Opening file __name-of-the-mod__/control.lua failed -- error code -102

This is related to my attempts to modify control.lua during mod development without having to restart the game over and over.

Hi, thanks for the report.
Mod zip files should be locked by Factorio and you shouldn't be able to delete/overwrite them while Factorio is running. At least that used to be the case before 0.14.
If you want to modify control.lua, just don't zip the mod (put it as folder to mods directory).

What should the folder in the mods directory be named? I'm trying to make this work and it won't load my folder mods at all.
