The first log showed this
[9/28/2020 7:45:01 AM] [<color="red">ERROR</color>] icon: Could not find image file (graphics/radial/icon_texttable.png) for icon (AFAL_modestandard). [FFAL_v0.3.3] [AFAL/graphics/AFAL_graphics_radial.xml]
Any error can cause other errors downstream.
Your second log seems to show it by itself - but given the error
[9/28/2020 8:09:34 AM] [<color="red">ERROR</color>] Module Info Load (DeathIndicatorEx): An XML comment cannot contain '--', and '-' cannot be the last character. Line 1, position 5.
has nothing in it related to the .mod file that I unzipped that is on Page 1 - I'm not sure what to tell you. Except that it appears only your machine has this going on. Something is different. Are you absolutely sure you have DeathIndicatorEx.mod in your modules directory that is the one from page 1 of this thread? Because it seems like its not that one. If you take the .mod - rename it to .zip and unzip the files there you should see one .xml file and a bunch of tokens. None of which have '--' by itself or with '-' at end of a line.
I suppose the other possibility is you have a different parser for xml out there that has somehow choked on the <-- --> comments in the .xml file that the old .mod file had in it. But really - no idea on this one.
