Eliminating vanilla database errors

[Thalassicus]

What's the easiest way to get rid of these standard vanilla error messages in database.log? I investigated the messages, but the files they reference are somewhat obscure, and after looking around half an hour I have not yet figured out the ideal way to solve these.

The second group (last eight lines) are a "feature" of the way the DLC scenarios have to be written - some of the scenario content is in the core DLC and is loaded every time, some of it is only in the scenario, so is only loaded when playing the scenario - so short of removing the DLC (or always playing the scenario) there is no easy way to remove those errors - unless you want to "hack up" the DLC scenarios and move the scenario specific units into the main DLC content files.

The first group (three lines) seem to be a bug in the core xml files, pretty sure the relevant xml files are in the asset .fpk files, so removing those errors would be non-trivial

Thanks for the advice! It's not a big deal to ignore these errors.

I wonder if updating the ArtDefine_LandmarkTypes table with an

INSERT ArtDefine_LandmarkTypes (Type, Landmarktype, FriendlyName)
SELECT 'SPECIAL', 'LandmarkHandler','Special';
would fix this error. Of course, I'm sure that would probabaly be waaay to easy
