Error - Archive Process Failed : V

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:22 pm

Whenever I click on "Upload Plugin and Archive to Steam", i get the Add/remove files to archive window. All that's listed in "Add/Remove files to archive" screen is "BSShader_DefNormalMap". I click "Pack files" and TESArchive comes up, followed shortly by "Error - Archive Process Failed."

Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be appreciated!

i'm gonna post the reply i got that ended up working for me:

Open "Archive.exe" in your steamapps/common/skyrim folder. It was installed with your Creation Kit.
It's a more advanced .bsa packer. Make sure the .bsa file you make in Archive.exe is spelled EXACTLY the same as your .esp

Then when you go to upload your mod, it will find the already made .bsa file

next time i started up creation kit, it said "Mod.bsa already found, use it?", I assume that's why the name needs to be the same. Hope that helps.

ok I think I've figured it out... you go into archive.exe as above, in that program open your mods .esp and the program repacks it as a .bsa, then you go into the creation kit and then it will upload it like it's supposed to.. I think...
