Frequently asked questions
Help library · Getting started · Contact WreckD
How do I publish a mod?
Sign in, complete the required account setup and verify your email, then choose Publish. Select an available game and category, add the release name and description, and complete the compatibility and installation details. Add appropriate screenshots and the release package, then review the publishing options before submitting. Game permissions, submission availability and account restrictions can affect which choices are offered.
What am I allowed to upload?
Upload your own work or content you have permission or a license to redistribute. Credit alone, a public download link or a matching creator username does not establish permission or ownership. Keep required attribution and license information, describe included dependencies accurately and label adult content where appropriate. Do not upload malware, stolen content, online multiplayer cheats, private information or misleading paid listings. Use the ownership-claim process for an existing imported release instead of creating a duplicate claim.
Which package and screenshot formats can I upload?
Release packages accept ZIP, RAR, 7Z or OIV files, up to 400 MB per package. Screenshot uploads accept JPG, PNG or WebP images, up to 2 MB each, with a maximum of 18 screenshots. Check the publishing form for the current limits and requirements. Packages are queued for VirusTotal analysis, so keep passwords, API keys, private correspondence and other confidential files out of the archive.
Why is my release or update waiting for approval?
Publishing review depends on your account’s permissions and publishing status. A pending release is not a public approval, and a newly uploaded version may need review and package checks before it becomes the current download. Your existing approved download can remain available while an update is reviewed. Follow any review notes and provide the requested information; do not submit duplicate releases to bypass the queue.
How do I publish an update and write its changelog?
Open your release’s version manager and choose Add new version. Enter the version and relevant compatibility details, upload the new package and describe the changes. The changelog editor offers Added, Updated, Improved, Fixed, Removed and New tags. Choose a tag for the current line and write one change per line; Preview shows the published formatting. Upload a new version rather than replacing an existing published version record.
Why can’t I select a game or category for publishing?
Game and category choices depend on submission availability, catalog permissions and your account. A game may appear on the site before it accepts uploads. Categories classify the release within its game; they are not a way to bypass a game’s restrictions. Choose the correct available game and category. If you believe a choice is missing in error, contact WreckD with the release details instead of uploading it under an unrelated game.
