    As we all know, there are a large number of outdated or obsolete mods on PAMM. I will be going through the mod list and disabling any outdated mods I find in an effort to ensure a superior PAMM experience. I will be updating this post with links to the removed mods as I remove them.

    For the PAMM modlist prior to this, see here: http://pastebin.com/4PEvRLjH

    The only mods which will be removed are those which I am 100% sure no longer work with the current version of PA. If I miss anything, please inform me.

    Removed Mods:
    Player Chat Colors
    Alerts Filter
    Reminder Timer
    Nuketf's SupCom Icons
    Teamspeak Overlay
    Enhanced System Preview
    Armory Commander Preview
    Age of Empires Taunts Mod
    Tatsu's SupCom Icons
    Rainbow Fabrication Shader
    Favorite Commander
    Auto GG Button
    Live Economy Graphs
    rEventHandler
    Advanced Unit Selection
    Spectator Vision
    PAStats Live Charts
    Planet PiP Buttons
    Lobby Renamer
    Dinosaur Fix
    Strategic Build Icons
    Build Power
    Twitch in Main Menu
    Return to Server Browser
    Planet Name Themes
    Caster Sketch Tools
    Custom Unit Names
    Spaced Out Defense Towers
    Economy Efficiency V3
    Stargate Unit Names
    Burntcustard's UI Tweaks
    Metal Planet Background Mod
    Settings Manager
    eXodus eSports Camera Modes
    Annoy Me

    There are a number of mods that I have not found a reason to use recently and am therefore unsure of the status of. If you know of whether these mods work or not, do tell. :) Unsure of:
    Christmas Trees
    wScriptSource
    Mod Ping
    Draggable PiP in PiP
    Tracking PiPs
    PA Mentor
    Building Writer
    Did You Know
    Team Task List
    Hide Uber Bar
    Remove PiP Alerts

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. Was Settings Manager actually broken? Was anything still using it?

    Also, you just nerfed the total mod download count by a few dozen thousand :(
    Still above 250,000 though :)

    that counter should not go down for that though. I mean a downloaded mod is a downloaded mod, even if the mod by now is broken.

    The total download count is based on the sum of downloads for all mods in the list - once a mod is removed, the downloads accrued for it are no longer counted.

    Yeah I guessed as much and said that's not the correct way to implement it :p

    Yep, it's 102% broken. It's been that way for awhile and we're really in need of either a new settings manager or an update to that one. I have a couple mods myself that can't be updated until there's a good settings manager available and I know other modders are in the same boat. I would ask to take it over myself but I really don't have the time for another project right now and I'd also like to work on that PA Modding IDE sometime...

    I stopped after a couple hours last night. I'll resume again in an hour or so.
