[Tool] Trait Description Validator

Sometimes, if you happen to add dozens of new traits, you accidentally mistype a description reference. Result? Errorless CTD and following that, a few hours of pulling out your hair. If you happen to be in need of something like this, worry no more:

Just put this little program to your modfolder. It will search for >\data\export_descr_character_traits.txt and >\data\text\export_VnVs.txt

Hope some of you find this program at least a little bit useful.

It's nice that you put together a program that does this, but the ATVTW Program already includes this functionality in addition to checking for various other errors in traits, trait triggers, ancillaries and ancillary triggers.

*cough*insert a joke about Squid's far-reaching tentacales here*cough* :)

Yeah, but this doesn't crash if your export_descr_character_traits.txt is 100,000 lines long and it does the task without much hassle very fast. ;)

Neither does ATVTW, it works perfectly fine on EB's EDCT which is over 200,000 lines, so whatever problem you have is not related to the length of the file.

If you would have reported the error, and told me (or sent me) the set of files which caused the crash I could and would fix it.

If I recall correctly, it froze and crashed while it was going through the ridiculous amount of triggers. If you want to test them, you can take a look at XGM's XC submod which features the same set of traits.
