two styles
c++ two forward slashes "//" from here to end of line is comment

c style  /* everything inside "/* ....... */" is a
comment, and it does multiple lines as
well
*/

i have a feeling that the error is usually not the line it last prints 
but is something to do with the next one
in this case the first comment parsed
but the next comment, trying to comment out the rusty texture was
not terminated.
