Well as you may have heard, the last host was very unstable and just couldnt provide the services and support that we as a community needed.

So after receiving a message from one of the EA forum members, by the name of chickndipp, we have found ourselves a more stable and productive home.

The switch over to cncworld will mean that we have a permanent place in the community, and since we are the first and only documentation project dedicated to the ModSDK (as far as we are are aware so far), then we hope that this new and improved platform will bring us closer to cracking this giant puzzle EA has delivered us.

When all is said though, you must admit that this is what makes us want to mod, doing the things we want to when we shouldnt be able to.

Well since the 1.2 release of BuildModExpress had some serious issues which led to the removal of the files for download, I am happy to say that a full remake is ready to be used.

Version 2 includes most feature addition and also fixes numerous bugs that were found.

The new feature list is as follows:

- Build mod.xml : Runs binaryassetbuilder on mod.xml, the standard way of building your mod.

- Build mod_l.xml : Runs binaryassetbuilder on mod_l.xml if it exists, if it doesnt, it will create a mod_l.xml from your mod.xml. Solving the LOD problem so many of you had.

- Copy Mod.str : Copies your mod.str file if it exists.

- Copy Shaders : Copies Shaders from the normal folder, and also copies any shaders found in MOD SDK\Mods\Your Mod\Shaders.

- Copy Ini : Copies any Ini files found in MOD SDK\Mods\Your Mod\Ini ready to be included into your big archive.

- Run Make Big : Creates a big archive of your mod and copies it to your mod folder in My Docs.

- Create SkuDef : Creates a SkuDef for your mod from the infomation gathered in the application such as mod version and game version.

- Cleanup : Cleans up your MOD SDK\Builtmods\mods folder to ensure clean builds of your mods.

Any commensta nd feedback are always welcome as usual.

After speaking personally with Steve during the setup and transfer of the new system, he has shown quite a commitment to the development and organisation of the Documentation project on a whole, which is why the decision has been made to appoint him as the most recent addition to the administration team here at ModSDK.Mine.Nu.

We hope Steve enjoys his stay with us, and also welcome his many talents such as his flair for writing clear and consise guides as well as his web development skills which will no doubt be of value in the future of the project.

So please welcome him, and check out his Custom Structures guide which can be found in the Wiki.
