Game Crash

my game crashes when I click on the galciv shortcut icon. I tried lunching it from the direct folder with no success.

the only thing I was experiencing was the Star Wars mod beta. which in this case, only have race configs, customplanets, ability points, and new textures for all planets.

this is what I got:

Does it run without the mod? If so, you probably have a parse error in one of your mod files.

yes... but I can't find any problems with my mod.. I want to send it to friends so they could test it but I can't send over 10 mb. and it's 55 mb.

I remember when you linked a zip file in here, and I download it.. it was the title anim new screen? remember? so how do you upload stuff like zip files in here?

I had FTP'ed it to my own personal website and linked it like anything else, so that's not exactly an option for anyone else unless they have their own sites as well to upload it to.

If you can still FTP files and access them then you can problably do that.
