Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding Troubleshooting Sudden "Failed To Copy" file error?

Hihi. I'm unsure of what happened, but I've been working on fiddling around with the mod tools and they were suitable for what I had in mind outside the minor errors.

I had recently uploaded it to the workshop, the mod is fairly simple, only adding in three new arena characters. Although suddenly me and my friends have been getting an error that states.

"Failed to copy file from (Usually the Steam Divinity Original Sin 2 Data Directory of the mod) to Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin 2/Mods/The Mod File name in question.

This is the specific error. Another thing I did notice is that it also only started appearing after the recent hotfix. I'm unsure of if it's either the hotfix, Steam and the Workshop or something I've done on my end. But assistance would be much appreciated as for it is draining my motivation to delve deeper due to fear of invalidation.

Thanks!~

As a bumping update here.

I've discovered that I am now getting an error within the Divinity Engine after I've deleted the mod on the Steam Workshop and tried reuploading it. [img]https://i.imgur.com/et34VSr.png[/img]

This may provide more insight as to the issue.

Try changing the name of the mod to remove the "/" which is an invalid character for file names in Windows.

I am also currently having this issue on my Mod.

I realized that the steam workshop renames the file when it moves it to whatever the name of the mod is on the workshop. So I removed the "/" I had in my mods name, but that still has not fixed it yet.

My mods name is Paladin Class. Originally named Holy Hydrosophist, it works fine if you manually copy it over to the mods folder, but doesn't work if just subscribed.

Okay, I may have figured out the issue. My issue has been fixed as for I discovered that I had missing/invalidated metadata when publishing/updating my mod.



Based off of what I can tell, both the Project Name AND Project description can't have any characters that wouldn't be usable when renaming a folder on your desktop. Apostrophes thus invalidate your mod when trying to publish it.

I removed all of them from my description and fixed my issue. Perhaps the same will happen for you?

Yes thank you, I ended up just uploading the mod with no description, then changing it on the Steam Workshop [i](as there is no way to format the description in the Editor)[/i], and made sure there were no "/" at all in anything, and as far as I have tested with myself and some friends it is working now.

Thanks for the help!
