Empty mod breaks game?

[djs4000]

So I started trying to play with mods and doing some simple edits, but the game seems to break no matter what I do. Just having an empty mpk (with the header file of course) breaks the game even if I don't have it loaded in the ModsConfig.xml... Im sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I cant wrap my head around it...

Here's what I get instead of the main menu: http://i.imgur.com/ljSZAx7.jpg (an asteroid occasionally flies by, but thats it)
Here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/WKQ77626
Here's the mod: http://expirebox.com/download/95bc9c8765d4c45101d681a2884a9ab9.html

this happened on the steam version 0.15 and .016. The modfile is just a zip containg a modified header.xml i got from core.cpk that was renamed to mod.mpk and placed in the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\AtomicTorchStudio\VoidExpanse\Mods\

Hello!
The header.xml must be placed in the root of the mod zip file. So, the correct structure of the mod zip file :

Code Select Expand


root
-->  header.xml
-->  content/
-->  data/

We will improve our wiki in this aspect.
Regards!

I could've sworn that was already on the wiki. I'm just a big dummy and didnt realize when I tell windows to zip a folder, it puts the folder in the zip rather than make the folder the root of the zip. It was late last night and despite triple checking i still must have missed it lol
