Got a really BIG problem with a few mods

from Stardock Forums
I've installed all the mods I found on www.galciv.com site.
Sofar, so good. I've seen some new things in the game, but a few minutes after that. BANG! I was back to Windows. The game was new, so there wasn't the problem of the game trying to adjust to the mods. I'm trying now to understand whats wrong with mods. Does somebody know what these codes mean (I got them from the game's error log):

**** Script Error **** : Data\Supernova.Event (L:2 C:6) - parse error
**** Script Error **** : Data\UP_Issues\StarTax01.UPISSUE (L:3 C:8) - parse error
**** Script Error **** : Data\GCResource.RESOURCE (L:2 C:9) - parse error
**** Script Error **** : Data\InvasionTactics\CoreTactics.InvTac (L:4 C:10) - parse error
**** Script Error **** : Data\InvasionTactics\JediForcePersuasio (L:2 C:10) - parse error
**** Script Error **** : Data\CoreModules.SBMODULE (L:3 C:6) - parse error

I've almost forgot: I installed update pack 1.10a. And PLEASE don't tell me to install the 1.11 pack, because these problems are pretty old and if this update didn't solve them then it means there's something wrong with the mods.
Thanks in advance

Allt hose things listed are the main game itself and as far as I see nothing to do with the mods.It really looks like you have a bad core file that needs to be replaced.
For these errors you probably should reload the base game and then the updates.
But first I would send these to [email protected]
and have her take a quick peek at them.She is the main person working on all the bugs.

At least the error messages are very specific as to where the problem lies, giving you not only the file name but the line and column where the parser cacked. I would say you should check out those files in a text editor and see if they have anything in common, especially compared to a file that doesn't have a problem.

I'm pretty sure that's not part of the core game ;)

Everything else is though, so this is most likely not a problem caused by bad mods...

The first script/parser error in reading the files screws up the rest of the files.  Supernova is not a core event.

**** Script Error **** : Data\Supernova.Event (L:2 C:6) - parse error

It gives the line number and character where the error occurs: Line 2, Character 6.

Probably it's a space in a header name or something like that.  Once you fix that error, you can see if any of the others have errors.

Sorry about the super nova event.I haven't seen all the new events in the update and didn't know if it was apart of the new update.that is why I gave you the email to Cari who knows all and sees all.

Cari is, of course, correct. Line 2, character 6 would be the space (or lack thereof) following the keyword 'EVENT' in the Event header. If there isn't a space between the keyword and the Event name, the whole Event is parsed out of order, as does everything following it (explaining your subsequent parse errors). Add a space at the appropriate spot, save the file, and restart the game.

End transmission.

Thank you, Cari. You really know ALL. ;) I deleted the first 2 or 3 add-ons and solved the problem. NOTE: I posted only a portion of the error log on the forum so don't consider the first 2/3 add-ons faulty.
