| Updating base class RscShortcutButton->RscButton... | Caused by inheriting from wrong config while modifiying an existing base class. Currently Arma 3 has a lot of these issues out of the box. | |
| Cannot delete class B_KickOff, it is referenced somewhere (used as a base class probably) | Attempt to delete a class failed. | |
| SimulWeather - Cloud Renderer - noise texture file is not specified! | ||

| "Some path": Missing ';' at the end of line | ||
| "Unsupported language English in stringtable" | Happens if an entry was not found in the desired language e.g., English. This error will even show if it falls back to another lanuage e.g., Original. When stringtable can't find the entry it wants, it first tries Original entry, then English after that, the first entry in the stringtable is taken. | |
| Serialization of Control variables is not implemented | Can be produced when the game is saved (e.g. via saveGame). Possible reasons:
Solution: Use the uiNamespace to save Control variables and use disableSerialization in scripts and functions that contain Control variables. |
|
| DiaryParser: <br/> without corresponding <br> | Erroneous </br> (</br>) instead of <br/> (<br/>) used in stringtable.xml for localized string that is being used with createDiaryRecord or setDiaryRecordText. Does not seem to care for </br> used in scripts directly. |
