Note about mission briefings

A kind of important note about writing mission/campaign briefings. Do not write "..." in the briefing, because the game considers this a "next line" command that moves the text after the "..." to the next line, taking out of some of it in the process. To show what I'm saying here is an example:

Say you type this into a mission briefing .TXT file.

"Sir," said your officer, "We're... We're having trouble on the south flank."

THIS is how it shows up in the game"

"Sir," said your officer, "We're
e having trouble on the south flank."

To get around this, put spaces in between the periods like this:

"Sir," said your officer, "We're. . . We're having trouble on the south flank."
