When using PBO Tools for packing and obfuscating mods, it's important to provide the correct type of input to ensure the tool functions properly. If you encounter the error message:

"Invalid input. Please drag and drop a mod folder onto PBO Tools to begin, not a PBO."

This indicates that a PBO file was supplied to PBO Tools instead of a mod folder, which is the required input format.

How to Correct the Error

To fix this error and properly use PBO Tools, follow these steps to ensure you're providing the correct input:

  1. Verify Your Input:

    • Double-check the content you are attempting to drag into PBO Tools. Confirm that it is a mod folder containing the raw files and not a PBO file.

  2. Drag and Drop the Mod Folder:

    • Once you have verified that you have the correct mod folder, drag it from its location and drop it onto the PBO Tools application icon. This will initiate the packing process.
