Once again I bring another obvious, yet important bug. 
The Lua error handler itself has a critical error!
The path name gets truncated for non-standard lua files, so it's impossible to know for sure which file contains an error. Especially with vague errors like this one! We've got to guess what files the problem might be in, and check the line number for each in the hopes of tracking down the issue. It's truly baffling because what could possibly be a reason to restrict information given in error reports?
In addition to this, there's another problem: this path to the /MODS folder does not appear to be set in Civ 5's config file or the windows registry. This means we can't move the /MODS folder to somewhere with a shorter path name.
In other words, the bug is hardcoded with no way to work around it (that I've found). It's the worst possible kind of bug, one in the error reporting for all other bugs!
