[Mod Portal] - Invalid Name

Post by TreefrogGreaken »

Hello,

Trying to sumbit my mod to the portal but keep getting a Failure on the name in info.json, saying that it isn't formatted correctly, yet I cant see any mistakes?

Code: Select all

{
	"name": "Water As A Resource",
	"version": "0.2.0",
	"factorio_version": "0.16",
	"title": "Water As A Resource",
	"author": "TreefrogGreaken",
	"contact": "",
	"homepage": "",
	"description": "Turns Water into a non infinite resource",
	"dependencies": ["base >= 0.16"]
}
Mod runs fine otherwise ingame.

Hmmmm, but then why does Flow Control work?

Code: Select all

{
	"name": "Flow Control",
	"version": "3.0.3",
	"title": "Flow Control",
	"author": "GotLag",
	"homepage": "https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=20645",
	"description": "Adds pipes with restricted connections, and several useful valves.",
	"factorio_version": "0.16"
}
I've changed my mod and it has been uploaded successfully. DOesnt explain why Flow Control gets away with it though.

Because it was created before the rule got implemented.
