Introduction
The description.ext is a text file located in the root of the mission folder which will allow you to define many things in your mission. Each entry must be given a new line in the description.ext. It has even been said that a ; is required after each line but this isn't true of the 1.97 version and maybe required in the future. Certainly adding the semi colon won't hurt or effect your mission.
Features
OnLoadMission et al
This displays a message whilst the mission is loading. Note that a mission that takes very little time to load will only display the message for a short time. Care should be taken to see whether your message is readable in that timeframe.
Example:
OnLoadMission = "YourMessage"; OnLoadIntro = "YourMessage";
OnLoadIntroTime et al
This allows you to define whether you will see the time and date displayed whilst the mission loads. Variables are True or False.
Example:
OnLoadIntroTime = False; OnLoadMissionTime = False;
Score
This feature allows you to set scores for your mission. Score is related to the star display in the debriefing screen.
Example:
MinScore = 0;
AvgScore = 1800;
MaxScore = 7500;
ShowGPS = 0
