There are many ways to find maps and mods on PlanetPhillip.Com. One way is to search, but that is only useful if you know what you are looking for. Another way is to browse. This way you might find something that you wouldn’t ordinarily find interesting.
No links are provide here because they can all be found in the header menus, sidebar and sitemap.
Here are the ways to browse the site.
Single Player Maps and Mods List
Use the menu below the header image. This gives access to all the maps and mods, separated into each game. Perfect if you only own one or two games from the series.
Text Tags
Each map or mod has keywords or phrases associated with them. They help describe the type of content of the map or mod. Each tag should be self-explanatory. For more information please visit the Tags Guide.
Visual Tags
I have created a page that displays each tag as an image. Visual Tags can make it easy to find the maps and mods that contain the types of things you like. By clicking on an image you will be taken to a list of maps and mods that contain that Tag (Keyword). Not all TAGs have a visual equivalent.
Modwalls
This is a project to present maps and mods in a simple image wall. Each image is a link to the respective map or mod. Hover over each to view a tool tip that displays the map or mod name, game and publication date. The images are in chronological order, with the most recent at the top. My favourite maps and mods have a little purple icon in the bottom right hand corner to help identify them.
The modwalls are split into year, but as of February 2010 I will also be creating the mother of all modwalls, which contains ALL the thumbnails from every year. Please note that it only currently contains a few years worth of thumbnails.
