Defect Name: PD crashes program in custom BS

Build: 2008.044

Repeatable: Yes

Operating System: All

DB used: Any with platform images

Scenario used: Any

Battleset: EC2003+

Long Description:

The most recent battleset builders use a battleset.rsr file (i.e. hdsu.rsr) that is non-zero in size in hopes of future expansion where the Staff Assistant, sunk ship, victory, etc. images are embedded in the battleset. This conflicts with some code that chooses whether to read platform images out of the hdsu.rsr file or the commondb.rsr file (if size of hdsu.rsr > 0 the GE/SE look in hdsu.rsr for the photo even when it is really in commondb.rsr).

 

Discovered by noxious

 

Workaround: replace any non-zero sized hdsu.rsr file with a zero sized hdsu.rsr file for custom battlesets that don't have an embedded DB.

You can make it a more permanent change by going into BSBuilder\BattleSet\BSDBBlank, rename battleset.rsr to battleset.rsr.bak and create a new empty battleset.rsr file. Then when you create a new BS with the BSB it will use the zero sized .rsr file.

Do we need to test this workaraound, or will there be an actual fix to test in the future?

Addressed in 2008.045, forgot to post that yesterday. Since it isn't all that serious I'm not putting up the 2008.045 build yet.
