My mod isn't uploading... | Teardown | Page 1

I wanted to upload a mod a while ago and failed and recently tried again. Now I want to finaly upload it. The problem is that everytime I try to upload it it says "Permission denied. Change id in id.txt or remove file to publish as new item". I do not have a file called id.txt in this mod. What can I do now?

does your account own the game or was it a gift
did your account ever buy any game on steam
does your windows username have non latin characters
do you use onedrive
are you using a virus scanner thing thats blocks the game from creating the file
..and some other things i dont remember now

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

i own the game; yes i have 18 games or so; Nope it's "Vincent"; no i dont use ondrive; that could be it how do i disable the windows firewall form blocking stuff in Teardown though?

#

bruh

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:41 PM

#

also .. which version are you using?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:41 PM

#

didnt know that existed xD

#

nah i just signed let me try

#

the newest though

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:42 PM

#

main menu .. bottom right is a number

#

as experimental might give an error on update (different though) .. still being investigated

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

true i forgot that... actually sad becuase i played Tearown for well over 400hours😂

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

publish should work though.. in experimental..

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

I'm on 1.5.3

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:45 PM

#

thats normal stable so should work

#

1.5.4 is experimental (with the update failure)

#

well.. "should work" as in .. if it's not something else making issues

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

i doesnt work I'm goign to just send you a video real quik maybe that helps?

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

same error?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

yep

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

did you run steam as admin at some point?

#

is your account in good standing.. as in level 1+ .. no bans or whatever

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

no I didn't run it as admin an my acounts is over level 1 and no bans

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

usually this error pops up if the game cannot write the file (id.txt) into the mods folder

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

running it as admin didnt help

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

well.. you shouldn't :P

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

oh okay

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

is the mod folder name something weird maybe?

#

or is it just normal latin characters

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

it has a space in it is that bad?

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:53 PM

#

na thats allright

#

is windows defender saying something? ..

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:54 PM

#

no

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:54 PM

#

or do you have other virus apps installed that might block teardown from writing?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

no

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

hm.. then i don't know really..

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

Do you by chance know where obs saves video files?

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

it was usually a username or onedrive issue

#

you can see it in settings

#

obs

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 1:56 PM

#

thank you

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 1:56 PM

#

output -> recording

#

global mod .. right?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

yes

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

can you zip it and DM it to me .. i can try to publish and see if it's the files

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

yes totaly fine

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:00 PM

#

i doubt thats the issue though

#

or just drop it in here

#

those germans and their rars ;D

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:02 PM

#

xD

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

i was able to publish it.. but i used 1.5.4 as i didn't want to downgrade :P

#

don't upgrade..

#

lets try something else

#

close teardown

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

done

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

then go to your documents folder and rename the Teardown folder to TeardownOLD or something

#

the game will then create a new folder on next start

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:09 PM

#

im gessing droping the stuff in teardownold into teardown?

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

not yet.. lets see if a clean folder works first..

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

okay

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

with the clean folder .. just create local global mod.. and publish it right away as private

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

okay

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:10 PM

#

lets see if that works

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

no same error message

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:11 PM

#

ok.. then it's something else

#

you can quit the game again and reverse what you did..

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:12 PM

#

done

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

i'm out of ideas.. you could try the normal cleaning stuff like ..

clear steam download cache (steam -> settings -> download -> clear cache)
verify game files (steam -> game properties -> local files -> verify)

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

nothing worked

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

lunar quest i was able to publish it.. but i used 1.5.4 as i didn't want to downgrade :P

i got another idea... you said you could publish it. What if you send me the id.txt that was created when you published it and I'll put that in my folder and try to upload it... Do you think that would work?

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

i would have to add you as contributor.. and i would be the owner

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

oh

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

and you can't transfer ownership

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

ah okay

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

sadly

#

but technically that should work.. i guess.. if there is not something else preventing you

#

but as said.. it's usually the game not being able to write the file into the folder

#

maybe you have another pc where you can install the game and publish something?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

no sadly i don't

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

or login at a friends place?

earnest condor Apr 8, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

that could work... I'll see what i can do

lunar quest Apr 8, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

let us know how it goes..

#

this is always a tricky error

#

the id.txt is literally just a text file with the workshop item id

#

#

@earnest condor Do you have any VAC bans on your account or other limits?

earnest condor Apr 9, 2024, 1:06 PM

#

don't know what VAC ban means but I never got banned on steam in any kind of way

cerulean bison Aug 15, 2024, 12:10 PM

lunar quest - does your account own the game or was it a gift - did your account ever buy an...

I use OneDrive.

The problem is solved.
