Some errors do not prevent a mod from working, but countless errors in log do accumulate... makes debugging an inferno in complex missions.

I dedicate this post to some solutions ( I ) found to remove these error messages that are caused by some otherwise fully working mods.

Perhaps these solutions are not perfect ... and don't know if I can retrace my steps to all of them since the errors
do not exist anymore in my log...   But i'll try if I can... 

Feel free to participate. Add your own finds.

Warning: not meant to be a BAT issue tread. None of the input applied here may be relevant to BAT: strictly I use 412,2, SAS modact 5.3.
              At times I refer to BAT for potential undesired consequences it would have, as a reminder of this fact. But I do not test in BAT.

OK. If you use only AI, you wont have these. They are related to 412 bombsight class demands;

Only do this if you experience such errors and want to get rid of them... 412SAS5.3 Lancaster v3.2 (PS: correcting classfiles might be another way to do it... )
Yikes ! You need the mesches;   forgot that; pending...WIP  > https://www.mediafire.com/file/mpqe2adstavprtw/MeshesForLancFix.7z

Have not found this wav file anywhere; made one: took F4_no_lock.wav ( no sound )copied,retitled into 339_fuelsystem.wav.

[Apr 23, 2017 3:05:48 AM] -------------- END log session -------------[3:05:40 AM]   WARNING: Bad water if MapRID == 0

A great amount of maps are missing that file MapR(  id = 0 ): it serves for some lesser aspect/ways the water is being seen on the map;
( normally it contains visible "data-picture" of the wateraways and shores of that particular map... ).
So I extracted one, from a game map with no-water, to plug in wherever mapr is missing: https://www.mediafire.com/file/w2vi01n4lahbcr2/map_r.zip
Extract from an all water map would do also, maybe ( ? ). I've not tried. Since it has no water, it should add and have no effect other then removing the warnings.

U need the load.ini of a map at least, to activate a mod on a map. Here are most of them: https://www.mediafire.com/file/6hz6y7urudbdw8e/LesKlsDeLoad%2Cini_v2.7z

( your mod file search may reveal even more...) The first tga ( SAS_Engine ) prevails.
But mat may be of different names, so they are a much different matter. WP is the prevailing mat file by the same name..
Other then the mat error mention above, none of the other tga/mat are causing an error message.

So the dual entries in mat file, on the same topic are the issue.

[1:13:57 PM] INTERNAL ERROR: Str2FloatClamp() - Clamped 120 -> 60 (delta = -60) to Range 0..60
Message that has been around for quite sometimes. Basically ignored because, once clamped, an error simply cease to exist, well at least in the running game.
Also known to be associate with mounted in SFS_AUTO : sasup_effects01.sfs october,28,2013,2:29:58 AM

I have tried sasup_effects01.sfs in  412, SAS modact 5.3  RAW with no mods at all, and the two messages above are the only ones generated
by just starting the game, and then ending it. While in a mission, another matter.

Simple fix/ extract and drop in mod file :

[2:08:03 PM] INTERNAL ERROR: Str2FloatClamp() - Clamped 600 -> 32 (delta = -568) to Range 0..32This message is similar in cause to previous one, but origine is in effects of New Trains v1.1. The Clamp
message does correct the error in play, so the error has no effect. Fixing just remove the message. https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,40779.msg457106.html#msg457106

Contrary to the above fix to SAS effects ( a mod ), this fix is a patch, and the old file must be replaced. Readme.

Nothing to worry about, this is just an "internal" error which has been fixed automatically.
The background is that someone used exaggerated settings on an effects file.
But again, nothing to worry about.
