When loading game mod throws no errors, and doesn't load

[Peacerino]

At the title suggests my mod is a dud. It doesn't do anything unfortunately. Any help is the big appreciate. Additionally I was following this tutorial by Klonan.TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lPNOOVYeMU

Hi !
At first look, you have made many mistakes :

- In your "info" file : Your extention is wrong : you make a .lua, but you need a .json;
- Inside the info file, you forgot to indicate the game version and the dependencies;
- In your /local/en folder, you have a local.cfg, rename it to config.cfg

It's just a rapid look, try to fix that et feed back ^^


For your info file :

Code: Select all

{
    "name": "ez_electric_furnace",
    "version": "0.1",
    "title": "EZ Electric Furnace",
    "author": "Gurekaperson",
    "contact": "",
    "homepage": "",
    "factorio_version": "0.16",
    "dependencies": ["base >= 0.16"],
    "description": "adds an easy electric furnace."
}

- In your /local/en folder, you have a local.cfg, rename it to config.cfg

Why?

Maybe his "local.cfg" work, but in this tutorial https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Modd ... sir#Locale, he says to name the file like that !

In the mod folder, create a folder called locale, then create another folder inside that called en, then a file called config.cfg.

The name doesn't matter, the tutorial is just an example, you also don't have to follow the folder structure etc.

The file needs to be a zip not a rar...

I found an old version of my mod on a dropbox! How do I close this thread?
