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... :P
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;
so I gave it what it wants i.e. fakes: find 3do\Cockpit\b-25j-bombardier\bombardierLANC.him

Have not found this wav file anywhere; made one: took F4_no_lock.wav ( no sound )copied,retitled into 339_fuelsystem.wav.
Can be place in My_Samples or L-39_pack_vega10092015\Samples or L-39_Sounds\Samples. https://www.mediafire.com/file/lpmrhpn9l3zh720/339_fuelsystem.zip (https://www.mediafire.com/file/lpmrhpn9l3zh720/339_fuelsystem.zip)

[2:15:31 PM] Cannot open audio file samples/Speech/ja/Actor6/01.wav solved //// does not exist; 0.wav and 01.wav from ja/Actor1 copied into Actor6/7/8/9.
Of course it depends which JA you use since there are many variants; I use an hybrid combination of all these, so think I have most existing speech lines and more.

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 (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 (https://www.mediafire.com/file/6hz6y7urudbdw8e/LesKlsDeLoad%2Cini_v2.7z)

One mod that currently cause such error message is: !!!!_US_Marine_Aviation_Pack aka the main pack.

Verified main packs were:

USMC_MainPack_FA18_AV8B_preV4.0_20170320

tfCompressMajorAlpha 1
tfNoCompress16Bit 0 ...or even perhaps remove this line entirely, ...untested.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a study of 9 x (with same path) PlaneDamageSmoke.tga sources in my mods...
( 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.
! ! SAS_Engine... : FighterHeavyEngineDamage.mat has line: tfNoCompress16Bit 1 cause no error <----- + main tga.
! 00_WeaponsPack_...: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error <-----WP
!!!!_US_Marine_Aviation_Pack..: EngineFuelMixture.mat has lines: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause error
tfNoCompress16Bit 1 cause error reupload. <---------
!!!!_US_Marine_Aviation_Pack..: EngineFuelMixture.mat has lines: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error.
tfNoCompress16Bit 0 cause no error.
Huey_D_BetaTest+AI: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
Huey_UH-1C+AI: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
Huey-UH-1B_Gunship: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
Hughes OH-6 CayuseVer2_and_AI: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
Hughes_MH-6 and MH6AI: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
Z50LXv1.2: JetSmoke.mat has line: tfCompressMajorAlpha 1 cause no error, covered by WP.
So the dual entries in mat file, on the same topic are the issue.

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.

Hi SAS~Storebror Thank you for your reply.
It is not about the error, but about finding the message source, and remove the message from log if so wanted.
No problem. See first post.
-
Ah I see.
Yes, it's possible to get where the issue comes from, but it involves modyfying a base game class.
I did so during Modact 6.4 development, will have to carry that over to other versions.
You're on 4.12.2 / BAT?

No spawner for Plane$BF_109K4C3
I do have a Bat version ( not quite up to date.. ) , but I use SAS 5,3.
From that modact, the class 2B9A89D62FA5D19A is overwritten by big Pack of stationnaries. Thus we have ( not in BAT ) :
[10:27:03 AM] No spawner for 'com.maddox.il2.objects.vehicles.planes.Plane$BF_109K4C3'
Removing line " BF_109K4C3 vehicles.planes.Plane$BF_109K4C3 2 " in stationnaries.ini file is therefore the solution
to both the message and the non working static plane. And it was done very much so in BAT . off topic purge.
So reintroducing a BF_109K4C3 stationary can only be done at a class level, as you say. For me, having BF_109K4 does suffice. But I did
look into it, because a mission with stationnaries/objects/vehicles in it that you don't have, looses them instantly when the mission is saved.
Hence a degradation of content in the original missions used in your game may result UNNOTICE: especially when using play option in FMB.
Since this stationnary plane is not from within basic game, I hope not such harm is being done...
I wonder if you ever did a rework on this one for 6.4. Would not be surprise if it was dropped entirely.
Best wishes.

