Default Another race AI problem

The new error message I'm getting reads like this:

Unkown value "Combat Sensors" for Misc Ability 3 Name in record "Fighter".

I belive the race with the prob is the Tlaxcalan. Someone already said to replace combat sensors with combat to hit offense plus, but there is already an entry like that in the fighter abilities. I've even tried deleting the sensor's and adjusting the other ability's numbers, but then I get a message saying it can't find the Misc ability 3 entries. Someone help me please. What should the entry read to be correct?

See if there is a number of misc abilities specified. If it's 3 and you removed the third one, change that number to 2.

The "error" is due to a previous error (before 1.35) in vechicles_design_creation.txt for whicever race is causing the error (who's turn was it on). Open up the file, go to the entry for "fighter" and change "combat sensor" to "Combat to Hit Offense Plus". That will fix it. Note that this error always existed, it's just that now the game reports it... and it won't crash your system, it'll just give you the error message in the start of every game.

hmmmm, I changed "combat sensor" to "combat to hit offense plus" and still get an error message similar to the combat sensor one. checked my spelling too.... I am confused!

DOH! I didn't check spelling close enough! had a small case "t" in "to" instead of a capital "T"....off to bed...

ah ain't a quittin' mah day job! sheesh!
