Description

Found cause of this bug:

Warning Message: 'author/' is not a value

It turns out if you define author= after onLoadName= in description.ext, then Arma will generate the error message as a popup window and log entry, when starting the mission in the 3D editor (and other MP times I think).

If you define it before, then it works fine.

Hmm, although changing it (as above) made a difference, it does not seem to be a consistent fix, as I first thought. There seems to be more to it than this.
