=.= I would pay for someone to make WeGame work with this. My users use two video sites... YouTube and WeGame and no one ever adds WeGame, yet it's one of the most popular gaming video sites there is for high def machinima. You are my last hope.

(frustrated) Even if someone gave a detailed explanation of HOW to add a new video site, I jump all over it and figure it out on my own. I cant get this done with other video sharing mods either, even when I offered to pay for it to be added.

Then i'm sorry - i don't know, why it doesen't work.

Maybe safemod is enabled for your server?

surviver, this is a good mod.
when will you (approx.) plan on releasing the 1.1.0 final?

Also, does the "Video Directory FH List" by twilley work in combination with this modification?

Thanks!
