Wrong URL in Newbie Modding Guide (?)

[665c3bef0f9edSnow]

Hi. In the Newbie Modding Guide, the entry "SHTUP-ND (object texture upgrade)" links here:
https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447

But it seems to me that it should link here:
https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=22.0

By the way, it would be a big help if the Newbie Modding Guide included direct download links to the required zip files of the listed mods. Because the individual threads often have lots of files attached, and it's not always obvious from first glance which are needed and which are outdated or unnecessary.

I pasted the wrong URL. The enry for SHTUP currently links here:
https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=7116

that is actually correct, as SHTUP-ND downloads are attached to their respective SCP releases. but I guess linking directly to the newest release is probably a good idea - done.

They link to threads and not downloads for 3 good reasons. And the first reason is enough already:
1. Because we want you to visit that thread and see who did the work and give you the opportunity to thank them and give these mod authors feedback. And if you don't care about that we don't care about you. Seriously.
2. Linking to downloads would require to update the Newbie Guide much more often.
3. It's technically impossible due to hotlink protection.
