As you can see, there is a lot of information presented in this file. The good news is you can fix these errors, you just need to know how.

List of Fixes for Each Type of Error

Warning Message: No player was selected

This error means that the mission that caused the error doesn't have a unit marked as player. Probably most common in mp missions where all playables tend to be marked as playable instead of player. You can fix this error by simply adding/changing one of the playable units to player.

WARNING: Function 'name' - So-and-so is dead

Do not call name on a dead object. if (alive _obj) then {name _obj};

w:\c\Poseidon\lib\d3d9\engdd9.cpp(4967) : Unable to create vertex buffer - Reset needed

???

Client: Object 2:9 (type UpdatePositionMan) not found.

Happens when you setPos someone (?) (Dedicated server only)

String STR_FOOBAR not found

Make sure string is in Stringtable.csv.

No alive in 10000

Usually when you have a while loop that's having to execute a lot of times without stopping or sleep.

Shadow polygon doesn't have 3 vertices

Usually when you have a model shadow lod [10.000] that has not been triangulated in 02

Performance warning: Search for 620fda98# 121255: trafostanica_velka.p3d was very large (1480 m)

Displayed when nearestObject is given coordinates which are too far from the object being searched for.

w:\c\Poseidon\lib\Network\networkClient.cpp(845) : Respawn failed - body disappeared

A respawnable body that had not respawned yet was deleted.

Warning: Script not executed, param 'timePeriod' value is to small(0.0001)

This is related to particle effects according to Suma _{(dead link)}.
