Additional information

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling BEEmod.

You need to unzip the zip files, into their .pack forms. And drop them in the packages folder.

This line only gets triggered with well, a bad zip file.

If you are using any user created/ 3rd party packages, I would reccomend not unzipping those in most cases. As the .pack extension rarely gets used by 3rd party/user created content.

[TylerTheGuy298]

There’s no zip files to unzip, and I have the normal BEE2 packages already unzipped and in the packages folder, the only zip file I can find is a “base_library.zip” file I found but doesn’t have any connection to error.

[TylerTheGuy298]

I don’t want to close the issue

[Sirinchocolate]

It is giving multiple bad zip file errors. Did you copy the downloaded zip, into the packages folder. And unzip it from there, into there? In that case, please remove the still zipped downloaded packages folder. From said folder.

[TylerTheGuy298]

I unzipped the BEE2 packages folder and placed the contents into the packages folder of the application

[TylerTheGuy298]

I’ll try redownloading everything and redoing the steps.

[TylerTheGuy298]

It didn’t work.

[TeamSpen210]

Unfortunately it's kinda tricky to know which file is the issue here. Try removing all the packages, then adding them a few at a time until you hit the error (or see if it's just any of them).

[TylerTheGuy298]

Ok, I’ll try that when I wake up for school tomorrow

[TylerTheGuy298]

I tried it, I removed every package from the packages folder and still got the error

[TeamSpen210]

Can you post your full log file? It has to be finding a zip file somewhere.

[TylerTheGuy298]

Sure, give me a bit

[TylerTheGuy298]

Heres the log file:
bee2.5.log

That's a weird spot for Portal 2 to be installed. Where exactly is the packages folder you're sure is empty? Did you change the location in the config file (C:\Users\sigma\AppData\Roaming\BEEMOD2\config\config.cfg)?

[TylerTheGuy298]

I have not changed the location the .cfg location and the location of my packages folder is in the same folder as the .exe and other files, and the reason why portal 2 is in a weird location is because the Windows 11 computer isn’t mine, I borrowed it from my brother and just dragged my Portal 2 installation onto a external drive, if I need to I can download steam and download portal 2 that way.

Version 2.4.45.0 adds additional logging to indicate the specific zip causing the issue, can you try with this version?
