Decks not appearing after packing with gibbed's tools?

So, I've always played my mods from a folder for easy debug, and the header file was always titled "HEADER.XML". The thing is that gibbed's packer doesn't even read the folder unless if the header file is titled "@header.xml". But, when I change the name of the title and then pack it, the decks don't appear in game anymore!

I infer that the header file must be linked to some parts of my mod, but I don't know what? Can anyone offer assistance?

Of course, many thanks!

This is the usual structure:
Code: Select all
DATA_DLC_doesnt_really_matter (but using the same name as DATA_DLC_something is recommended)
  |
  |-- @header.xml --> content must refer to DATA_DLC_something/DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS/
  |
  |-- DATA_DLC_something (this name matters!)
        |
        |-- HEADER.XML --> content must be identical to @header.xml
        |
        |-- DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS
              |
              etc.
If you have doubts, start from a WAD file made by someone else, delete the DATA_ALL_PLATFORMS content, substitute it with your content, and finally if you want to rename that DATA_DLC_something, make sure you rename it inside both header XML files.

Hah! Figured out the issue! It appears the data inside @header.xml is case-sensative!

Thanks for everything, mate!
