Failed to compress game data issue

    Hi all,

    I literally just made an account to post this question after scouring this site (and the Essentials Wiki) to see if there were a similar thread for my issue, so if this thread is in the wrong place, I'm sorry.

    Essentially, every time I compress Game Data, it gets all the way to the PBS folder and fails. The exact file it's failing on is PBS\~$pokemon.txt which just straight out doesn't exist in the folder. I've tried Compressing to my desktop and separate folders, and I've even tried copying pokemon.txt and renaming it as ~$pokemon.txt yet it still fails..

    Anyone have this issue before or know how I can fix it?
     
    You're trying to also compress the graphics, and it's too big for that

    I tried removing the Graphics (and Audio) folders, intending to re-add them after creating the .exe ( as the wiki says ).

    Still failed to compress on the same file -- ~$pokemon.txt

    update -- redownloaded v16 and copied the files in there. In the v16 rar file, there's a ~$okemon.txt that seemed to be throwing it off, so I didn't copy it over. Issue still persists (even with Audio / gfx removed)
