[Resolved]Is my line 41 broken?

[Grafikal]

 

I'm going through a list of seemingly EASY scripts to install, and all of them stop at the same place. Line 41. I get a syntax error message before the game even starts. Every script I've tried to install, I have started with a fresh game with no other scripts [besides the stock scripts]. I've followed all the creators' instructions of where to place the script, and most of them all just say above Main. I put them above Main and below Materials.

So far I've gone through:

For the glowing effects, there is a .png file that I needed to import which I did without a problem, so that couldn't be the issue.

It's a line 18 error. Which is:

Some of these probably have the easiest fixes, but considering I'm literally an R-tard with scripts, the fix's difficulty is much higher...for me. 
I'll laugh if they're easy to fix. [*crosses fingers*]

[ahref]

are you sure the line 41 points to the script your trying to insert?

it sounds like theres a problem with your default scripts. what error message appears

[Grafikal]

The 2 41 liners are both the same error:

Script 'KGC_Translated_ForceStopVictoryME' line 41: SyntaxError occurred.

The names of the scripts are different though.

for the 18 liner, its the same error, but on line 18 and different script name.

Script 'ShopOnScreen' line 18: SyntaxError occurred.

[modern algebra]

Well, you have the dubious honour of having the weirdest error I've ever seen. I still don't know what went wrong. But try replacing it with this:
