Help me figure out why my personal mod isn't working?

[Penta2]

OK, so. I have a personal mod I use for Stellaris. It's a rather cheaty edict, but it helps me get used to the game.

It worked fine in 1.4.1, but now? It doesn't work for 1.5.1. Doesn't even appear when I go past the launcher, though I edited the mod file to say it supports 1.5.1. How do I need to fix it so it works? I checked the wiki, but the relevant sections are only updated for 1.4.

....I was going to upload the file, but of course the forums won't seem to let me, so I'll paste it in directly.

### Penta's cheaty edict below, comments preceeded by # ###

name = "blessing_of_Penta" # How do I add localization so it shows up without the underscores in the edict menu?

Well, in the vanilla game files, I can't find a single occurrence for "is_ai", so might aswell drop that one.
Second, are you playing on PC or something else? Because having a capital letter "P" in your path might be a problem for some reason.
Third, change the capital "P" in your edict's name and put in a lower-case "p". The correct orthography will be established in the language file (see below).

Hope any one of these hits the spot.
If not, I couldn't make out the error.

As for the language file, you'll have to recreate the path / folder structure for the localizations you want to support in you mod folder structure, just like you did with the folder in which you placed the edict file itself. Then copy the vanilla localization (probably l_english.yml) into this folder, open the file, search for "edict_" (or better "Empire Edicts") and then add the following lines:

edict_blessing_of_penta:0 "Blessing Of Penta"
edict_blessing_of_penta_desc:0 "whatever your description is supposed to say."

That should work, afaik. Mind though, that you'll have to do this for every language that is supposed to work. Or show correct syntax, that is.
