anyone knows Where to adjust the parameter to get it running?

Thanks for your help!

you should have a mod_info.lua file with the mod's informations, the error message tells you there is no "version" attribute.

check this post for the correct way to make the info file https://forum.faforever.com/topic/739/guide-creating-a-basic-balance-mod-with-a-merge-blueprint

you could also upload your mod as zip and we can take a look/fix it.
