Mod issue

I'm working on a mod, primarily to add /edit units.
I have modeled this on the official Battle of Britain mod. This mod used to work last year...
But after adding a number of units to the standard units.cvs and the Language/english_mod files I get nothing in the editor.
No units, terrain etc. Screenshot displays the Decorations.
Anyone?
Edit: Noticed that the Finland mod returnd just a black screen.

Please post an output_log.txt or else all I can give you are very wild guesses!

What files does your mod have in the data folder? Does deleting (renaming) the units.csv allow you to get into the editor?
I just download the Finland mod but that loaded fine in the editor.

The Data folder only contains the units.csv, I have added my modded units to the latest official one.
(I have my mod backup files in the folder too, but temporarily moving them makes no difference).
I have sent you a PM with a link to the mod folder.
Question: Do the units.csv in the data folder need to be a complete list (including all official units) or can it include just the added/modded units? That would make life as an amateur modder easier.

BTW, Finland mod works on my personal PC, but fails on the office PC.
I can live with that...and my employer probably too

Your units.csv uses tabs, not semicolons

That's strange since I copied it from the official data folder. This worked before using the Open office spread-sheet.
Maybe something is happening when it is saved during duplication.
I'll try it again and check the saving options.

Here's why I got fooled.
Note that when I select Tab, the preview is displaying correctly.
When I check Semicolon, the preview entries are jumbled.
This means the file is hopeless to work with when the Semicolon is selected.
Any way to fix this?

Tried again with a fresh units file, and this time Open Office displayed and saved correctly.
Thanks for the help.
