_______________________________________________________
Details:
as of 1.9, deleting e.g. hardwired/tips.cfg or images/misc/logo.png causes a
MSVCRT crash that's NOT reported to stderr(wasn't the case in earlier
versions, as there was no crash at all, the files just weren't loaded); for
PNGs, suppling 0-byte file with PNG extension works correctly (no crashes,
replaced graphic is not displayed), for tips.cfg, using "[tip][/tip]" as the
content works, too. still, the MSVCRT error doesn't inform that the file is
missing in a straightforward manner nor does report anything to stderr; the
messages displayed hardly point to the file missing as a source of the
trouble. moreover, some files (e.g. OGG music) can be safely deleted,
producing stderr errors WITHOUT any noticeable (MessageBox or other) error
message.
proposed solution:
* clarify the error messages, pointing straightly to the file(s) missing,
* treat missing files and 0-byte placeholder files equally,
* (possibly) produce stderr output for MSVCRT crashes.
