Error types
Errors can be Normal, or DebugOnly. If it is DebugOnly, the error will only show when Arma 3 is in debug mode.
Errors can also occur with, or without context. This is additional information about where the error occurs to improve the experience of debugging. However, even if an error occurs, additional context for the error will only be shown if Arma 3 is in debug mode

Serialization of Control variables is not implemented | Normal | Control variables cannot be saved by the game when a mission is saved, as they are specific to the time it was loaded. This means that this error will occur if such an item is saved in missionNamespace or if any script using control variables didn't run the disableSerialization command first. To fix this you can store Control values in uiNamespace instead and make sure that any scripts handling these variables have disableSerialization set. |

Updating base class RscShortcutButton->RscButton... | Normal | 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. |
