My mod freezes my game after enabled

When i try to activate a small mod i made and enable it it freezes sose:Diplomacy at the screen where you activate mods. is there something im supposed to do? i have all the gameinfo files in "C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011" but it still freezes after enabling the mod.

Use the Diplomacy Dev Exe to locate errors in your install root dir e.g.

C:\Program Files\Stardock\Sins of a Solar Empire\Sins of a Solar Empire Diplomacy Dev.exe

GameInfo files are in Mods GameInfo folder e.g.

C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Diplomacy v1.011\My mod\GameInfo\BlaBlaBla.entity

If you have any other mods you can check them for directory structure. If you are new to modding, the SoaSE Weebly has lots of good info.

Its hard to tell without knowing what values you changed but the Dev did point to where your error is.

what did you change the expiryTime s to?

Edit: compare the modded file with an original and make sure everything matchcase, spelling and placement

Notepad++ has an excellent compare feature

It means that on line number five the game expects to find a parameter "numSquads" to tell the game what to do, but instead finds "expiryTime". In other words the format for the ability is incorrect, where did you get the entity files that you edited?

Well the game files have changed quite a bit since then, so you'll need to obtain the reference files for the most recent version of diplomacy.

You will need diplomacy reference files.
