I retried and read the steps and your right i did miss a step but i fixed it, now i dont get the error but when i load the map, and start the game (on single player) it is blank, and does not allow me to add computers or anything, i keep hitting start and it just takes me back to the map selection screen.
what did i do wrong?

Comments are like
//This is a comment, bla bla bla, xantan smells rawr!
So anything with the double forwardslash is a comment

Delete all the comments or just the ones where i need to put the triggers and such. cause this map has a lot of comments

forget the comments in this case.

do a syntax check and see what you messed up...

I recommend starting over after you see the errors...
