Mod won't create anim .zip for character . . .

[Potatoboi]

Hello, i'm completely new to DS/DST modding, & don't know much . . . i have tried following tutorials & what not, but even after following every thing it doesn't work properly if at all, i managed to make it work once, but it was invisible, so i started over again . . .

Currently, my character mod fails to compile the .zip into an anim .zip & i'm not sure what to do, i tried to read the errors i got, but honestly i don't understand them haha . . . Here are some error logs . . . 

*From compiler*

i'm sure i am missing some thing easy or small . . . my apologies for that if i take up anyone's time with a simple problem, i'm just not sure what else to do . . .

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I use to have considerable trouble with character art, if your character art isn't compiling - that might be all that's wrong, but it's enough to cause the mod to fail entirely:   

Could not find an asset matching anim/potatoboi.zip in any of the search paths. 

I used the extended character template to keep things predictable - avoid moving pivot points, just adjust the visual image (you maybe able to get away with change the resolution of the image; if I recall correctly). Sadly I found that many default methods of Spriter tend not to translate well to DS/DST, try to keep it as simple as editing images for this character template; for assets, limit rotational looping(will reset the collision for hover interaction) and alpha tweening, which in my experience haven't worked so smoothly.
