Summary0002201: script.txt error
DescriptionSpring fails to start with an "Incorrect/missing content" error when the following settings are used:

Player Team=1 Ally=1
Bot1 Team=2 Ally=2 AI=NullAI
Bot2 Team=3 Ally=1 AI=NullAI

Removing a bot solves the problem.

I could reproduce it every time except one with Springlobby. In tasclient I could only reproduce it once. It happens every time in the mission editor.
Saktoth could reproduce it as well.

A screenshot of the error dialog is attached.

Here is a script that works: http://pastebin.com/rxcLBLXR
Note that there are only three lines changed: MapName, GameType and RGBColor.

i enhanced some error messages.
it should not be possible to get an empty error message with content_error anymore now, see:
https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/31010a51c049e564d805ce8317da962de46d805c

please retry with current spring master.
I personally now get an error message telling me that the start position was not found, but as i do not have the map nor the mod/mission, you might get an other error.

The dialog is gone and spring exists silently. In the infolog I see this:

[ 0] Incorrect/Missing content: Map-Parser: Failed to get start position for team 2, reason:
[ 0] Thread error: Incorrect/Missing content: Map-Parser: Failed to get start position for team 2, reason:

In both Apophis_v2 and 1 Pass Greenland Remake (two maps that have this issue) I can only see two starting points in the SpringLobby minimap. Changing the start positions from "fixed" to "choose before game" makes the game start normally.

This issue has been solved in #sy (map didn't have enough starting positions, hoijui made error messages contain more information), imo it can be closed.
