Mod not working.

I'm very new with creating FTL mods so I wanted to just try to make a simple weapon. I've compared my files with other weapon mods and I can't seem to find the issue with mine.
This is my file saved as a .rar currently, It was saved as a .ftl when using it if anyone was wondering.

.ftl is a rename of the .zip extension, not .rar . You've likely used the wrong file format.

That was the issue with that, Thanks! I assumed .rar's would work just as well.
However, I used the weapon in the original post as a template to make another one, and stored them both within the same mod and now the game is just crashing after the original loading screen without an error message. The crash log is
Version = 1.5.4
Stack Trace:
1 - 0x00473d08

5 - 0x004010fd
6 - 0x77c1b54f RtlInitializeExceptionChain
7 - 0x77c1b51a RtlInitializeExceptionChain
This is the mod file now:

The issue is in your shipBlueprint. You are missing a / in your last weapon in the weaponList.
Other, non-crash related issues:
In your weaponBlueprints, you want to replace <image>laser_heavy1</image> with <image>laser_inferno</image>.
Your Kestrel isn't updated for AE systems.
You have an autoBlueprints.xml.append file which allows Rebel automated scouts to spawn with your new weapons when AE is disabled.

Yeah this fixed it, Thanks!

Do you know how I would go about updating it for AE systems? And is there a way to allow Rebel's to spawn with the weapons even when AE is enabled?

I was hoping someone else would've answered this, because I'm just going to put a copy of the Kestrel blueprint here. That doesn't exactly teach you how to find it yourself.
Then again, I don't know how you ended up with an old Kestrel in the first place. You'll have to re-add your Inferno Lasers to this blueprint since I didn't include them.

Yes. There is a file called dlcBlueprintsOverwrite.xml which contains the weapon lists for the enemies when AE is enabled.
