These messages contain C style printf codes (eg %d for an integer %s for a char string) which can be passed into k_error as additional params and will be inserted into these messages. This method allows a generic message to be displayed with circumstantial information inserted. <br /> <br /> Ironically it does mean the Messages in the data file are fairly well tied to the hard coded number and type of params that are passed to k_error.<br /> <br /> When changing messages beware not to alter the %&#039;s such that places you aren&#039;t working on can still call k_error meaningfully.</div>
