[RESOLVED] HOORAY! My plug-in got approved to the store! (Well, kind of?)

[ThaineXylon]

Today's quite a day for me... Because my original plug-in, "Coffee Galore" just got approved!

Thank you, humorous moderator!

After quite a while, I checked it and saw the moderator's comment, and sure enough, the plug-in is now part of the store!

Well, at least that's what I thought. Because I couldn't seem to find it in the store when I checked my TheoTown on my phone. Doesn't even show up next to the other plug-ins that were beside it when I saw it here on my laptop.

Note: I couldn't even find it, even when I searched "Coffee Galore" on the search box too. Doesn't show up.

So my question is... Is it a bug? An error? Do I have to wait? Or is it simply for the fact that I already locally have it on my phone? To anyone who might know something about this, please let me know...

But hey, at least it's finally made it to the plug-in store! And to the moderator that approved it, thank you very VERY much.

More plug-ins to come! Have a great day ahead, fellow citizens and mayors!

Congratulations for approval, mate. Maybe you need to wait for a while until that mod shows up in plugin store.

I can't see it in plugin store too, but if it's on the official list, sooner or later we see it, maybe we need some time.

Thanks buddy. Can't wait to finally see a plug-in of mine to be available in the plug-in store... And also, thanks for your continued support too.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Cob Cannon to drop off at the plug-in showcase forum.

So, after some talk with @PBbynnypower (shout out to them btw) It turns out that I may have set the minimum version it a bit too high for everyone to get.

If your current version doesn't match with the minimum version, then you won't be able to see the plug-in in the store... Unless if you have a version greater than that.

So, I might need to re-update the plug-in again to a lower and a possibly more broader version.

My friend, it's great that your plugin was accepted! If you'd like to collaborate, you can reach me via Theotown messages.

I'm (somewhat) open to that, so... What kinds of plug-ins do you usually work on? Buildings? Sculptures?

...Hold on, I'll take a look at your showcase... Oh, just checked... You do a lot of tall buildings.

Hey buddy, you've probably seen this before. Those who are struggling with extensions or whose download numbers aren't increasing enough get help from those who are better at this.I'm also generally interested in buildings.

WHOO!!! My plug-in is now showing on my phone, in the query searches! IT IS NOW AVAILABLE!

Fig 1. The subject that caused me joy.

So, what happened exactly?
- Basically, I set the min version to 1.12.66, which is what I thought to be the version that's on my phone at first... Turns out, that would just cause your plug-in to only show up to other people with that version or higher than that. As for the rest (including me), they wouldn't see it for they're still in the stable version. So, I basically killed my own momentum for this plug-in. My bad, for it's my first time posting plug-ins to the store. I changed it to 1.12.27 now (which is when the non-square buildings were supported.)

What? I don't seem to understand...
In simple terms: I accidentally set the minimum version WAYY TOO EARLY than the actual stable version, (which is 1.12.51 that, according to the plug-in moderator, is the version that all or most TheoTown players have,) which is the reason why it didn't show up on my phone when I first searched for it.

Now, I'd like to give my thanks...
... to @PBbunnypower for helping me out on this dilemma! You can check out my thread here about my problems with my plug-in not appearing on my store... But other people seem to see it, and it has an official listing? (Note to future plug-in creators who are planning to post their plug-ins to the store: Check your minimum version, or set it to 0 instead!)

And also, to the dev (and apparently the one running the plug-in moderation operation,) @Lobby on providing the latest stable that every player's using: 1.12.51!

Well, it's been a ride... And I'm happy that my plug-in is now in the store... AND I CAN FINALLY SEE IT!

If you like weird, and internet references as plug-ins, check out my showcase here, my spot in the plug-in store here, and the plug-in in particular, "Coffee Galore", here!



Until next time, have a good day ahead, fellow users!
