Default Re: 3rd party software request

OK I finally worked out a way to find the offending races. I used the file search to look for "Number of Anti-Ship Drones Per Target" in all of the files in all of the race directorys. Then I sorted it alphabetically, and used explorer to give me an alphabetical view of the races directories. I lined them up side-by-side and looked for gaps (meaning directorys where the settings file did not have that line)

Sure would have been easier on linux where I could have grepped */*settings*.txt for NOT having the line. That took care of most of the problems although there are some small errors in some that pop up once in awhile.

It is beginning to look like a checker would be pretty easy to do.
