[1.0.0] Fails parsing mod zip file.

In my test, without zipping, the mod works correctly. But after I zipped it, it doesn't show in mod list. The game doesn't parse it.
Is this a bug or did I mess anything up?

Are you sure this zip file is not corrupted?

It's not corrupted. The characters are simplified Chinese character for I'm mainlander. Sometimes we write some Chinese. Emmm.
Any way, thank you for your help. I'm gonna upload the new zip.
But, could this issue be solved in the future?

It is preffered if the file names use the standard asci, there are lot of programs and sytems that don't support special characters, and I prefer to keep it simple.

What tool did you use to create the zip file? I used 7-zip to create a test mod with a garbage file named "坤為地は世界测验 [測驗] cèyàn 实验 [實驗].txt" and it loads fine. My guess is that corruption of zip files mostly happens when the creating program doesn't properly set the character encoding (i.e. is bugged).

There are indeed lots of broken programs where the programmers refuse to admit they're broken. So far i didn't get the impression that factorio is one of them. UTF8 is not magic. Languages that can be properly represented with ASCII are a tiny minority.

Yeah, sure, thanks. Will do.

I named some of the files with simplified Chinese. No idea about the reason. Anyway, I'm not gonna make this mistake anymore. Thanks.