Hi Hubberranz
This is a very interesting thread, thanks! :)
How do you figure out which file that causes errors like these:
INTERNAL ERROR: Str2FloatClamp()

Yes and no.
Concerning Str2FloatClamp: Can't remember exactly but IIRC the message is triggered internally inside il2core.dll deep enough not to make things accessible from outside.
Could be literally anywhere. Usually this is caused by an effects file (.eff) having ridiculous numbers somewhere.
Since the game clamps that wrong value automatically, there's nothing much to do here.
An effect modder went ballistic and the game automatically fixes it.
HierMesh: I've made a "HierMesh Debugger" for my own modding usage which prints the Java Stacktrace to find out where this issue came from.
I could release that tool in the Superschool, but mind you it's not for daily use, it floods your log and in the end, the modder who did that plane has to fix the issue.
Ships: For BAT I've started a "log-error free WAW" version, where ships won't get loaded from the ini files in the same old dumb way like they used to, but instead the game will check whether all required contents are available and only then it will try to load the ship. If some part is missing, this and only this will be written to the log, so each ship with missing parts causes exactly one log line where it definitely states what's missing.
"Unfortunately" the BAT devs are faster than me, I failed to catch up with the Expansion Packs in time, but maybe in the future we'll see that feature.
It will remain "BAT only" from my side, but like any of my mods, you can find the sourcecode on our Superschool Repository.

About error messages for ships.

vonOben
Sorry I'm late seeing your question.
I'm very much aware about the ship classes situation, since I'm not up to date with my ships in 412.2 SAS5.3 , while I was a lot more so in my DBW.
When you install the latest ship by a modder, such as Ashe; Gio; Flakiten; etc., the classes of this latest ship usually includes and replaces all (?) those that were made by that same author before and to date. Usually good to make an unified classes file per author for his ships. Therefore the game reminds you of ships you have not installed yet, because of the data processed unsuccessfully. No other solution then install each ship, which means the files other then classes for each missing mod. Don't think it is necessary to actually activate per lines in ini files to actually remove the messages ( will have be back on that one.. ); but reaching that point, you have everything at hand and in game, so why not complete such install and be done.
About any unified class file per author: ALWAYS replace accept by most recent date of file creation; not by date of your download that is.
To BAT users: consequently adding a VERY new ship to BAT wont be a problem or not. Adding a very old ship to BAT will be! off topic purge.
- do not retro your class files !
Any users: - important therefor to first try any older ship without using it's classes.
- only after that, U can "zero in" on any class(s) that may be unique to that ship; only if needed, then add and try it out.
Debug vonOben's style of error only: in his log: Ship0 is a slot, used by "ShipPack"... https://www.mediafire.com/file/7vxeac6xwdm7a6g/zzzz_ShipPack_3Dfiles_aka_ShipPack1and2.7z (https://www.mediafire.com/file/7vxeac6xwdm7a6g/zzzz_ShipPack_3Dfiles_aka_ShipPack1and2.7z)
,,,warning: 3d files only + entries much in excess ( ..meaning some entries refer to ships you already have ) .

OK. Important to know this effect may be present in a lot of mods or places or planes in your file of mods,
HOWEVER : only one is in use. REPEAT: only one such file is in use, and therefore only changing THAT one file at least, will prevent messages.
In my case the first file in my mods file to have this specific path + effect in it is ! 00_WeaponsPack_V1.3_20160923 .
Therefore, for me ! 00_WeaponsPack_V1.3_20160923 \ 3do \ Effects \ Aircraft \ afterburner.eff contains the error at point.
( Beware if you have placed a mod containing same effect, with same path, and preceding the above in hierarchy, then IT is the one that is in use ).

Hi Hubberranz
I downloaded zzzz_ShipPack_3Dfiles_aka_ShipPack1and2.7z and made a test extracting a few ships that made log file errors and was missing in my VP Modpack install:
Ship0
Ship1
Ship2
Ship3
Ship4
I didn't find any ini entries for those ships, so I didn't make any edits to my ini files.
But when I tested the errors remain the same:

So what am I supposed to do in this case?
-
Solution: create in cod file, a "-removed" file. Place -722250004 file into -removed file.
Do you mean creating a -removed folder and moving the -722250004 class file into that folder like this:
00_BF109_Ultimate_Pack_v3\ cod\-removed\-722250004
Do you know the reason some class files start with a - sign?

Exactly: 00_BF109_Ultimate_Pack_v3\ cod\-removed\-722250004
No. It is the first time I encounter a - file that actually functions. So I presume the cod file, which often have these, works in this manner.
In the past I thought they were out the way classes, but they are not. In that case, the "-" sign seems to be part of their name and process.

