You have problems where your file extensions are being changed, which ruins stuff. You need to be able to see the full file name, rather than the version with no extensions that for some reason windows thinks is better:

It also sounds like for some reason your various files are regularly getting corrupted (missing ", etc). What programs are you using to edit them? Notepad++ is my preferred editor for .ship files and things like that.

Hmmm... I've never used Ron's Editor but I've heard good things, and Notepad++ is the go to around here. I really do recommend turning file extensions on though, as the game does care what they are.

Taking the very first steps in modding is quite difficult because there are about 7 different things that all need to be perfect, and small errors in configuration can really screw things up. If you want help in real time, check out the discord; there is a channel devoted to modding and the people there are very helpful (and the author of the tutorial Vayra is usually online).
