1. You guys know how when C&C Generals has a crash, it prints out a crash report which tells you exactly what caused it, such as an invalid line in an .ini?
You guys should make Renegade generate a crashdump.txt, like Generals, which tells you exactly what caused the error. Like, incorrect values etc. in the objects.ddb or .inis.

IFF files (ie ldd,lsd,ddb,tdb) don't have error checking or correction. They are basically loaded directly into memory and a few pointers fixed up. Simply put, there is no way in the "Release" builds of Renegade to provide checking for them.
4.0 does have a new crashdump interface that lets us locate the crash better, but the dmp files it generates (minidumps) aren't easily read by the average modder. Sorry.
