Zip fill fail on unpacking in this case

Oh well didnt work either, guess i am missing something like additional files to add. Otherwise something isnt right here.

Try this steps:
1)Remove any mods from game, restore game to original files via steam or whatever platform.
2)Launch game, start new custom empire game and check that there is no error with ship build window.
3)Install one of problematic mods, switch theme to mod, exit game. Start new custom empire game and check that there is no error with ship build window.
4)Switch back to original theme, exit game. Install EM mod. Start new custom empire game and check that there is no error with ship build window.
5)Switch to mod theme, exit game, check for errors.

This should narrow down where problem occurs. Also you can try newer alpha versions, they don't have any fixes for this bug, but will remove possibility of corrupted files.
