[0.13.17] Creating an invalid entity on_player_left_game

Creating an invalid entity on_player_left_game event hardlocks factorio.
Relevant portion of log
I had a typo in a mod I was playing around with. Attempts to play an audible message when a player quits the game (or dies). If the (incorrect) AlliedReinforcementsHaveFallen entity is created when a play died then the normal script error appears and you are sent back to the main menu. The correct entity name is AlliedForcesHaveFallen which behaves correctly. All remaining connected players will hear either allied forces have fallen or enemy forces have fallen depending on depending on their allegiances to the disconnecting player.

But if this error occurs when a player quits the game then *all* players will find their factorio client frozen immediately and must use the taskmgr to forcefully kill factorio. Including the player that quit the game.

[edit]
Forgot to attach the mod in question.

Thanks for the report,

Lua mistakes aside, the game probably shouldn't hard crash from a script error

That mod sure sounds a lot like Red Alerts. ;)
