The NativeUI library itself has performance issues. You could code up a menu-lite for your purposes.

It'd be really really really nice if Markdown could be used for mod descriptions, like it's used in forum posts here already. It would make lists and such much easier, for example.

Pretty please?

@ Dark0ne

Something I discussed in that feedback thread was an option for mod authors to default to their comment section rather than having to do the extra click to get to it -- since you don't need to see your description first thing on your own mod pages. Think that would help that issue?

That'd be neat, yes.

We haven't changed that since "the Rappo days", but we can certainly make a change if people think it's necessary.

Actually, before the previous batch of changes the displayed mods on the front page were all new uploads. Now also new updates for old uploads show. I don't really mind, but it's certainly confusing to see a 2-year old mod on the FP. I think newer original uploads deserve more exposure than old established mods. Some mods (like some of mine) are updated fairly frequently, which would basically spam the front page.

Enjoy the holiday! It'd be nice if the developers were available for casual contact (Discord) or something, though I can understand not wanting to engage with ridiculous (amounts of) requests

I personally disliked having a thin description bar where stuff couldn't be inserted, so I like this new wider central description with comments on a new tab. It makes the user glance at the description first before posting very obvious questions with two extra levels of hints (pinning, featuring) to point them in the right direction.

So... when's Markdown coming?

Eats ~30 FPS when opened.

Nice, but OpenIV is 10 years of reverse engineering.

Rockstar should still have all the source code, all the versioning, all the encryption keys, everything, to make a much better tool to use internally.

If this was an original product, sure, but this is the effort of years of reverse-engineering. Why would a big firm who has their own toolkit, need help from a bunch of hobbyist reverse engineers?

There's a (sub-par, because I got my grubby hands on it) alternative that just needs some updating and cleanup. Pretty sure other experienced modders have their SHV-drop-in replacements also ready.

@MAFINS
Thanks! Default aesthetics work probably.

@ashishcw
None, but beware that it's for SHV, not SHVDN sadly.

Menu usage poll

So I have an indication of how/what the preference is. In case it'd be a library like NativeUI, I'll probably need to work longer on it.

@MAFINS
What are/were the circumstances, is it a direct thing from the GTA:O C&D or is this aimed specifically at the SP client?
