DFF error messages

From time to time DFF files might throw up error messages. These messages were added to find files which could potentially generate hard to reproduce and track down bugs in which the client can crash and tell you as a server owner that something is wrong.

Texture archive corrupt - File size mismatch with section headers, Re-exporting the file is recommended.

a texture archive in this resource is corrupt and may need attention, this error occurs because sections inside the file are telling the game the file is larger or smaller than it is Textures use the .txd extension, it is recommended to open this up with something like txd editor which can be found online and re-save it which should fix the section headers
