Is there a way to get more info from lua errors?

In my time with scripting for FS, I've noticed that there are two kinds of lua errors, namely very basic ones, and more extensive ones.
The simple are something like this:

Error: Running LUA method '...'.
path/path/path/filename.lua(lineNr): error

The more extensive ones seem to be the entire callstack of the error, including calling function, etc. etc..
What I'm wondering about is: what determines which type of error is shown? Obviously, for debugging purposes, the more extensive errors are way more helpful. Is there a way to force all lua errors to be this extensive?

Hi,

nope. It all depends on what error is caused/triggered.
You can print callstacks manually (in your mods), but that's a different story, as you are refering to default scripts.

Cheers,
Emil
