does anyone know what lines of code i can edit in a map to fix this problem? there is no loose files either as ive been searching for a solution all day and have yet to find anything that doesnt require me to download anything

the only map ive got downloaded rn is quadtowers by styledsnail

I don't think you can exclude fx after the mod is being builded.
Still there is a way to pass the error, download this file.
Instructions are in the topic:

I also checked: https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/map-releases/29/re-quad-towers-release-v1-0/14503/new#new
But couldn't find anything about T4M...
