Is the mod structure supposed to be like this:
modname.zip

--mod.json

--modname.zip

----mod.json

----modfiles

or:

--modname.zip

----mod.json

----modfiles

The game does copy the mod.json automatically next to the zip for faster access.

So, the game does it, I don't have to?

It needs to be in the zip but that's it.

Hi @Asher - I just submitted LocalRatings_Suggestions, after some players asked me about how they could get it.

Please have a look, and let me know if I need to change anything.  It's my first time submitting a mod.  Thanks.

I am actually not apart of the mod signing team, I think @Stan` and @Itms are handling that

Are the instructions in this thread about publishing mods still accurate?  @Stan`  @Itms  @Atrik

I have to check things manually which is slow, I'm currently writing tools to help me be more efficient. Really sorry.

Do you want help with making those tools?
