1.8 rescource system and error reporting (and more on strings)

Another one for the artist friendly crowd:

If any of the 43 possible ::create() functions fail to load for whatever reason during the

void ResourceBase::assign(const ResourceBase &inResource)

function, you're greeted with nothing more than:

Con::errorf("Failed to create resource: [%s]", path.getFullPath().c_str() );

all fine and good if youre one guy tossing in one asset at a time, but for collaboration/upgrade work ect, you'll need a bit more fine-grained feedback on just why. example in this case, would be:

had several dts files failing to load up, with no data other than 'hey i can't make that'. no reason given, so (being the ocd type guy I am when things go pear shaped) tacked in:

template<> void *Resource<TSShape>::create(const Torque::Path &path)
{
   FileStream  stream;

   stream.open( path.getFullPath(), Torque::FS::File::Read );

   if ( stream.getStatus() != Stream::Ok )
   {
	   Con::errorf("Failed to create TSShape resource: [%s]. Bad Stream Status!", path.getFullPath().c_str() );
      return NULL;
   }
   TSShape * ret = new TSShape;

   const String   extension = path.getExtension();

   bool  readSuccess = false;
   bool correctformat = false;

   if ( extension.ToLower(extension).equal( "dts" ) )
   {
	   correctformat = true;
	   readSuccess = ret->read(&stream);
   }
   else if ( extension.ToLower(extension).equal( "md2" ) )
   {
	   correctformat = true;
	   readSuccess = ret->readMD2(&stream);
   }
   if (!correctformat) Con::errorf("Failed to create TSShape resource: [%s]. Bad Extention!", path.getFullPath().c_str() );

   if( !readSuccess )
   {
      delete ret;
      ret = NULL;
	  Con::errorf("Failed to create TSShape resource: [%s]. Unable to Read Stream!", path.getFullPath().c_str() );
   }

   return ret;
}

This both gave additional feedback, and resolved the underlying issue in this case, wich was: quite a few exporters will export the file with an uppercase extention, wich will not properly resolve to "dts", but "DTS" in the above scenario.
