My previously WORKING mod seems to have been broken.

Found the problem....
Previous problem
Solution ^ Changed "kw" to just W

Current problem
Found that the main mod file was titled with _ instead of - causing the mod to freak out.

One of your problems might again come from naming and sign errors: Try to replace the underscores in your file names.

This was the issue, but saying file nameS is actually what threw me off :I

I think I may have fixed it, Thanks for the tips.
I am a mess when coding I have files all over the place (Many copies of the mod) and sometimes i accidently drag a part of one with a different file path and it completely screws everything up.

Admittedly it takes some getting used to, but I really couldn't get any work done without it anymore. If you're thinking "Hm, I should put a backup copy of this somewhere, just in case this doesn't work" you should be using something like Git. Or what is your usecase for having multiple copies of the mod around?
