you have to decide for yourself if the creatureTools fit your style of rigging a character. I personally like to set up my skeleton a bit differently from that. e.g do I need more than one single neckjoint. also you have a heck lot of CTRL objects. if you take a look at the hand setup you will notice that there is a single curve for each finger, handTranslation and handRotation. I personally would have subsumed them under one/two CTRL object(s). in addition I prefere a reverse foot setup - but that´s just a matter of taste I guess.
nontheless this is a mighty tool for sure. just try and play for some time. you will see if it is a enhencement for your workflow or not.
kind regards!

Basically I've got my model, (on its own, no joints etc) Click on the creature tools, auto rig> selected the game etc setup, then next then the error. If that makes it any clearer

you might try to echo all commands and read those lines befor the error occured. this might show what has gone wrong.. other than that I have no idea what it could be.
