Runtime Error in map generation

[Soren217]

1. Mod version, and DirectX version if reporting a graphical issue (X.Y.Z, e.g. 1.4.4, DX 10 & 11):

1.4.4

2. Mod list (if using Vox Populi only, leave blank):

Custom Advanced Setup Screen (v.5)

3. Error description:

When using the Custom Advanced Setup Screen mod with CBP, the Communitas map generator fails to place luxury resources and the log reports this:

[9514.421] Runtime Error: C:\Users\Z217\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(6a) Vox Populi - Compatibility Files (EUI)\LUA\AssignStartingPlots.lua:8596: attempt to compare number with nil

It seems caused by this commit:

https://github.com/LoneGazebo/Community-Patch-DLL/commit/12d464fb35dffe29e5245900476ddf6b06d32e97

At least, commenting out this section in AssignStartingPlots.lua fixes it:

                    elseif res_ID == self.silver_ID or res_ID == self.fur_ID then
                        if (region_type == RegionTypes.REGION_TUNDRA and self.startLocationConditions[region_number][8] >= 2) or
                            (region_type == RegionTypes.REGION_DESERT and self.startLocationConditions[region_number][9] >= 2) then
                            -- enough tundra/desert to place the silver/furs at start location
                            table.insert(resource_IDs, res_ID);
                            local adjusted_weight = resource_options[2] / (1 + self.luxury_assignment_count[res_ID]);
                            table.insert(resource_weights, adjusted_weight);
                            iNumAvailableTypes = iNumAvailableTypes + 1;
                        else
                            -- debug
                            print("Luxury", res_ID, "cannot be placed in region", region_number, "due to a lack of corresponding terrain at start location.");
                        end

(Also, the reason for using this mod is just for easy hotseat setup, but it happens even if only one player is set to human.)

Oh, didn't think to check the closed ticket section for this, sorry.

It is strange though, I only encounter this issue with the custom advanced setup screen mod.
