Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Trying to upload mod for friends

As the title suggests, I am trying to publish a mod for my friends on steam, but for some reason every time I try this line shows up in code.

"Missed or invalid metadata for mod. Mod must be reuploaded using new publishing tool"

I don't understand how to solve this issue, it maybe something relatively simple but I just don't get why I'm having this error.

Hi Zaxtaj,

The most common causes for this issue are using illegal characters in your project name and/or using a project thumbnail that is over 1MB in size. The latter should only happen if you manually changed the thumbnail outside the editor.

If this does not solve your problem I could have a look at your issue if you send me a zip archive of the following folders:
- Data/Public/YourProject
- Data/Mods/YourProject
- Data/Projects/YourProject
- Data/Editor/Mods/YourProject

Unless using the [space] character is not acceptable then I shouldn't have a problem with the name, and the thumbnail image I want to use is only 37kb so I don't think that is the issue. I have sent the files you requested in a private message.

I hate leaving my own forum posts open ended, so I'm going to summarize.

Nothing within my mod files could be identified as the issue. The support gave to me the information that they had no issue with being able to publish my works. That means the problem exists between my computer and steam. I have not identified the problem exactly but it's getting to the point that the easiest way to solve it would be to reset my entire computer by wiping it.

It was suggested to me that I attempt manually uploading to steam, but no suggestion was given on how I may do such a thing. I attempted to find that information on my own to no avail.

If anyone else has this issue, sorry but that is all the information I possess.

Can you send me your files? Thanks.
