right the new masterlist had been updated today, and is being so continually as we speak. All DC mods so far are on there and i have just reported the last missing cuo ones that had been missed.

Basically IMHO this is now one of the most vital tools for anyone with more than a few mods as it does all the work for you. so anyone can use it.

Probably is already in mod support but cant be any harm in making it more eye catching but i think before we reply to those with mod problems they should have BOSSed their order as prerequisite before we offer assisstance. i know it sounds a little harsh but its so easy theres no reason not to do it and will hopefully save alot of time in the future, fixing problems with load orders

I would advise against a full requirement of that sort. Some people actually prefer to reasearch their mods and work on creating the load order themselves instead of having boss do it for them. I use boss and 90% of mod users probably should to but the 10 % that actally do work on their load order and know what they are doing should be alowed to do so. Then again, usualy said 10% wouldn't need tech support but you never know. If you are going to require BOSS, you would probably eliminate many many times more problems by requiring that users use OMODs. (Unless you are one of the aforementioned 10%, there is almost no reason not to be using OBMM)


*I should mention that 90% of statistics are made up on the spot.

You don't have to require BOSS usage, but it can be the very first piece of advice offered if their issue sounds like it may be load-order related. Just don't forget that BOSS isn't infallible. The load order in BOSS is fully dependent on what people on the Beth forums report or the BOSS team determine to be the likely correct load-order position for a mod. So while BOSS probably will get it right, there will be times when it doesn't (in which case tell them on the Beth forums so corrections can be made) plus there is the issue that any mod not yet on the BOSS masterlist will be placed at the end of your load order awaiting human intervention - and many people just don't understand this bit and assume that either those at the end belong there, or that BOSS must be broken.
