Bug: Crash on load if comment in XML header (v0.97a)

[Karl]

If there is a comment between the XML tag and the doctype tag, or between the doctype and TranscendenceExtension tags, the game crashes on load with no error message.

Example:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<!-- This comment causes a crash. -->

<!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension
[
...
]>

<!-- This comment also causes a crash. -->

<TranscendenceExtension UNID="&unidExtension;" version="0.97">

Well...I don't know anyone who will put a comment there...

[Karl]

Well, it seems like a good place to put general comments about a mod.

I think this might be why I can't get my KensaiCorp mod to work, thanks!

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<!DOCTYPE TranscendenceExtension 
[ 
... 
]> 

<TranscendenceExtension UNID="&unidExtension;" version="0.97">

<!-- Placing comments here will not cause a crash. --> 

...and is easily seen by anyone viewing the XML.

Thanks for the report. I'll see if it is easy to fix in the next release. Thanks!

It doesn't even have to be fixed... I do want a comment above xmlversion= tag causing crash to be fixed...if possible...as that;'s the obvious place to place commetns
