Hi all,
I did some calculations on the mod stats on xelerus. In particular I was interested to find trends on the most appreciated mods. Is the most downloaded ? No because there are mods up for years and others only for weeks. Is it the most downloaded/day ? well, values are biased for recent mods, as today the community is larger than in the past so recent mods will receive more downloads/day than past mods. So what I did was to calculate the downloads/day and weight the results with the total number of downloads.

TOP 30 Fastest downloaded mods on xelerus (more than 2 downloads/day, number represents the actual number of downloads/day)

Oookay... :shock:

My Raptor mod was uploaded only a few days ago. Is the calculation a division of the total number of downloads against the number of days the mod has been uploaded on Xelerus?

Yes, recent mods are of course biased as they are quickly downloaded by players to check on the novelty. That's why I also made a weighted top 30 that takes in consideration the actual total number of downloads. (downloads^2/days)

The Network seems to be near the top of every chart there, isn't it buggy/out of date now?
Perhaps if RPC can get Uncharted to stop being so finnicky then it would be more popular as a replacement.

It's quite awesome because it's like DynSys built into Uncharted without random generation. Too bad Huarimarca doesn't work anymore *sigh*.
