Common Errors and Warnings
| Message (Exact message can vary) | Explanation | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Warning Message: Picture iconmanleader not found | An image or icon was not found. | |
| 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! | ||
| Warning: looped for animation: a3\anims_f_epa\data\anim\sdr\cts\hubcleaned\briefing\hubbriefing_loop.rtm differs (looped now 0)! MoveName: hubbriefing_ext | ||
| a3\characters_f\proxies\flag.p3d: No geometry and no visual shape | ||
| B_LSV_01_unarmed_F: mainturret - unknown animation source mainturret | ||
| No face for B Alpha 1-4:1 No speaker given for 'Sotiris Zenon' |
||
| Strange convex component08 in a3\weapons_f_enoch\rifles\msbs\msbs65_ubs_f.p3d:geometryView | ||
| hidebullet_001 - unknown animation source codrivermuzzle_revolving | ||
| Trying to create an invalid center EMPTY | ||
| ModParams - Undefined or empty mod directory | modParams was unable to find the specified mod directory. | |
| Unit is not in cargo | ||
| Deinitialized shape [Class: "C_Soldier_VR_F"; Shape: "a3\characters_f_bootcamp\common\vr_soldier_f.p3d";] | ||
| Error: entity [ProxyFlag_Auto] still has its shape, ref_count=2 | ||
| "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. |
Creating a diagnostic file for DirectX
To better analyze the reason for malfunctions it might be useful to also create a DirectX diagnostic file.
- Press ⊞ Win + R to open the run command.
- Enter dxdiag and confirm
- After data collection is done, click on "Save All Information" and specify a location of where the file should be created.
