Standalone mods and addons Thread - Desura

Suggestion:
An install setting (checkbox) that enables installation of stand-alone mods (mods that don't require the original game to play).

Suggested installation path:
Desura Application folder (/Common/) just like games

Suggested install settings checkboxes:
(game profile) This game supports standalone mods and addons that can be played without the game installed/owned
(mod profile) This mod is completely standalone and doesn't require the original game to play

For standalone mods such as:
Bananasauros for Commander Keen, Ya3dag for Quake II, Twisted Insurrection for C&C Tiberian Sun (and many more!).

That way no mod would have to be moved to Games section, and can be installed in a stand-alone way it is and still be tied to the original game as mod developers wish so.

Good idea feilyne, How ever since mods are free and we have more pressing issues with paid content atm prob wont happen for a while

Thanks. Hmm, would it be easy to do? It seems that only a code snippet to pass by usual checking whether the original game is installed would be needed (plus web GUI for checkboxes). A simple "ignore install checks" option. ;-)

Would like to publish these three stand-alone mods
Twisted Insurrection Moddb.com
The Dawn of Tiberium Age Moddb.com
