When I load lua files from https://github.com/FizzerWL/ExampleMods/tree/master/RandomizedWastelandsMod

I get this error:

Lua code failed verification check. Please fix the issues below and try again by pressing Reload Code

Server_StartDistribution.lua:(7,0-1): unexpected symbol near '<'

Same thing happens when I load from https://github.com/FizzerWL/ExampleMods/tree/master/SafeStartMod

I have 3.18.3.8

I recommend that you send this error to someone with the capability of finding a solution to annihilate the error, like completely.

@ViralGoat, that is odd. I have the same version and no problem with either of the mods.

The way you phrased things, are you downloading the source code? Like, to later modify them?
(What do you mean by "when I load from")

Can you be more specific about exactly what you're doing? Are you downloading those files onto your PC and giving that folder name when creating a new mod? Or are you pasting the Github url into the Unity app?

I don't see the character '<' anywhere in the file Server_StartDistribution.lua, so it's not clear where the error is coming from. If you're pointing at a directory on your hard drive, can you zip up that directory and email it to me so I can reproduce the issue?

I am following step 2 from https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Mod_Developers_Guide

I was right-clicking on each individual .lua file from github and selecting save target as...

But I see this creates an html file completely different. Never mind, noob mistake.

^Yeah. Go to https://github.com/FizzerWL/ExampleMods and then you have a Clone or download Zip. Gives you all mods too :D

GitHub has a UI that is confusing until you get used to it.

yeah, if you want to copy paste directly from github you have to click the raw button on the file to see the raw code. cloning or downloading the project zip might be easier.
