Issues Summoning converted Shimeji in wl_shimeji: "Shimeji prototype not found" Error

[Tomedaro]

I'm having issues setting up and summoning a Shimeji character in wl_shimeji. Here's what I've done so far:

wl_shimeji compiled successfully.

Downloaded Shimeji Mascots
I downloaded a Shimeji pack called Shimeji - DDLC Pack [1.0.11] and multiple others, tried single characters, tried to accommodate the structure of these shemoji-ee according to the scripts functioning(as far as I understood it). After converting it with shimejictl, the files are located in:

~/.local/share/wl_shimeji/shimejis/Shimeji - DDLC Pack [1.0.11]/

The directory structure includes:

actions.json
assets/
behaviors.json
manifest.json
programs.json

manifest.json File
The manifest.json looks like this:

{
"name": "Shimeji.Shimeji - DDLC Pack [1.0.11]",
"version": "0.0.1",
"programs": "programs.json",
"actions": "actions.json",
"behaviors": "behaviors.json",
"assets": "assets",
}

Attempt to Fix the Prototype and void assets folder
Since the error mentions "Shimeji prototype not found," I created a prototype directory inside the Shimeji folder and copied actions.json and behaviors.json into it images to the assets folder. However, the error persists.

Here is output of ❯ shimeji-overlayd

Please, tell me what I'm doing wrong, where to search for mascots that can be converted or what libraries I'm lacking...

If I understand the issue correctly, the shimeji-ee configuration was converted incorrectly (I didn’t clarify exactly what “/path/to/original/mascot/directory” means in the README, my bad). Typically, each unique directory (except the one named 'unused') inside the 'img/' directory should be passed separately to the 'shimejictl convert' command.
I searched online for the DDLC Pack [1.0.11] and found that the current version of shimejictl doesn't handle cases where mascot configurations are missing the 'conf/' directory correctly anyways. I wasn't aware that shimeji-ee mascots would fall back to the 'conf/' directory located at the root of the shimeji-ee folder.
I will work on fixing this issue after the holidays.

Thank you for your answer. Will you be able to provide a link or an archive to a convertible shimeji-ee that works for you? I can do adjustments and customization myself, but I just need one working example, please.

P.S. Wish you good holidays:)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IyMWZUKge1FIBfHs46HbDE08Pg69YYPj works in my case.
I also pushed some changes yesterday. We now have the shimejictl import command, which should be more user-friendly, and from my tests, it seems to now handle the DDLC pack correctly
