Default Big Trouble in little mod

Well, I'm starting to tackle to data files for my mod, and am terribly frustrated. I used a copy of the Campaign 1 files, and changed some of the stuff in the Terran map. Now I get an error "Cannot Find Starting Point" and I think its because I changed the name of the Terran Starbase. So I changed it back. It wasn't the name. It could be the other files I changed. I don't know.

The data files are so interrelated, I may have screwed everything up. Going through several files to change "Terran" to my own race may have done me in. Or maybe it was some other design change.

Have any of you modders figured enough out from the data files to know exactly what you need for a proper Starting Point?

We really need a good tutorial for mod-makers like me who only know enough to get us into trouble. Grrr.
