this is a good idea because i often have to downgrade my version of a mod after upgrading it because someone is hosting with an outdated version. its no big deal but kinda strange to keep changing the version

Mod version management in the vault

2014-04-13T19:30:05+02:00

Just a couple of suggestions to make managing mods on the vault easier. I came across these thoughts since lately I've been uploading many version of my "rks_explosions" mod to the vault, and people seem confused when a new version comes out (the newer one is not even displayed without hitting the search button, because it has 0 likes when it gets uploaded). This also prevents me from making hotfixes to an existing version, since it would require a version increment, and begin the confusion all over again.

Therefore I suggest we add two things:

#1: It should be possible to (optionally) overwrite an older version of a mod on the vault (and prompt everyone that uses the older version to download the newer one). For example, I upload V3 of my mod at one point. A few weeks later, I upload V4. The mod vault should not offer to download V3, but only V4, and when someone who still has V3 hosts a game, it would make them download V4 automatically. (if possible: V3 and older versions should only show up to the uploader, for backup reasons.)

#2: It should be possible to upload a "hotfix" to an existing version of the mod without increasing the version. (keep the version number the same as before the hotfix)
