tl;dr: Mod name is case sensitive everywhere, including __modname__.

I'm making a new mod that adds a few additional signals. I keep getting this error on startup:

My mod folder is `radio_0.0.1`, and my info.json is:

Code: Select all

{
	"name": "radio",
	"version": "0.0.1",
	"title": "Radio Signals",
	"author": "aubergine18",
	"description": "...",
	"homepage": "...",
	"factorio_version": "0.13",
	"dependencies": ["base >= 0.13.0"]
}

the script adding my signals is:

Code: Select all

  data:extend {{
    type = "item-group",
    name = "signals",
    icon = '__RADIO__/graphics/grp-signal.png',
    order = "y",
  }}

  data:extend {{
    type = "item-subgroup",
    name = "vs-radio",
    group = "signals",
    order = "a[vs-radio]"
  }}

  data:extend {{
    type = "item-subgroup",
    name = "vs-snoop",
    group = "signals",
    order = "b[vs-snoop]"
  }}

  ... then a bunch of signals

in `/radio/graphics/' folder there is a 64x64px 'grp-signal.png' file.

Anyone know why I'm getting that error about __RADIO__/graphics/grp-signal.png ?

have you tried __radio__ ? I think it's case sensitive.

yup, that fixed it! thank you - I'd been starting at it for ages and was going crazy!
