great concept but honestly if you have enough skills to make a playable mod that people would actually be interested in then logically you should just make your own game. Deprecate the game and make something better that co-opts the community makes more sense.

Thats why bluedrake made harsh doorstep instead of modding squad.

OWI needs to sort themselves out for sure

"Hey everyone, I have no coding or modding experience and demand everyone to spend dozens of hours, perhaps hundreds, on creating FREE content"

Step 1. Learn coding/modding yourself and be the foundation of this.

Then don't demand ♥♥♥♥ if you don't want to put in the effort to be the first

The sad thing is there would be so many more modders working on workshop projects that did all the things you want and more; unfortunately OWI have consistently undermined the efforts of anyone trying to make and maintain successful mods for this title.

They used to highlight and advertise mods, they even purchased a couple to add to the main game, but every time they released a patch that required a corresponding update to the SDK, it would be weeks or months before mods could be recompiled to get them functional on the current version.
Then there was the segregation of modded servers into their own browser, and the awful whitelisting process.

I haven't seen mention of mods in the newsletters for a long time, but to be fair I haven't bothered trying to mod anything for this game since one of their updates left my first mod in a state where I would have to delete, remake, and re-upload as a new project. So maybe they have improved and modding is now encouraged and supported in meaningful ways.
I very much doubt it though, and I imagine there are many other players who were once willing to spend their time adding to this game that feel the same way.

But as DrunkenTee states above - if you want something changing so much that you feel it necessary to demand that change, you should step up and spearhead the charge to implement it.
I'll assume you are too busy earning fat stacks of cash to spend your precious free time on modding, in which case you could offer up some of your hard earned Dogecoin to employ others to do it for you - I mean your not some kind of commie are you?!

Can't make money off free stuff in the workshop. The delayed SDK is likely no accident.

Another new patch next week would require the SDK be updated again anyway. Squad: Vietnam has been in development for around 3 years so just imagine how many times they've had to completely update their mod...

squad vietnam cant come fast enough

Looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff you come out with, Ronin!

Sincerely,

Your workshop has.. wallpaper engine creations.

i would never put effort to patch the mods time after time every patch the developers of the game comes out with.. it seems like someone else is the problem and not the modders, modders did their great job and someone ruins it time after time
