Default A stern warning to those altering credits.ini

I made the classic WW modding mistake. I edited 17 things at the same time, and then tried to test them.

I was fine tuning a weapon on my test ship, and then I decided that I should put three weapons on it and thus I could tweak 3 simultaneously. That worked well, until I decided to simultaneously add a sound file, make the beginnings of a new weapon (and mod the test race file to put it on the ship) and then tweak another weapon. On top of all that I decided to add some silly mod credits to the front of the real credits.

Then I loaded the game back up, and it worked fine, but when I clicked the simulator button, crash! I reinstalled the game and started building up the mod folder one tiny bit at a time (after lots of other removing of the test race, the test ships, and all the weapons I had been messing with, and it all failed to correct the problem) 2 hours later, I discover it was the modified credits that did it.

BEWARE!
