Video Games Mod for MobyGames - Scripts available
Posted: 2007-02-18 19:58:04
Hi everyone
I have created a Mod (language file + script) for a nice Database about video games (www.mobygames.com)
It retrieves almost everything interesting (Big picture, description, credits, release date, technical specifications, developer, publisher...) and seems to work pretty well.
Please report any bug or request any feature (that is not in the to-do list ) you'd like
Current version: 2.1b (February 23, 2007)
Language file, Script and exportation template
