ignoreInCompatibilityChecks , dependencies ... problem in mod.json

[seeh]

i try to switch

"ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": false,

"ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": false,

to

"ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": true,
  "dependencies": ["autocivp>=1.0.18", ....]

but a user have reported me now following :

user: failed to connect to the server

me: autocivp>=1.0.18

user: i have to connect again then..

user: still the same

"The property "dependencies" is an array of strings. Each string is either a modname or a mod version comparison." https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide

any idea?

but mostly they don't say what error message it is, but something like:

seeh, i cant't join

It's probably the case that the user can't join due to not having autocivp installed. The setting "ignoreIncompatibilityChecks" set to false combined with dependencies of autocivP >= 1.0.18 causes autocivP to be REQUIRED in order for anyone to join your game. Unfortunately, there is no option with mod.json to enforce a minimum version of autocivP but also make autocivP optional.

probably.

i was inspired by some (working) mod.json that uses:

  "dependencies": ["0ad>=0.0.26","0ad<=0.0.27"],

i will try now without the ignoreInCompatibilityChecks inside but with the <= also.

some want me to have  ignoreInCompatibilityChecks false, but then i never could play because i usually set the version +1 ( public version + 1 ). means version number cant match never then (i guess version number will be checked).
thats easier for spontaneous jump in development when have some ideas.