Hi Hubberranz
I downloaded zzzz_ShipPack_3Dfiles_aka_ShipPack1and2.7z and made a test extracting a few ships that made log file errors and was missing in my VP Modpack install:
Ship0
Ship1
Ship2
Ship3
Ship4
I didn't find any ini entries for those ships, so I didn't make any edits to my ini files.
Ship0 Ship1 Ship2 Ship3 Ship4 were just EMPTY slots, circa 409 and earlier, available to anyone to add a mod-ship per slot.
When they are empty there are no other files to be applied to them.
Provided were all the ShipPack files, because some of them might be what your classes want. I did not include the original classes as they are obsolete.
And I do not propose "install these ships". This is a 'try out' of files to debug and you did some. Do not edit ini's.
Since I do not have this problem, I cannot work on it myself.
The files are not to be kept running as they will overwright SFS file content that could be more up to date.
The original idea was to see if the logs errors would disappear when said files were read.
If yes, the idea was then to proceed to locate which of the file was needed, by elimination.
However, upon checking the two Shipack ( 1 and 2 ) entry lines, seems they do have all their very own slots.
At first, you had a foremost ship0 issue reported in Post 15. Now that first line in log is skipped... Post 21.
In the second zzzz file, which is actually ShipPack 2, those files Ship0 to 4 that you talk about: yes, THEY ARE EMPTY.
Meaning you can put anything in there: ... per the old concept ... and not so IF without the proper activation classes...
Debug1. Was try all the files at once. OK Now we have seen Ship0 and the likes are empty, so...
Debug2. Try only the ship0 file this time. No activation is required. Just give the log what it wants (some files ... ) in that slot.
zzzz_ShipPack2_ aka_ShipPack_3DFiles_Only_debugWithIt \ 3do \ Ships \ Ship0 \ ...
( zzzz naming is for very very low priority, so as to be last resort in use by your game, but still it precedes SFS content ).
i.e. : [Ship0]:<Mesh> not foundCan't set property
- in debug2, object is to remove one log statement at a time.
- Search your ini files for [Ship0] to be shure it is not already in use, for if it is , it will be affected.
If it is, then that ship has a name and mod with that ship is at fault. If not, proceed.
- It would seems possible an "him" in this Ship0 slot is already at work.. so placing in new, even obsolete hier.him with
the related sub files might resolve by masking this him. ( ...assuming this "him" uses that "hier.him" generic name ).
- The simplest would be to use the Boat files, and add them to Ship0 empty file. ( It wont affect Boat in it's own slot ).
- test.
- subsequently, it is possible that, after masking an issue, the log will present a new one: like "ship1" and so forth...
- according to your second log, would appear it is already so.
-Repeat the process. If a slot is not used who cares of it's content; then if /when use by a mod, zzzz assures no problem with that new priority mod.
- be aware that from SFS source, a new mod using these "available" generic slots would then in turn be masked. Unmask then per item.
- if Boat don't do it, try bigger ship's files.
-
Let me chip my $0.02 in...
When you install the latest ship by a modder, such as Ashe; Gio; Flakiten; etc., the classes of this latest ship usually includes and replaces all (?) those that were made by that same author before and to date.
Even the latest versions of e.g. ship packs often times do not include models for all slots defined in their Java classfiles.
This is because in the classfiles some slots apparently are used as "spare" slots.
They cause errors in the log, but they don't cause any other issues. It's really just log flooding, and it only happens once when you start the game.
To BAT users: consequently adding a VERY new ship to BAT wont be a problem. Adding a very old ship to BAT will be!
Unfortunately that's not always true.
There's the odd occasion where BAT ini files refer to ship classes included with Stock IL-2 4.12.2, but "undisclosed" in that base game version - Ashe's offers to TD for instance.
If you replace these classes with newer versions, all kind of issues may happen as TD has a rather strange way to modify content when they include it in their "official" patches - probably to obfuscate things a bit and to make further modding harder.
Debug vonOben's style of error only: in his log: Ship0 is a slot, used by "ShipPack"...[/quote]
It's actually one of those "spare" slots mentioned above.
As nasty as the log error entries may be, these don't justify further "try&error" manipulations to self-contained modpacks like BAT since they might cause more damage than you think.

