    Was trying to put together a mod for an animated object and this error popped up. Would appreciate any advice/help I can get.

    Here's the info from the log file:

    remove/replace that character in the player.config and you're good.

    the file already tells you what the frick is going on, you just have to look for the right thing, you can't really miss it though.
