I know the error but what is wrong with these names?


creator.name_asset.1.1.var is not named with convention <creator>.<name>.<version>

c_creator.name_A.1.1.var is not named with convention <creator>.<name>.<version>

If it's a package you're creating :
  • Avoid special chars at all costs for the package name, only use : lower or uppercase letters, eventually separator - or _
  • Numbers are ok if its the title, don't add the version number
  • I know I said non special chars, but out of safety : No accents ( àéè... ), no / \, no [ | ] and all that stuff.
  • If you're a cyrillic / asian person, avoid using your character set and stick to standard letters ( as these language encoding is not that stable )

thx, the errors are gone! No, It's not a package from me.
I hope the files still working now. 😅

Ok, one left error:

creator.name77_name.var

should I rename it to creator.name_name.var

or creator.name77name.var

because numbers are ok in the title?

Always : creator . packagename . version .var
... dots being mandatory.

So, these below are all valid examples :
  • hazmhox.mypackage.1.var
  • hazmhox.mypackage101.1.var
  • 666hazmhox.101mypackage.1.var
  • HazMhox.MyPackage.1.var
  • hazmhox.My_Package_101.1.var

These below are invalid:
  • hazmhoxbeds1.var
  • hazmhox.beds1.var
  • hazmhox.beds.test.var
  • [hazmhox].[beds].1.var
  • etc...

Also, remember : if package is not named as expected, it will fail if it's used as a dependency.

Ah this one had no version number, true.

But if I renamed the files, it's counting again? Or do I have to redirect the files?

If the dep list looks "hazmhox.package.1.var" and you rename it "okachu.pack.2.var" it's gonna fail, no matter what.

You're not responsible here ;)

If people rename files out of nowhere without knowing what it does and sharing that... you're definitely not the one to blame.
