Have you updated to the latest version? (r4)

What changes did you make to the game's files?

Yep, r4, and I changed the laser on the Kestrel from "LASER_BURST_3" to "LASER_BURST_5" and changed the damage of that laser to 4.

What program did you use to change the game files? Maybe you could upload the changed files somewhere so we can take a look?

Halp please. I have reinstalled it twice and it still won't launch.

Notepad, and I'm afraid I can't do that since I reinstall the game after every error and wipe my data folder. Although...

Bingo. That's my blueprints file. Modded the Basic Laser, Burst Laser III and the starting Kestrel.

Are you entering the directory with the .xml files or the directory above that to pack the .dat file? You need to enter the directory with the /data/ directory in order to preserve the correct .dat file structure.
E.g. when you use "Extract all..." the directory you choose must be the same as the directory you choose when you use "Pack folder..."

So, should the directory I choose be the one with every .xml file in it, or the directory with the "data unpacked" folder in it?

The one with the data unpacked.

So it'd work if I put it in a folder called "data" that had a folder called "data.dat-unpacked" in it?
