My friend can't play my celeste mod, even though everyone else can.

[normal shoal]

So basically I made a simple mod pack for my friend to play, I got a friend to playtest it and it worked completely fine. However I don't know how to make Celeste Mods compatible with the 1-click installer thing that gamebanana has. So I just sent my friend the bare Zip file. So the installation process goes like this:

Download, zip file
Unzip file
Drag the mod pack into the Celeste mods folder
Open Everest and install missing dependencies
That restarts Everest
Mod is playable have fun.

It works for my friend and for me, but for some reason whenever my friend tries to install the missing dependencies, he gets error messages and it cancels the download, making the mod unplayable.

Does anyone know the reason behind this or how to fix it? I'll answer any questions as I can.

Or at least how to make a mod compatible with the Olympus 1-click installer on gamebanana.

what does the error say?

also for the compatibility, i assume that is because the mod isn't compiled correctly...
so here's an example of one of my mods
basicly you just select everything that isn't the zip (witch you shouldn't have) and compress it to a zip, than use that zip instad of the base file

It was like an error for installing Max Helper and a few other dependencies.

[clever bloom]

have you tried manual installs of the dependencies off ether Olympias or game banana?

[clever bloom]

one other thing..........

this very well may just be the entire issue......

[normal shoal]

We also tried it last night, so idk

[clever bloom]

well, kinda hard to test manual installs atm, so i guess we're stuck 🙁

i'm guessing its ether something in your file formatting, or game banana being down... and it could maybe be something in your everest.yaml

like, if stuff is somehow spelled incorrectly it would for sure fail to install

[normal shoal]

It's formatted like this so yeah it's probably this lol

[clever bloom]

that formatting doesn't look terrable, just like, drop all that into a zip with your map name

the only difference i see to my mod (witch is working fine) is the graphics witch i dont have yet, and the zip witch you dont have yet

i'd say check spellings in your everest.yaml... but if you did it thru loenn it shouldn't be that

[normal shoal]

So it should be a zip file that only has what I screenshotted? What I did before what a zip folder with the folder that has what I screenshotted

[clever bloom]

yes

[normal shoal]

Okay I'm taking the folder with all the stuff and compressing it into a zip

Wait that's what I did before

[clever bloom]

than it should be compiled correctly..?

ya, give your everest.yaml some through investigation

[normal shoal]

The weird thing is that is works perfectly fine for my other friend, it's just my other friend who's having issues. (Also btw yes I used Lonn)

[clever bloom]

did the person it worked fine for need to install any dependencies?

[normal shoal]

They did yes

[clever bloom]

huh

than i dont think its on the side of the mod

its ither gamebanana or your friends celeste

i'm like, 80% sure its gona be fixed with manual installs

@normal shoal btw game banana just came back up

[normal shoal]

Okay I'll try to get it compatible

[normal shoal]

We'll try that probably tomorrow since my friend is asleep!

[clever bloom]

that makes sense

[clever bloom]

ya, i realy dont know the compatibility thing...

[normal shoal]

It's okay! Thanks for the help regardless, I'll update here after we try manual installation.

@clever bloom **UPDATE: **Manually installing all the dependencies worked! Thanks so much for the help! 🙏 🥹
