I kind of doubt this is the issue.  Surely the game uses other text files,
and as far as we know the game is not having any other issues.

Do you have the 'dos2unix' command on your computer?  If so, it's easy:

    cd <your addons directory>
    find . -type f | xargs dos2unix

If not, it's a little more complicated.  This sh script will do the job:

    find <your addons directory> -type f | while read filename
    do
        mv "$filename" "$filename".old
        tr -d "\15\32" < "$filename".old > "$filename"
    done
