AM

    This is just a little informative post letting you know I've just installed a minor update to the Torchlight 2 Mods Database. Among some bugifxes, the following changes have been made:

    • Screenshots can now appropriately be chosen as a thumbnail, and thumbnails of the correct size will be generated.
    • A "Who's Online" and Database Statistics box has been implemented
    • The Search box in the TL2 Mods Database now appropriately searches only within the category of the page you are on.
    • The Sidebar now appropriately shows results within all child categories.


    If you have any problems, feel free to let me know in this thread. I don't know if this update will solve the "Unregistered User Upload" problem, but if it doesn't I'll keep on trying to hunt it down. ...

    A Call to the Community for Volunteers! 

    by
    Webbstre
    Published on 04-05-2013 05:36 AM

    Hello all! Today I'm posting hoping to get some of you with a bit too much free time and an urge to help the community.

    You see, in the past five months we've built up a large collection of Pre-GUTS mod files - 288 File listings with nearly 900 files contained within. A good number of those files are screenshots, and a couple are simply mirror links to other download locations, and several are shared stash "mods", but most of them are carefully created mods by creative people who've come by sometime after Torchlight 2 was released.

    GUTS has only been out for a few days, but at the time of this writing on 17 mods are listed in the Post-GUTS Torchlight 2 section of the database. Meanwhile, you can find a HUGE number of Pre-GUTS mods converted and available on Steam Workshop (121 Mods at the time of this writing).

    What I'd like is for 5-10 volunteers to help me update and organize all of the Pre-GUTS mods. Anything that can be converted I would love to have turned into a .mod file and sorted into the appropriate category. Anything that is a Shared Stash mod or something can be sorted into another category. All of the authors' original works will of course be left untouched, merely updated with a .MOD file and a notice so people know the mod was updated.

    Important Note: This volunteer work is easy, but tedious and time consuming. I have a full time job and can not do it myself.

    While I have you for a second, let me be honest: The mods keep this site alive. People come for the mods, the advertisements get hits, and the advertisements pay for the server to keep the site online. Lately it's been a very fine line between being in the black and in the red, though I haven't had to pay out of my own pocket yet. If all of the mods were updated it would help keep this site alive.

    I know of only one other website out there that hosts a lot of mods and isn't owned by an independent company - the TESNexus. I'm acquainted with the owner of that network, and he keeps it alive via more business-like means. I'm impressed by how he manages it all, but that's beyond the scope of my capabilities. I can make tutorials, I can keep the site functional (sometimes just barely), and I can gather talented people to help make tools like HotSpot, but I'm not a business man.

    If anyone out there can help get these mods converted, well that action combined with my future donation-for-No-Advertisements system should be enough to keep the site online for a long time to come. If you are interested send me a PM here on the site and we'll figure out a system to get this taken care of.

    Torchlight 2 Mods Database Updated! Conversion Tutorial Included! 

    by
    Webbstre
    Published on 04-01-2013 03:43 PM

    Edit 2: Uploading now works for regular users again. Simply browse to a category where you want your mod and click the upload button!

    Hello all! To go alongside the latest patch and the release of GUTS, I have updated our Torchlight 2 Mods Database! Pre-GUTS mods can all be found in the Not Mods Category. I have also created a video tutorial for how to convert your .pak mods to the new file format:
    As you can see, .PAK files no longer load if you drop them into your PAKS folder. Instead, a new mods folder exists within the Torchlight 2 directory, in which you drop your .MOD files. These new .MOD files are the only format accepted for upload in the Torchlight 2 section of the database, which means you no longer need to deal with extraction programs!

    Current mod owners should be able to edit their mods' category to fit into the appropriate new sub-category within the database (after updating their download to the new .MOD format). For assistance, and to get your comments threads moved, please contact me via PM.

    If you encounter any problems with the database let me know, and I'll get to them ASAP (after my day job, of course). ...

    Welcome back! After a few hours of downtime the site is now back online with a nicely upgraded Torchlight 2 Mods Database. It appears that there was no loss of content and no broken screenshots, so that's pretty good! Most of the results of this update you won't see until GUTS is released and additional categories are added into the database, but for now you can enjoy such added features as:
    • Mod Listings are now broken into pages for easier sorting.
    • Searching now allows you to search descriptions as well
    • The Search box and sidebar stats
