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.

Well good on the game for finally reporting all these errors! <annoyed to the max>


The Toron have a fault in their boarding ships design file it is called the wrong thing.
Well at least it looks like all the MM designs are working OK.
Hope that the designers of these other great races fix them up soon....

Incorrect or misspelled words in the AI design creation files.

I cannot reporduce any error with the toron designs. Can you please be specific about the error? What is the exact error message? What exact error is in the boarding ship design?
