In each 'box' it lists the errors. You can select text in it by holding left mouse button down and moving mouse. Once selected press 'Ctrl+C' to copy to clipboard. Press Ctrl+V to copy to here.

There are 2 class errors that aren't really important and can be ignored. They deal with the mines and subnets. You have to interpret the results. Some units don't have .sns files (mines and subnets) thus the error isn't really an error. The app is very thorough in it's checking and validating.

DefSide errors are the most common errors found as they are easily overlooked when mods are made.

Might be best to place here also

The buoys missing the .eqp and .sns files are ok

You have to interpret the results. I can't say such and such file is not required for such and such unit until such and such unit is defined (for the classes)

then here you go (SH3 v.1.4 GWX 3.0):

great suggestion I'll add it. Any other suggestions just let me know

now from you list you can ignore:

All the other errors are valid and should be fixed

[TheDarkWraith]

v1.7.0 released. See post #1 for details

[TheDarkWraith]

If you open up that defside file (with Notepad) you'll see a list of countries and dates. Those errors are telling you that dates overlap for those countries.

Can you possibly post a screenshot of this unhandled exception error?

[STEED]

Very useful tool.

OK here's mind

So what do these errors mean and how do you fix it? Easy!

Let's look at the German one. Here is what is defined for Germany in the defside.cfg file:

[SideEntry 7]
Country=German
Side=0
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19390831

[SideEntry 8]
Country=German
Side=2
StartDate=19390901
EndDate=19450509

[SideEntry 9]
Country=German
Side=0
StartDate=19450509
EndDate=19451231

If you look at the StartDate of the entry it is 1 more than the previous entries EndDate (country has to be the same). In SideEntry 9 the StartDate is exactly the same date as SideEntry 8's EndDate and thus the app flagged that as an error

great work
