Car Causes Crash on load with factorio version 0.11.18

[Cheata]

latest version of factorio changes the crash damage multiplyer to energy to hit point

easy fix while waiting for Dysoch to produce a new version :)
in MAIN-DyTech-Machine_1.0.2\prototypes\cars\entity.lua
line 56 (under the setup for car2)
change
crash_damage_multiplier = 0.1,
to
energy_per_hit_point = 1,

and for the tank
MAIN-DyTech-War_1.0.1\prototypes\tanks\entity.lua
somwere around line 12 seems to work

add the line
energy_per_hit_point = 0.5,

Also experiencing this issue. The above fix allows factorio to load. Thanks for the temporary workaround.

So the cars fix seems to work, but when I do the tanks fix I get this

If i don't do the tanks fix I get this

are there people who are actually able to play this mod on .18 (not meant as a criticism)?

Hello nrich61,
write the line so:

[Cheata]

looking at my copy of the file in question i would guess that you are either putting the energy per hit point line after the "stack size =1" line, if this is the case you need to leave the comma off the energy_per_hit_point line and add it to the end of the stack size line.

or possibly you are mistakenly deleting the }, which exists around line 13, without looking at your modified file i cant say specifically what the mistake is.

simplest solution is to do it exactly as L3PO has done it in his screen shot above

also i would recommend using a notepad replacement such as notepad++ or notepad2 which can be setup to display line numbers and format code neatly

@Cheata, thanks for the tip, notepad2 is very helpful.
