Ok, we don't know what has happened with CapnScurvy and Privateer. Since they have left no word about the status of their work or when they would return to the fold we have to get something new to move forward. I know from talking with s7trikeback that he has some finished work and propbeanie has finished the preliminary work on the Campaign files. Maybe s7trikeback and propbeanie can say what that work is so we can get something out and test them. Maybe a new cauldron mix like 0.28 or something

Yeah, I just posted in the "Reports" section about one of several issues I've been chasing, though I think I've been chasing my tail more than anything else - and sometimes I've ended up in a rabbit hole... |;^)
As for the Campaign, Quick Patrol and Single Mission stuff (as well as for your's and AOTD_MadMax's Single Mission stuff), I've left them alone for the last week or so, since we're not entirely certain of neither the ships nor the planes configurations & names completely yet. Also, I had s7rikeback put the older Japanese DD vessels that had been set to Type=3 in stock (Minekaze, Momi, MomiII and Wakatake - ??), back to that setting, since the IJN considered them to be "2nd class" vessels and did not use them as "front line" vessels. Before I go doing a "Search and Replace" for one thing, may as well do it for all of them if possible, so I'll wait a few more days - unless everyone wants to comment on that, and agree with the IJN that they should be set to Type=3 for "escort" duty, I'll go ahead and do those now in all the Campaign and Mission files, and save a few minutes now. The difference between a 3 and a 4 ship is the torpedoes, or it *should* be... Type=3 vessels should NOT have torpedo capability.
As for some of the other issues between some of the Campaign files and Mission files, I'm looking at quite a few "Date" errors messing things up, whether it'd be the time a vessel shows up on the playing field in the game, or it's actual creation or death date, in addition to some of the dates for the MIS files themselves, such as I found with some other MIS files, where multiple dates do not match. I have no idea how that can happen, unless someone took an "automatic" Mission updater and plugged bad data in by accident, and got hits that weren't expected, which got "automatically" changed by accident. I had similar when I did a "Search and Replace" earlier when I was relying on "Name=" only or "Type=" only, in that there's also "ClassName=" or 'MissionType=" or "WeatherType=" that can be hits... not cool... };^)
All that, plus I don't think I've found all the RGG units in MIS files that don't have "Leader" units all the time, and issues with some ships and airplanes names (or types) that we haven't discovered yet, plus the "Run-Away-Spawn" (RAS) issue (like the RUSS in "The Princess Bride"), and we'll have quite a bit of heavy duty testing yet to do...
