Could you give us a little more information? Did this mod ever build successfully? If so, what did you change since then?
New to the modding forums? Have a look at our Rules, Tools and Tutorials.
And if you want to get your hands dirty, check the Modders' Job Board.

Yes, I've published the mod multiple times to the Workshop in the past. This is only happening recently.
Things I've changed since - Just revising all the content like units/abilities/buildings/commanders, etc. Just light changes like weapon_damage, squad_size, etc
EDIT: If all comes to worst, do you think it would be better if I try publishing to workshop a duplicated version? But how do I safely duplicate my mod, if it comes down to that?

I think it might be because you have some locked content in there. Some of it you can clone and build, but not publish. Have you tried modifying the store attribs at all? Maybe the racebps?
A tip for the future, BACKUP OFTEN, 1 time a week at least. I cant stress it enough, I know its annoying to do, but it will save your posterior in many cases.

I did some checking and can confirm that I did not modify anything too sensitive like you stated. I'm still checking around my mod currently, but I was hoping if you could provide me a list of things I should check?
Edit: I'm at a loss. I've checked round and round again, nothing in the Attrib tool seems out of place or unusual. I'm not sure what's happening. Please help, I'm desperate.

Well, all I can say is to try to copy all your files to a new mod, and try to post that. If you get the same error its definitely something in your mod.

Thanks for the help anyway.
EDIT: I've managed to salvage the situation! Look at my last reply for the update

So you are not releasing the mod but you are updating it, right?

Yea it is safe, just go to your steam workshop files and delete it. And then again open COH2 and publish it again.

Good new everyone -
I've decided to get a grip and try to salvage most of the mod. So I followed the advices here and started copying all the files of my mod into a new mod folder. I found some really EMPTY folders while doing that and got rid of those. I also took the additional effort of fixing some filepath naming issues with Notepad++ (that could've been done in the Attrib editor but it's a pain to do all that right-click).
Then I tried building to the workshop and -
IT WORKED!
Thank you guys so much for helping! @Planet Smasher @Lugie @RagnarTheGamer
