Script to zip your mod using info.json

[Pandemoneus]

I was tired of changing the folder name and zipping it to upload it to the Factorio mod portal after I had made changes to my mod, so I made a little python script:

https://github.com/Pandemoneus/ZipMod/b ... /ZipMod.py

Put it into your mod folder and run the script from there. (python ZipMod.py)
The script looks at your info.json, creates the necessary file structure for mods and then zips it.
You will find the zip-file in the same directory as the script.

Feel free to modify/adapt the script.

That's awesome! I had the same problem, but I fixed it with make.

Thanks for reminding me of this. Did you ever update it to handle the "new" (0.13?) requirements for info.json?

What's there to update? I just used the current Makefile to build EvoGUI v0.4.202, but it hasn't functionally changed since forever. I can't imagine what change might be needed.

I think I'm thinking of when they added factorio_version as mandatory in info.json?

The info.json is your own. All the makefile does is replace a few tags with things like the mod name or version.

Enhanced the script a bit to also include file pattern definitions from your .gitignore file, as per suggestion (https://github.com/Pandemoneus/Biter-Spire/issues/2)
