UNABLE TO COMPILE THE GAME!

[help] i was willing to accept this was a local issue until i installed windows on a new vm and faced the same error. despite saying vgstation13.dmb was generated with 0 errors or warnings i was not able to find a .dmb file in my repository

loading vgstation13.dme
loading interface/web/info.dms
C:\Users\vboxuser\vgstation13\interface\web\info.dms:42:error: near td: unexpected character '['
loading interface/web/interface.dms
C:\Users\vboxuser\vgstation13\interface\web\interface.dms:7:error: near }0pt: unexpected character '*'
loading interface/skin.dmf
vgstation13.dmb - 0 errors, 0 warnings

for the record ive never touched either of these files, i literally just cloned the repo and got this after compiling pls help
