The mod I'm currently making is dependent on two mods made by Ranakastrasz, his Agent Orange mod v.0.0.6 (or higher) and his Flare capsule mod (v0.0.2 or higher), but I can't figure out exactly what to write in the Dependencies line:

Currently, I say this, which gives an error message:
"dependencies": ["base >= 0.13.9", "Agent Orange >= 0.0.6","Flare >- 0.0.2"],


Failed to load mod 34 Gifts 0.0.1
Mod 34-Gifts dependency Flare >- 0.0.2 not matching pattern "[?]
Modname [Modversion specifier]".


I have no idea what exactly the pattern is. It's not hugely important since the mod will probably work fine for its intended use, a private MP game, where everybody will have the exact same package of mods installed anyway, including those mods that this one depends on. But it annoys me, so I'd like to get it straightened out.

needs to be >= (read: greater or equal to) you used a minus instead of an equal sign

Thanks a lot! It works now, and the game seems to recognize the dependencies and that they're fulfilled (i.e. they show up white, not as red text).

I feel a bit stupid for not having caught the >- instead of >= thing myself, but I'm glad that the mod is kosher now. I might share it later, but keep in mind that it does very, very little, so I don't consider public sharing to be urgent.

A linting tool will pick up errors like that and warn you about them: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=29919
