Why does adding a new fighter make the program Minidump?

April 29, 2012 2:49:43 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

So I'm attempting to add another fighter. Scrapping all previous attempts I have done only this; I extracted the Bomber Squad Entities for each race, and Fighter-Bomber Entities for each race. I renamed them "Gunship" instead of "bomber" because that's what I intend my new craft to be. I used Harpo's tool to make the manifest, because I decided I could screw with stats later.

So currently, to recap. All they are is an -exact- copy of the bomber. There are no added textures, meshes, or any other files. I have changed NO stats.

Why does it give me a 

Assert @ C:\Projects\P4\SinsDiplomacy\Release\CodeSource\Engine/DataStructures/DynamicVector.h(172)

i >= 0

error? Can -anyone- help me figure out just what is misbehaving before I have to surrender and give up? x.x

That is a missing asset problem.  Either you screwed up the manifest, or you screwed up your entries.  Check for typo problems in the places you added the fighter.

But there are no typos! The entries

entityName "SquadPhaseGunship.entity"
entityName "SquadPsiGunship.entity"
entityName "SquadTechGunship.entity"

and

entityName "FighterPhaseGunship.entity"
entityName "FighterPsiGunship.entity"
entityName "FighterTechGunship.entity"

were added to the manifest and I copied the file names directly to make sure they matched!

I had this assert come up when I tried to turn the TEC corvette into a fighter object...basically, the problem was that the game could not handle a strikecraft with 8 exhaust trails (I think 5 or 6 was the highest I could get)...

This probably won't help you, but I'd figure I might as well share...
