Summary0000620: Plot Info Problems
DescriptionProblem found in JAD2

ngtm1r said that he got an error saying that it was trying to find #Plot Info. A similar problem was also reported by nuclear1 in Desparation Ch2. He suggested copying and pasting the #Plot Info from a stock mission. But even after readding it from a retail mission, ngtm1r said the problem remained.

Oddly enough, Fenrir also had problems with the campaign with the #Plot Info being added in.
TagsNo tags attached.

Make sure ngtm1r's not running retail.

Retail saves the #Plot Info section, but since it contains absolutely no useful information, I removed it in the SCP. FRED still generates dummy #Plot Info data when saving in retail format, though, so reverse compatibility is maintained.

ngtm1r's response:

"No. I've tried various builds starting with 3.6.7 and ranging back to 3.6.6"

Ah. That explains why. I think I did this after 3.6.7 came out. Only recent CVS builds are compatible. I just tested the mission and it worked fine with current CVS.

Closing as not-a-bug. Either provide a version of your campaign with the #Plot Info section, or tell everybody to use the latest CVS build. :)
