New Utility Mod - Should I put the docs here?[edit | edit source]
I'm getting close to releasing a beta of my current WIP which is something of a general utility mod for both modders and players (but primarily for modders). It started out as a hotkey/menu system mod, but in the process of implementing that I've added in a large number of features to make modding in general easier and less tedious/time-consuming as well as add new capabilities that are somewhat complex. The amount of info is too much to put into a readme file, so I'm looking to put the 'docs' on a wiki -- I was thinking UESP originally, since that's where COBL is and my project is similar to COBL, but I saw discussion here about whether COBL info belongs here or not, and in a lot of ways my project is more similar to OBSE. It also relies heavily on pluggy. I've put an overview of the features included/planned on my user page (click my signature) so please go check that out and let me know what you think.

- The UESP may be more reliable than the CS Wiki, that's the only reason I can think of why you should not put your documentation here. The Wiki has been offline a few times, sometimes longer than others, and its future is uncertain. I think the CS Wiki is the most appropriate place to put it, but not the most reliable one.
- I'm still waiting on parts for my new rig and I can't mod atm, but I'm eager to see what new tool you've got for us.

- Hmm, that's good insight -- I think I will go with UESP, and maybe figure out somewhere on here to put a link to there. I'm *this close* to a first beta version... basically just have to add yet-another-preprogrammed menu option so that I can incorporate inventory/spellbok renaming and deletion into the core mod. I swear I've rewritten the Key Poller at least 10 times now, and changed the keymap.ini format at least 5 times.

- UESP more reliable than CS Wiki? That... has not been my experience.

- I've never seen the UESP offline, but I can easily be wrong here, I don't have a lot of experience with the UESP.

- I've personally never seen this site offline but I haven't been modding for very long, comparatively. UESP does seem to get overloaded (or something) pretty frequently -- it'll be fine and then it will stop responding for 10-15 minutes. Oh well.

- I've seen it down (more than us anyway, the Wiki's only been down like 3 times in the last two years), and I get non/very slow response from them fairly often...
