Itms Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 If you want your mod to be available in the 0 A.D. mod downloader, you need to follow these steps. 1) Prepare your mod as explained in the Modding Guide. You should end up with a .zip file. If you created a .pyromod file, copy it and rename the copy to modname.zip so it can be uploaded on mod.io. 2) Sign up or login on mod.io. Go to Mods > Add Mod, and specify 0 A.D. in the field Game. Add all the information you want to make available for visitors. Complete the submission steps until your mod is shown as waiting for moderator approval. 3) When you are ready, send me a PM here on the forums, or an email. I will get the mod from mod.io, test it and take a look at its code. When I have checked the mod is not dangerous, I will sign the file. I will answer the PM/email with the signature. I can also report bugs in the mod, and mistakes you may have made when uploading the file on mod.io. I try to consistently dedicate Wednesday afternoons to mod signing. Important Notice: Wildfire Games signs mods in order to mitigate the attacks that can be conducted against file repositories and the clients that download from them. Signing a file does not imply that the mod is official, nor that Wildfire Games participated in its creation in any way. It does not mean that it is exempt of bugs or oversights either. The only guarantee signing brings is that the file you are downloading is exactly the one that the signatory tested. 4) I will put the signature in the metadata of the file on mod.io, then make the mod live. Right after this is done, your mod will appear in the mod downloader! Happy modding 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Common Mistakes: name/label confusion in mod.json - for instance https://0ad.mod.io/ja-lang "name" should be a lowercase identifier, it usually matches the URL of your mod on mod.io: for instance "ja-lang" "label" is a human-readable name, it usually matches the title of the mod on mod.io: for instance "Japanese Language Pack" top-level extra directory. Your zip should contain directly mod.json and the rest of the files, it should not contain a sub-directory with the files. The best way to avoid the issue is to use the archive builder. In order to test whether you made the mistake, try opening the mod with 0 A.D. If you land on the mod selection page and your mod was added to the list (appearing in green), things are good.

Lion.Kanzen Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 People are forgetting or making it difficult to upload their mods. I have seen proposals for A24 and they are not uploading them when its done. Don't forget to upload them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Do mod updates need to be re-verified before setting them as 'Primary Release'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do. Previously it would break the mod selection page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this once, you can still download them directly from 0ad.mod.io, but the mod is not displayed at all in the in-game mod downloader.

andy5995 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Since your mod is on GitHub, it might be easier to use this GitHub action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy5995 Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 On 03/08/2023 at 3:33 AM, seeh said: it should be a zip inside this zip for the modIo upload. No, if you have a .pyromod file with the correct directory structure, just rename the file so it has a .zip extension (and remove the .pyromod extension). See Distributing Your Mods If you think something is missing from the docs, you might want to consider adding it. Your script looks overly-complicated imo. This is the script used by the GitHub action: entrypoint.sh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
