DTA crashes upon running custom map
Subject description: Attempting to make a custom campaign for DTA. It's not going well, unfortunately.
Hi all! First post!
I'm trying to make a custom campaign. So far, I've gotten my battle.ini modified, and edited the tutorial.ini to include my new dialog. That's where my successes ended though. Whenever I try to run the map I created, it crashes DTA!
Of course, I went looking around, but I've never seen this error before, and it seems I might be the first one experiencing this error. Here's the short hand error that it throws in.

Error code: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I've attached both the map and the entire exception log, so that you can try to figure out what's going on.
Your map lacks the standard houses. All singleplayer maps need to define the standard houses first, mission-specific houses need to become after them in the map's house list. You can generate the standard houses by pressing the "Standard Houses" button in FinalSun.
Iow. currently your [Houses] list looks like this:

For the future I recommend joining our Discord server, we're usually online there and you can get help much faster: https://discord.gg/tgUnvd8
For the houses:I actually tried this, thinking it might've been the problem. It may be one of the problems I have, but it's not whatever is crashing my map, as you can see from the embedded version that has the original standard houses. Also not shown on the map, but I changed colors around with this variation to ones I absolutely knew were supported by the engine, because I thought maybe peach Nod was responsible. It's not, unfortunately. I also appended the error log for whatever that's worth.
I converted the map to a multiplayer map and it works without issue, so I'm not sure what's going sideways here.
While I appreciate the offer, I absolutely detest Discord, and would prefer the forums over Discord. There's form and function, with the phrase "form over function" often describing such applications, but Discord lacks both of them.
