Since the mod is apparently no longer supported, I moved on to another mod from an alternate mod site.

You are using an older version.

I must've grabbed an older error msg from console, 0.5.8 was giving me the same error, i updated when I saw there was an update a month prior.

Could you provide the full log please?
