Server Recourse Pack couldnt be applied

[long hornet]

I get this when i try to use my recourse pack

[frank turret]

did you unzip the file you downloaded or touched it in any way or did you upload straight away?

[long hornet]

i followed the recourse pack tutuorial so it had me get a hash and also a link to it

[frank turret]

ok my guess is that it could be that the version id/meta of the resource pack is incorrect, could you send me the file?

[long hornet]

i cant because the file is around 27mb and i cant send over 25

[frank turret]

oh...

then a link to where you downloaded it?

[long hornet]

hold on....it keeps deleting after i send the link

@frank turret i sent it in your dms

[frank turret]

wait a sec

I might know why

[long hornet]

what!?

[long hornet]

@frank turret ?

[frank turret]

that was before I sent dms

but did it work?

[long hornet]

did what work?

[frank turret]

changing the pack version

[long hornet]

oh i checked and its meant to be 9

10 is for data packs

[long hornet]

still wont work dang

[icy pulsar]

did you make the datapack?

*resource pack

[long hornet]

yes

[icy pulsar]

send it to me in dms

@long hornet The error is java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid CEN header (bad entry name)

what program did you useto zip up your files

[long hornet]

Uh, I wanna say file explorer?

I use the same one all the time and it always works tho

[icy pulsar]

well it's weirld that a source like file explorer will generate a invalid cen

i'll repack it for you, but i would check ur system

it could be a malicious program trying to change and inject things into zips

[long hornet]

Huh, what kind of program?

I rarely download anything other than datapacks, only other thing I've recently downloaded was fabric and forge but that cant be it,, oh and dropbox

[long hornet]

Thank you for this! I'll test it now soon

[icy pulsar]

it might be. I suggest hosting it on ur own server if possible, or use a non-cloud sharing website

[long hornet]

Sorry what exactly do you mean hosting it?

[icy pulsar]

like put it on your website

[long hornet]

Oh I don't have a website

As by host are you referencing Dropbox?

Alright I'm going to test it now

[fiery prairie]

@long hornet, you just advanced to level 6 !

[icy pulsar]

what i am saying is that services like dropbox and google drive might edit the zip file so that it may be smaller, easier to use, or stuff like that, which is fine for zips full of your files, but when it gets on a technical level like in minecraft it can break it

but that's just a guess ofc
