Hi,
I have a site at https://www.kirmiziperfect.com
Some of them may know me from Titan Quest recovery days:
http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40396
I will tel you why i created that site and what is my aim.
After closing of titanquest.net forums i was very unhappy and angry. A company only thinking of their profit just pulled the plug without even asking or warning the community. I wanted to recover all of the labor created by the modders. And i promised a thing like that will never happen again. That was the last flame to push me create the site.
Another reason is when i was browsing Nexus or other modding site i was having a hard time to understand what the mod was about or all of its features. Because the descriptions and files were not very organized. I had to do a lot of research before getting mods work the way i want.
I want to create a place where every mod could be hosted, not deleted, not destroyed on a whim and a place where you can easily read the what the mod does in a clean way, easily download the mod and archiving it for future generations. Some 5 years from now on when i want to play some Grim Dawn mods i don’t want to search the corners of the internet, or finding a site just closed by some random company.
For including mods i have no choice but take the core materials from mod creator’s writing. After all the it is his/her mod and knows everything about it. Also i want to include the original text as much as possible.
But i am not just copy pasting the text. I spend at least 1 hour or more for every mod i put there. I search other posts, i search for problems, compiling everything then I am editing for the order of the explanations, adding headers for easy navigation, putting emphasis to some text, colorify important ones, trying to create a standard and easy way to read for every mod user out there. I want them to see all the important headings before diving into the mod and easily go to the section they want.
Then i download, rename and upload all the images about the mod to my server. Just linking them is the easy way but i don’t do that. This is a caution for preserving them. I also rename every image and try to give them meaningful names one by one. After that, I also re-package the mod files and compress them with .7z to have the best compression for download, also rename them to have a standard system. I also add version numbers if it is missing. I categorize them on my server(mastery mods, gameplay mods etc…) Then i upload them to my server on their respective folder (apart from the categorization in the site, files and dirs also have categorization in server filesystem) for users to download them at a fast speed without hindered by anything.
Apart from that, i am also writing mod guides(my titan quest all mod guides, how to install titan quest with most popular guides and if i find time taking videos which i have done for titan quest camera mod collection.) I was going to make something like that for Grim Dawn too after i completed including all the mods on my site. Complete description and summary of all the mods. And that is why i was rushing to add every one of them.
What i am trying to say is that i am not lazily copy pasting the mods for cheap profit. I am trying to create something different, a good place for gamers. I have been working for this site since 6 months. Full time. I have no hidden, pop-up annoying ads, no re-directs. I have spent a lot of money for the site (and continue to do so) and full 6 months of my time for that site.
I have accomplished that goal for Titan Quest and for Anniversary Edition. You can see nearly every TQ mod and tool there. For AE, mod creators are uploading their mods to Workshop and not everyone them providing an external link. People who bought the game from GOG can not access the files. By putting them to my site i have provided these people to try and play the TQ:AE mods. A lot of people e-mailed and thanked me about that.
This is a site for gamers from gamers. I am looking after the servers and codes, optimizing the server, paying up the server and bandwidth costs. I am trying my best for this site to be a really beatiful and rich place for gamers. Even someday i couldn’t keep up with the costs, someone could take over and continue that work. All mods will be in one place and organized.
I am asking you to help me. The biggest help i can get from you is that you let me share your mods on the site. Let me be your editor. If you don’t something there, i can change it. Though the public registration system will be opened soon, i can give any mod creator an administrator account to control their mod pages the way they want. I am to open to all suggestions. Let’s make this dream come true.
About the Site Name:
Kırmızı Perfect name dates back to our chilhood with arcade machines. The children playing there created their own jargon in gaming. When you beat someone without a scratch in fighthing games like Street Fighter you get “Perfect”, but if you managed to do it when you have only one-hit HP left then you would get “Kırmızı Perfect”. Kırmızı means “red” in Turkish. “Red Perfect”. Your HP bar is full of red and you get to win. Thus “Kırmızı Perfect”
Special thanks to my friend snyzer for this great but nearly forgotten name! Now this name will continue to live on.
