You have to edit the TSR file along with the MIS file. All headings &
names have to be EXACTLY alike. The TGA image file won't show up
but I don't know if the game actually needs it or not. I just renamed
another one and placed it in my new mission folder...

Using the method I described earlier I met with no success
on naming

in sh3 editor you can copy and paste the whole group of mission
units and groups by click and drag highlight over all and control
c and v to paste or if text based the mis file saves it that way.

The tsr file I would have to assume is the mechanism where by
the campaigns and missions are assembled in SH4 . if you look
at the campaign layers they are segmented instead of a single
block like in sh3 this helps with loading speed and running load.
and is a good feature but I have to learn to utilize it.

Where is it that your going to edit the TSR file?.

See my post in this thread:

Editing the TSR file has to be done OUTSIDE of the editor
after you have done all the mission setup and saved it.

Did you figure out how to get the mission name in to your game
its in text specific strings under mission validation.

Yes. I now have the names in. Thanks. Now I'm working on understanding the rest posted above.

Thanks to all for your help!
