How to change a mod name?

Post by mooklepticon »

My mod, Wood Gas, is named poorly. I didn't realize I had an underscore in the official name. So made a new version and one of the changes was to fix the name. The mod portal doesn't like this:
chrome_2016-10-02_07-43-36.png
chrome_2016-10-02_07-43-36.png (6.73 KiB) Viewed 1620 times
How do I fix this?

If it's not possible, can I delete my old mod and upload the new one with the fixed name? I don't see an option to delete my mod from the portal.

I've not tested this myself, but if you go to the edit screen of your mod in the portal there should be small "x" buttons over each of the zips you've uploaded, delete all of the zips and that _should_ delete your mod from the portal.

If that doesn't work, see: viewtopic.php?f=189&t=32664
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.
