A name for your mod is one of the most important things that a good modder must be able to do.


A name for your mod:
* Should tell a person downloading the file something about it;
* Should be catchy/memorable;
* Must be unique, there is nothing worse than copying someone else's name.


Your name:
Another thing you should do before publishing your mod is change the author name from DEFAULT so that everyone knows who created it.
If a modder releases a mod that the community really enjoys then future mods will already have an audience. However if they do not know who created the mods, it is impossible to know.
This is done by going to File -> Data... -> In the middle upper region of the Data box you will see Created by. Type the author name here.

Note:
Adding an author name frequently causes the G.E.C.K. to crash.
