Autocompiler fails to create new Whip "The system cannot find the file specified: '.\\..\\..\\temp\\swap_whip\\animation.xml"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\compiler_scripts\zipanim.py", line 13, in <module>
    zip.write(anim_path, "animation.xml")

WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: '.\\..\\..\\temp\\swap_whip\\animation.xml'
ERROR: Command failed!

Running the autocompiler results in this error. This error occurs even if I'm using the original unedited swap_whip files, and I only modified the image files not scml.

Unlike other hand-held objects, swap_whip contains both a swap_whip folder and a whipline folder. If this affects how I'm meant to use the autocompiler, I don't know how.
