[0.16.22] Similar mod folders interfere with each other

[Mylon]

I had 3 version of the same mod in my mod folder, one named:

Code: Select all

This Tank Stops For Nobody_0.9.0.zip

and

Code: Select all

This_Tank_Stops_For_Nobody_0.9.0.zip

and

Code: Select all

This_Tank_Stops_For_Nobody_0.9.1

(folder)

I was banging my head on the wall wondering why my changes weren't loading. Turns out the game was loading the spaced version and ignoring the underscored version. The underscored version was necessary for the mod portal to accept the file but I hadn't deleted the spaced one. Game was ignoring the underscored version.

I don't understand. The game picks one of the multiple mod(s) to load and ignores the rest.

To clarify, the game picked the older mod (v 0.9.0) to load because it had spaces instead of underscores. This was chosen over the unzipped folder with a higher version number but underscores.

The folder with spaces was an invalid name according to the mod portal, so I renamed the mod to publish it but the old folder interfered with testing the new version.