Attention:
Not all of these limits apply to all Client Installations in the same way.
While the limit for you is 32, it might be 64 for others - just as an example.
Some of these limits are really "hard" limits, others depend on the hardware and/or conf.ini settings.
Traced back to codes in 00_BF109_Ultimate_Pack_v3\ cod\ -722250004 ( ..in spite of "-" , it is not a disabled cod !!).
Solution: create in cod file, a "-removed" file. Place -722250004 file into -removed file.
warning: intent was to solve Dgen campaign problem which was then after made able to continue normally.
- May not solve any loadout issue Bf-109G6late might have .
- Bf-109G6late checked. All loadouts are there . Gunpods are there. Rechecked: all three canons firing correctly. Oh well...as per original stock SFS I would think.
Attention:
These cod files contain a complete ordnance option list definition.
If you replace this list with another one (like you did here, where disabling the list defined in the -722250004 will put the stock ordnance list in place instead, you might fix one issue and create a dozen others.
This may or may not work on a single plane, it's definitely not a "swiss knife" solution for all kind of DGen errors of such kind for sure.
About the "-" sign: The only "magic" about the minus sign is that when you put it in front of a folder name on 1st level inside a mods folder (e.g. you put a "-" in front of the name of a folder inside "#WAW3"), then the whole folder including all it's content will be ignored.
That's all.
The fact that putting a "-" in front of a hashed classfiles name disables that single file is just because the name becomes invalid. You could as well put any other character at any other position of that file and it would be ignored as well.
The fact that files inside the "cod" folder can have a "-" sign in their name is because they're hashed in decimal format instead of the hex format like we know from Java Classfiles. Decimal Hashes can take the whole range of signed Int32 values.
Ship0 Ship1 Ship2 Ship3 Ship4 were just EMPTY slots, circa 409 and earlier, available to anyone to add a mod-ship per slot.
When they are empty there are no other files to be applied to them.
Exactly.
I do not propose "install these ships".
Exactly. Can't stress that enough. Installing such packs "on top" is asking for trouble.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, SAS~Storebror. I appreciate. 8)
The hardware connection to limits, I have not aware of that.
It' all about messages, not problem solving. A person with superior hardware, so a higher range to his limits wont
have the error messages. Those that don't, will have the messages.
An exception to my own policy ( of messages solving, not problem solving, in the tread here ... ) is this post :
The dgen problem was that. A problem. Stuck after hundred invested battles and flights, and the campaign did not go anywhere or going anywhere near it's conclusion, it was not possible to continue till I found the culprit.
While I expected the bf-109G and more to be screwed, turns out it was not, because it reverted to it's original programming, as you confirm.
Note: I did not post such findings in that mod tread. Not relevant to do so.
Why do I care about messages, since they don't cause malfunction at all (First post) ?
My log becomes clogged with errors and they grow in numbers each new mod. Yes i'm aware log filters do exists .
But some of these errors are in a loop. Soon solving a real problem ( not here ) becomes fishing out the needed
error data in a sea of clutter...
One fine example of loop of errors is the L-39. And unfortunately it is the basis for lot modern plane's FMs.
Although I love this plane absolutely, :-* ; it is such a pleasant aircraft to fly. Meanwhile the log goes to the moon and back.
The fact that files inside the "cod" folder can have a "-" sign in their name is because they're hashed in decimal format instead of the hex format like we know from Java Classfiles. Decimal Hashes can take the whole range of signed Int32 values.
Thanks for this input. I suspected something like that going on in the cod file.

Thank you very much for the info guys :)

...is there an end to this log ? ..or this is it?
...are you crashing while loading the game such as 20%, 60%, 70% ?
...are you crashing after trying to play in QBM such as 30% load ?
Cant forsee unless you tell, what kind of crash you're talking about.
You can use # insert in a post, for a proper log's quote window.
"objects.air.A_6$1.doAction(A_6.java:1809)" : you are trying to install INTRUDER as last mod.
"cup MissionProCombo v4122" : you are using cup, which contains some pretty old stuff...
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,56666.msg628853.html#msg628853
...now I do see a crash in this post, if it is the same topic.
What is suspicious: at com.maddox.il2.objects.air.A_6$1.doAction(A_6.java:1809) : do action then loops.
update requisites to most recent: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,56666.msg627475.html#msg627475
check first post A-6 mod for changes in prerequisites since then.
see this warning: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,56666.msg627656.html#msg627656
hope that helps.
