Order of mission texts on the manifest screen

Post by Wildeblood »

How do I force my mission update to the top of the list on the manifest (F5, F5) screen? (Yes, I have a good reason, not simple vanity.)

Name your script "A". As far as I know the entries in the save game are named after their creating scripts and ordered alphabetically (each script can only have one entry at any time).

Code: Select all

	<key>mission_variables</key>
	<dict>
		<key>Random_Hits</key>
		<string>Your fellow headhunters regard you as a competent Executioner.</string>
		<key>display-reputation-contract</key>
		<string>On the cargo contract market you have a good, but not yet top standing.</string>
		<key>display-reputation-passenger</key>
		<string>Still a long way to go for you in the passenger ferrying business.</string>
(from my current save game; note that capital letters are ordered in front of lower case letters, thus "Random_Hits" preceeds "display-foo"; so the actual order may be simply after the ASCII codes)
