Why won't my music mod upload? [MUSIC MOD HELP] [SOLVED]


Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm making another thread but this time it's something hopefully simple to fix; my mod works fine and I go to upload it using Mod Tools but it tells me either "Error uploading preview image" (I've since made it a proper 268 x 268 PNG image) or just simply "Error uploading mod". I've included a .ZIP with all my mod files. If that is not enough, PLEASE let me know. I've had to figure all this mod stuff out by myself pretty much and it's been quite frustrating to say the least. This is the image I tried to use.

Thank you!

My first thought is maybe the file size. You can check the uploader log via C:/ Users/ USERNAME/ AppData/ Local/ Don't Starve Mod Uploader / ModUploader.log

Thanks for your reply! My .FSB  included in the archive is actually only 54.9 MB (the limit's 100, right?).

I should've mentioned that the modmain.lua and other such things are in there too. Here's also my log.

ModUploader.log

By the way, I should have also mentioned that I used Cagealicous' new guide along with Cheerio's music mod tutorial files. Also used DST Mod Tools' built-in FMOD Designer.

EDIT: Adding another version of the uploader log after once again attempting to upload my Melee mod with a working preview image (it worked for my Deltarune mod I just uploaded so it's not the image):

Is the size limit actually 50 MB? Nothing I try to make the sound files smaller seems to work, and not all of them will loop properly so it's not a good idea to just cut them at the halfway point. I also uploaded my two most recent mod tools upload logs above.

Well, the preview image error is fixed, but now it's just saying "Error publishing mod!" all over again. I checked the uploader log but it seems to imply it was successfully uploaded when it wasn't. I included the mod files in the OP above if anybody wants to have a look to see if they can spot what might've went wrong? Thanks for the current replies though!

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot the project file. No wonder nobody knows what to do.

Added the project file like I should've done in the beginning.

I changed the version number as well as the full stop in the title of the mod in case that did anything as well as the preview image by a couple pixels. Still no dice. :[ Here's the modinfo.lua and the newest log. Sorry for the trouble, I really appreciate it.

modinfo.lua

ModUploader.log

icon_atlas = ""
icon = ""

These shouldn't be empty, it should be something like

icon_atlas = "modicon.xml"
icon = "modicon.tex"

(I think that's the error? Try fixing that and then uploading the mod)

Funny thing is they were empty when I uploaded my Kirby 64 and Deltarune mods.

Where do I get an XML for the atlas?

preview.xml

This one just says "Show the whole image". Make the image power-of-two (128x128, 256x256, 512x512, no larger) and convert it to tex-format. Then name the xml file the same as the tex-file, e.g. modicon.xml and place the tex and xml files next to your modinfo.lua file. Then put in the filenames in your modinfo.lua file.

You fixed it. You got a new error. This new error is EResult 9, which means your preview image cannot be identical to the last preview image you uploaded. Yes, failed publishes count, so your EResult 8 has probably landed you here. Try using the original image again.

I put the .XML and .TEX in the same folder as the modinfo.lua, and yet... "Error: Failed sharing mod data file". /:

ModUploader.log

I was supposed to leave the TEX conversion on default settings, right? DTX5 or something like that? I used Handsome Matt's TEX Creator.

I don't know that one. Probably. I use TEXTool, but I'm told it's old (but it works with standard settings).

Now it's saying "EResult 16". You're collecting the set :D This one means "Timeout" while uploading a file. You can look up the errors yourself in the list below. When looking for the error in your ModUploader.log, scroll to the bottom, and then keep scrolling upwards until you see the first EResult that isn't 1.

Maybe I'm dumb but I'm not finding anything on Google when looking for EResult 16. I can infer what "timeout" means, but not how to fix that or why I'm even getting so many errors on this one specific mod. Maybe I built it incorrectly? Maybe it's the sound files?

Sorry, I'm just a complete noob at these things and literally have no idea what I'm doing but I really appreciate someone actually replying. :?

No, m8. It's telling you exactly what's wrong. Now you've fixed 3 errors, and are left with either a network/server error, or the server is rejecting the file for some reason.

A "timeout" while uploading means that it took longer for your connection to upload the file than the server permitted, so the server cut you off when it timed out.

So, it finally uploaded. I'm beyond confused but I'll take it.

Only problem now is the image is broken LMFAO

That, and I have to redo the entire thing because the music sounds atrocious. But I know how to do that at least.

EDIT: All I had to do was edit the mod and upload the original .PNG file. I knew it wasn't the image... weird freaky mod tools and its weird freaky errors lol.

Thank you so much for your help!

It is finicky, but it's not actually the DS Mod Tools that's the problem. It's the Steam API. DS Mod Tools just relays the error it receives when trying to upload the files to the workshop. Could the DS Mod Tools perhaps do many of these checks for you? Sure, but that would also require more maintenance for the DS Mod Tools whenever Steam changes things in the API. Could they give better reports about what the EResult errors mean? Definitely, but again, if Steam changes something about when which EResult is returned, then DS Mod Tools would have to be changed, as well.

Does Steam change these things a lot? No, but it is an unnecessary complexity resulting in an unpredictable extra cost in maintenance.

Good thing we have had a bunch of these, so we can refer to old posts where someone dug up a solution :)

You are very welcome, m8 :) Glad it worked out.

Whoops, it's been a while and things have been going fine, but now I ran into a brand new problem: I needed to update ALL of my mods as none of the Woodie music was working because the filenames within the modmain.lua I was using didn't match the names in the actual project file. Example: the modmain.lua had "hoedown" when the project file had "music_hoedown".

Anyway, the problem is that when trying to upload the edited files, it gives me "Error: Failed sharing mod data file." What does this mean? Here it is and the log (because I can't find anything) if needed. Sorry to come back with more!
