No that works well by it's own. Leave the standard files in peace. The game worked right?
The "format" is not the error, but in this format there might be errors if a name is too long. I got that too. Just push them evenly with tab back, so that all are behind the longest race name and it will be fine... don't forget the number column above though.

Fixed it.. there is an format error in my original bias file that has the first two and the last two columns out of whack..I was keeping to that format but when I got rid of it in my custom bias everything worked. Should I correct it in the bias that came with the game? 

If you have excel you can open the text files in excel and it will line stuff up for you. When you go to save it will give you a warning about comma delineated files, but if you go ahead and save it, it works fine.

What does "Index is out of the bounds of the array" error mean. I got this when changing the picture of the slandor to a custom one that doesnt look so goofy.

It means you changed your theme with a start file already done. I can't remember exactly where to find it, but in the same area with the save games is a file you will need to delete to fix it. Might want to bug report it and go to tech support forum, some one there might be able to help you fix it.
