Custom Characters not showing up in character select. Assistance greatly appreciated!

My apologies if this has been solved in another thread. I've been looking around for a couple days and haven't seen anything, so if I missed it, that's probably due to my own intelligence ;

 

As the title suggest, I'm having an issue playing custom characters in my game. (The characters in question, if this should help at all, are amziezelt's Wulfe and a custom character of mine I've been trying to make.) They're in the mods folder as any mod should be and enable fine in the game without any errors whatsoever. I also have other mods (such as the ????[maxwell fight] mod Klei made) working without a problem. The only problem I see is that they won't show up in the character selection screen, which makes it very hard to test a WIP ;. I checked their prefab files, and both have the instruction:

return MakePlayerCharacter("wulfe", prefabs, assets, fn)

At the bottom, which I'm assuming is what adds them into the game. I am a complete newbie when it comes to all the programming business and am still bopping around at tutorials and whatnot, so I could very well be looking at the wrong thing.

 

If you need me to post anymore information regarding the mods or what have you, please ask.

If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated! Again, apologies if this is addressed elsewhere.

I just tried the Wulfe mod and it seems to be working fine.  Have you enabled the mod from the mods menu?  Also if you have two mods with 'wulfe' prefabs that might be causing you issues.  Could you try enabling just  the 'wulfe' mod and see if that works?  And if not, could you post your log?  If it does work, could you post your new character mod?

I did enable them in the mods menu, I've the green checks and no error messages.

And my apologies, I should have clarified. The two characters are not sharing the same prefab file; I have them both on their own prefab files, each with everything renamed within the script where is needed. I just tried wulfe out without widow (mine) in the mods folder and enabled her in the mods menu along with a restart of the game, still no luck with the character select screen.

Forgive me, but what log are you referring to? I'm not the brightest bulb ;

So this line here:

scripts/mods.lua(173,1) Mod: wulfe 1-5   Mod had no modmain.lua. Skipping.

Says that you're missing some files.  Inside the 'wulfe 1-5' folder, there should be a folder called 'wulfe'  Move that folder to your mods folder and delete the 'wulfe 1-5' folder and you should be good to go.

 

I think what happened is when you extracted the mod you clicked 'extract to folder' instead of 'extract here'.

Oh! That makes a lot more sense. Wulfe is playable now, she just has black boxes where her character portrait and big portraits should be (meanwhile, Widow's crashing the game.)

Thanks a bunch for helping me with this silly problem!

Yes, I'm just nervous about it since she's still very much unfinished (I don't even have dialogue for her yet) ;. I managed to fix the crashing problem, I'm just trying to understand why she's invisible now. If you'd like to look at her, I've her attached to this message. Thank you for continuing to help me through this wild adventure ;
