RTCED BUG: Memory allocation failure on startup

VER: Alpha 0.1 rev 0.5

BUG: On starting up, I received an error stating "Memory access violation". I determined that it's caused if you miss off the trainling backslash (\) in the INI file for the EDITORPATH setting.

SUGGESTION: Check for a backslash and append one if necessary during program startup. Better still, remove this setting completely and allow the program to determine it's own location.

Yep, this is why. THe EDITORPATH setting is used to load EVERYTHING other than the shield graphic, party graphic. And although it will ignore certain files not being available, the minute it cannot find a graphic (like an icon or tile object) you will get either a Memory Access Violation or an Illegal Memory Address Error.

The next release will have this fixed so that there will be no need for a setting in the INI file. It was me being lazy so I could get the first release out.
