Question about mods

from Elemental Forums

Sorry if this is a dumb question...how do you verify that you're actually running a mod map and not just a random seed?

I figured out how to access mods ingame and download them to my profile. I dled then selected Frogboy's megamap for a new sandbox game. Problem is, I can't find any notification to let me know that's what I'm playing. I expected an icon or something as in other games, such as civ that tells you, yes, you're running XYZ mod. I must be missing something--any help is much appreciated.

You should be able to load the map when you make a game by clicking the Load button next to the world map.

As for actual mods, as long as "Use Mods" is checked in the settings, every downloaded mod is automatically enabled. I was actually surprised this morning when I started a quick sandbox, and a tile/quest I made in beta showed up in the random map.. guess I forgot to delete the files. It would be nice to have a screen that shows which mods are running, and allow unloading/preventing them from loading on start.

Thanks--I did load the map, there just didn't seem to be a notification to verify it was actually the one running.
