Description
Share and Discover, this in-game mod recommender (with short descriptions made by both players and modders contributions in-game)
(it is an alternative to steam workshop page, steam collections, video content from tiktok, youtube, reddit...)

helps you find cool, hidden gems, must have, this should be vanilla, under-rated, under-appreciated, not well-known, under-the-radar mods (300 to 200k subscribers)
(lost in #15 plus page of steam workshop) you might miss otherwise.
Your 👍 support makes a difference!

Motivation
A mod to share others mods, that is designed to be a collective space where everyone can contribute, not just a select few. It's an in-game alternative to navigating the depths of the Steam Workshop, where many gems get buried beyond the 7th page, and not every mod gets its moment in the "Most Popular Items in the past week" spotlight.

It transcends the limitations of singular voices, like individual Steam collections or content creators who highlight mods on video platforms. Unlike Reddit, where recommendations scatter across numerous posts with a bias towards the most popular, leaving lesser-known mods (those with around 100k subscribers) in the dark, our platform consolidates recommendations.

This initiative aims to create a central hub for discovering mods without effort, ensuring they don’t fade into obscurity over time. It provides a unique opportunity to stumble upon something new every time you play, fuelled by the community's collective insights and enthusiasm.
Features:
  • Passive Recommendations: Get a updated list of curated mods every time you load your game.
  • Seamless Steam Integration: See a mod you like? Click and subscribe directly in the Steam overlay.
  • Browse options: automatic scrolls, passively cycle through recommendations or actively search the list.
  • Customizable Interface: Minimize the window and move it for a clean experience.
  • Community Sharing: Share your favorite mods with others!

Glad to help!

thanks for reporting :spiffo:, i updated with a fix

Btw, the error only shows when creating a new world for the first time.
CuyZ4 3 Apr, 2024 @ 5:37am 
Here's all the info I could get:
The error comes from the mod ModSpotlight Discovery v3
It is logged in C:\Users\Username\Zomboid\console.txt
Starting at the line 19002 and ending at the line 19025.
Here's the first lines so you can find it easily:

`attempted index: isCollapsed of non-table: null
function: isCollapsed -- file: MS_Panel.lua line # 31 | MOD: ModSpotlight Discovery v3
function: save -- file: MS_Panel.lua line # 36 | MOD: ModSpotlight Discovery v3
java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index: isCollapsed of non-table: null

can you use error magnifier to tell me the line and file?
CuyZ4 3 Apr, 2024 @ 1:14am 
Hey! I was testing it and seems like the required mod ModSpotlight v3 shows a red Error notification when starting a new game.
The mod still works perfectly fine, but I just wanted to let you know about it.

some relevant, stable, changes from modspotlight will be integrated by this

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

@cuyz4 none atm, but that will be stable version, and modspotlight will be dev version
