Briefing
How to create a briefing, its not done with briefing.html anymore, but with the “tasks” command. Read more here.
Mission Editor ComRef
Mission editor comref and auto complete.
When you are typing a command in an init line in the editor, you will see a brief syntax hint as it tries to complete the word. e.g. type in createVeh and you see a pop-up:
createVehicle [type, position, markers, placement, special] type createVehicle pos
If that wasn't enough for you, just press F1 when you can see a popup to see the complete COMREF for that command! And, looking at the COMREF page, you can even press a button to copy the example code to the clipboard so you can paste it directly back into the init line!
