as a simple work around.. (This is from ME only and not endorsed by anyone, use at your own risk!)
Reinstall aslain's modpack 4.1.38.1_95 (or close)
start game.. you may get an error saying ./res_mods/0.9.6 does not exist! If you do go to your res_mods folder and copy your 0.9.5 folder, then paste it into res_mods, it shoudl say 0.9.5(Copy). rename this to 0.9.6
when you try to start game, you will get errors about 3 or 4 .pkg files missing from ./res/packages. to fix these errors (This is a workaround, not a fix!) Select hangar_premium_v2.pkg and copy it.. then paste it into the same folder and it will be called hagar_premium_v2(Copy 1).pkg.. simply rename it to the name of the missing file.
restart game.. see next missing file.. repeat above. I believe I was missing 2 of the .pkg files.
game then loads and works.
this should at least work until the mod team can correct the pack.
