Help mod/developer not working!

I thought that ships could absobe too much damage fefore they died so I went into the Gameinfo folder and copied alll ships and "planetmodual" files, opened, halved the health on all of them, Then i stuk them in a folder in the mods directory. Whenever it loads it causes a minidump. what did I forget to do?

and my developer doesnt work, its in the games directory, It starts gives me alll these errors, then "stoppes working" here are some of the errors:

Failed to find file 'GS_Asteroid.fx' in either primary path or secondary path. subDir(PipelineEffect)

Failed to find file 'GS_AsteroidBloom.fx' in either primary path or secondary path. subDir(PipelineEffect)

Text FileArchive missing Label.

File: .\Window\colors.color
Label: chatTextContext:IgnoreNameAdded
Line Number:44
Line Contents:minAllianceActivePlayer ff568211

tell me if you want more.

I also tried using another mod to get my files into the game. I stuck everything into "bailknight_graphicmod_v1.3" then the mod loads, but every time a vassarie builder ship dies, it causes a minidump.

I am a vista user.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
