Not able to upload my mod

Post by Wybbw »

****solved*** just waited a few hours





I go to submit my mod and I get this message: Status:  Invalid
File: PulseRifle_1.0.0.zip (334 KB)
Server error: Network Error

Is it something on my end or are the servers having issues? not to sure what to do the file is zip but I used WinRAR to zip it. Does that effect the outcome??

Another way of hosting it, and it's definitely small enough, is to attach it to a forum post somewhere over here. That's why I'm not the only player taking pollution damage despite having a much more serious problem with the mod portal. (Problem TL;DR: I get a "FORBIDDEN" error, which implies my account is blocked from uploading.)

Going OT: My mod appears to be rather unpopular, probably because it is rather un-Factorio-like to be that environmentally friendly. It the sprites, it's obvious the guy is wearing a respirator from the moment he lands. *gasp* Maybe he's one of those kids all growed up!
