I am trying to add a profession and I keep getting errors but I can’t figure out why:  
Win 7, 0.c1 zip, and it was working fine untill I added my profession…

Error:  
DEBUG: Error loading data from json: data/json//professions.json: line 55:5: expecting string but got ‘{’  
]  
},  
{  
^  
10 10 “type” : “Profession”, 10

Then pressing spacebar says it can’t find… Basically any/everything in the game.

Below I selected the profession and pasted it here with a official profession:

I can’t seem to find the problem, everything looks to be in order but it keeps giving me the error and then saying it can’t find everything. (I held the spacebar for like 2 minutes)

I seem to have fixed it, but I don’t know how I did.

What you pasted looked clean in Notepad++, so I’m guessing a misplaced brace/bracket/comma which you fixed.

And that is _not_ going into mainline. 😉
