Urgent help with updating my custom mods!!

[Vonnnie]

Hello! I'm a bit desperate. I have two mods I'm working on, and since they are in a fully customized status I thought of sharing them and update them later on when I make any more progress. Yesterday when I posted it, I detected an issue in one so I corrected it and posted an update, but someone that already had downloaded it told me that "The mod constantly asks to get updated and doesn't work". 

I uploaded and updated them with the DST Modtool Moduploader, and changed the version on the modinfo.lua file from [1.2.6] to [1.2.7], checking the tabs below as shown in this picture. In fact, when I was playing with my friend previously with an earlier version of the mod, the same problem happened to us but from what we found we thought it was a problem from our computers. 

I just made another try with this file (Florian trial) with the same steps of updating, and saw that it does download and change the name of the file to the updated one but still marks it as "Outdated and needs to download". I don't understand. To note it, I'm not duplicating files nor folders, I'm using the same main folder name with some code lines edited inside, like a line of the character.lua, etc. Is this the problem, shoul i rename the folder before updating?

I want to ask if I'm doing something wrong? Since it's a Work in Progress mod, it's really frustrating to think of uploading each update separately instead of just updating the current link. Thank you very much for reading!

I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I'll still try - I had a similar issue with a mod I had installed a few weeks ago and while I'm not 100% sure what fixed it, I wanna say it was either unsubscribing and resubscribing to the mod, re-downloading DST or restarting Steam that might've fixed it.

If none of those work, maybe delete the mods you uploaded and then re-add them. If that still doesn't work and you're okay with it, I could try to take a look at it if you send the files and see if I have the same issue.

also idv mention ‼‼🗣️🗣️

Yes IDV mention,  I'm very happy to find someone else that recognized it here!!

It was a silly error, but i managed to solve the issue and post them successfully making multiple tries to see if it worked or not. Apparently, the issue is that you just need to mark the first box, and the second one (Update preview image) if you want to update the preview picture as well. Besides that, making a copy of the folder and updating from there just to make sure it works, also is an extra measure for updating haha. Now it works perfectly and it's availible for download on the workshop!
