More descriptive screenshots would be nice. And if you use forum attachment instead of mediafire for download, download would actually be possible :-)

I saw that one, where you can literally eat anything. I wanted to aim to something different mate. :)

What do you mean download would actually be possible? Isn't the download link not working? And what descriptive screenshots should I add? I'm all ears with suggestions. :D

Not really a fan of github (don't ask why please :P).

I don't allow sites to use JavaScript. It's definitely not necessary for a mere download. Please just attach your mod to your first posting as an attachment. That's very easy with the forum and works well.

As for pictures: It's far easier to understand what the mod does if there are some pictures. Why not show the bugs and a player fishing? Mods with pictures attract far more players.

Do I REALLY have to do a forum attachment? And I'll add pictures when I have time.

You can also upload to a site that allows direct linking (e.g. Dropbox).

This mod keeps failing to load and run for me....any idea why?

Look for a file called debug.txt , copy and paste the lines with ERROR in it in your post. That way Rhys or someone else gets an idea where to start looking.

The mods structure is wrong. You have to move the textures folder and "depends.txt" into the same folder as the "init.lua" file.

Thank You. That worked.

Great...the mod loads but its still as if it isn't there.
