More custom data card and mission naming constraints?

gulredrel · November 12, 2022

Hello,

just tried the custom data card feature, which I think is really a great idea.

Wanted to ask, if there are more constraints regarding the usage of the custom data card as I encountered the following.

Please find attached a working card and mission, if you want to try the feature.

Several attempts trying to load the mission failed when file was named "MB-339_Kobuleti_Navigation.miz" and the data cartridge file "MB-339_Kobuleti_Navigation.txt". Loading screen stopped at mission load done, but nothing happened anymore.

last logline (old dcs log attached): Dispatcher (Main): loadMission Done: Сontrol passed to the player

There was nothing regarding the loading of the data card.

Only after renaming the mission and the data card file, mission could be loaded. Do "-" and "_" and lower upper case represent a problem?!

Also looks like the auto generated entries have some problems when used as template in custom card, this is part from dcs log:
