So an author can change that to better match the missionbriefing text, such as "Objective01=Patrol designated area near Davao Gulf for six (6) days", and your Captain's Log will then show that text. However, if after a time, a person ( ) edits the file, and changes either the name of the objective, or the name of the "placeholder" ("Objective01=" above), then the Captain's Log will show a "blank" instead... ?? It'd be nice if the ME could throw a "type mis-match", or a "Objective01 not equal to" error, but...

verbiage anymore, is my forte, explanations are not...

Bingo!

Dynamic Mission 01
[Text]
ContactReport 01_Objective1=Sink the enemy heavies
MissionBriefing=mission briefing
ContactReport 01_Event1=| X ATTACK IMMEDIATELY X DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR OTHER ASSIGNED DUTIES X
MissionTitle=mission title

Dynamic Mission 50
[Text]
MissionBriefing=mission briefing
MissionTitle=mission title
ContactReport 50_Event1= X DEFINITELY A LUCRATIVE TARGET X HOWEVER OTHER FORCES FOR ATTACKING WILL BE VECTORED THAT WAY X SAFELY BREAK CONTACT AND CONTINUE WITH ASSIGNED OPERATIONS OR RETURN TO BASE IF NECESSARY FOR FUEL SUPPLIES OR REPAIR X

Notice any difference?



so, Mission 50 picked up an Objective but no Objective text so it was "secret" and could not be fulfilled...not that it could.

ok, that's one issue resolved.
i'd like to figure out why the reload ignored all but one of our sinkings. do NOT even mention the "J" word.
