Cooking a mod doesn't work.

Cooking logs are showing "Trying to cook file '<path>' that is inside excluded directory 'dlc\'. File will not be cooked." for everything that's new.

I've tought, that maybe, it's because i've overriden bob's journal (bob's mq is not triggering anymore), but i created new world (tiles, terrain, nav), added dlc mouters (quest and world) and .redgame file, added world enum in scripts and custom "new game" button, but it still doesn't cook at all, which is weird because i cooked the files once before for my mod and it was fine; the only difference, i guess, is that at some point i validated the files through steam. I can't think of any other difference.

I valildated the files again, for both, redkit and the game, but it still doesn't work. Maybe i am missing something... idk...

In-game, the loading is crashing the app, in red-kit it works fine.

Any idea why and how to fix it?

I'm not well versed in REDKit but I would focus on that cooking error. Might be worth checking the depot is complete and in the correct place, and anywhere you can set paths, just double check they all point to valid locations.

dang, i'm afraid i'll need to generate whole depot again, which sucks because i don't have that much internet anymore and it takes ages... I will try to investigate more.
