Can't upload mod to workshop

SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Sorry, I overlooked that.

Have you tried to simplify your mod to only the '.latest' package and then upload it.

By trowing away the half of the code you can determine which part is wrong. If it uploads the part with only . latest, you know ther error is in the compatibility packages code. If it fails, you know the error is in that part

Uploader errors have to be taken litterally. If it says it cant read something, it litterally means that and that the error lies within that file.

ETA: SCS suggest this in their modding wiki -> Unable to deserialize units from sii file. All the parsing errors are printed out to the tool.log.txt file. Check it for more info.
