I created a new extension (a translation) but when I download it, it shows me as not approved

[Deleted62489226User]

I created a large and complete translation, because the existing one was bad and incomplete. Downloading it and extracting the files to the folder manually works perfectly, but when I try to download it through Vortex, I get the message that it hasn't been approved yet. What do I have to do to be approved?

 

It's been several days since I posted it, and so far the situation is the same

I can't address approval - but I can thank you for doing a translation.

The only way most games will get supported by Vortex is if users such as yourself pitch in. So Thanks!

Hi Rikintosh2! Thank you for your contribution!

 

Extensions have to follow slightly stricter rules when packaging and uploading than regular mods for them to be listed, you can find those rules here: https://nexus-mods.github.io/vortex-api/2020/09/01/Packaging-extensions.html

 

Specifically in your case, the mod and file version are incorrect, Vortex will only accept semantic version numbers for extensions so it'd have to be "1.0.0" instead of "1.0".
