"Unknown Error" when uploading a mod

Post by Skyshrim »

I'm attempting to upload my first mod, but it just won't work. Is this a common issue or am I just unlucky as usual?

Here's a little taste of my mod, Unstoppable Trains: https://gfycat.com/DefiantForsakenKarakul



Am I missing something on the submit page?

Do I need a github link or something to make this work? I'm losing my mind trying to fix this.

Here's a link to the mod on my github: https://github.com/Skyshrim/Skyshrim-s- ... _0.0.1.zip
If anyone can point out something wrong with it that would cause the error, I would love you forever.

Hi Skyshrim, I'm sorry for not getting to you earlier.

The reason the mod portal rejects your mod is a problem in your info.json: the name of your mod must contain alphanumeric characters, dash, or underscore (no space).

The mod portal should report this, but due to an error it only said "Unknown error". I have fixed this now and I apologize for the trouble.
