Uploading Addon Issues

[VirtualTim]

So I've created a new addon, and I can load it from the addons menu, and it appears to work fine.
However when I create a new game in developer mode with the addon enabled, I don't see anything under the "Register New Addon" menu. It appears under "Generate addons MD5" though.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Anyway, the whole reason I'm trying to upload it is because the MD5 check stops me playing online. Is there any way to disable that too?

Edit: I attached the file. Just remove the ".txt" from the end of it.

Most likely there's an error with the authorname or some required field in the base init.lua

Post the contents of that file please?

Cheers for the reply Crim, here's my init.lua

Author field looks different to mine: author = { "HousePet", "" }

[Zizzo]

Author field looks different to mine: author = { "HousePet", "" }

[sound F/X: source diving] Judging from the official addons, that second field is apparently intended for an e-mail address. At least, that's what I've put in all of mine. If you don't want to include an e-mail address, apparently you can also do it the way HousePet is doing it.

Author field looks different to mine: author = { "HousePet", "" }

I gave that a shot, changing the line to

Code: Select all

author = {"VirtualTim", ""}

, but that didn't change anything.

Okay next:
Is the folder name "tome-ClassBuffs" ?
Could be a caps issue.

[VirtualTim]

I edit the original post of include the actual addon.
I think this like should work: http://forums.te4.org/download/file.php?id=3120

The file is called "tome-ClassBuffs-.teaa". It's got an extra dash on the end, but that's how other addons seem to do it.

Are you packing the addon yourself?
You need to leave it as a folder and the game will pack and label it.

[VirtualTim]

I was. I unzipped it and put it in the folder addons/tome-ClassBuffs, it looks like everything works!
It's a little counter-intuitive that it can load compressed addons, but they have to be uncompressed to upload, but I'm glad it's working now.
Thanks for the help.
