	See the post I did last night for multiplayer offsets. For normal
missions, use a hex editor to find them. Or, use view to look at the 
general.mix file - it'll show 118 things. Extract using the offsets, and
if you get a text file, it's scenario info, otherwise it's probably a map.
Maps always come after the scenario info, so once you find the scenario
info, look for an offset just after that...

	Andrew got the name wrong... scg01ea.ini

Guilty as charged. I missed out the 'e' (can I please a typing error?)

Also, you will HAVE to use map-p to replace the map in the general.mix 
file and not copy it to the end of the text file as I said in the 
uttorial. As this is the case, you may like to keep a backup copy of the 
general.mix file.

Since we are on the subject of errors, there is a small one in ccedit
1.5 that I noticed. when I increased the payload of the orca, the tech
level of it also increased, so if you give the orca a payload of 10 it
gets a tech level of 10, and there is no way to lower the tech level
back down..

Offsets> I have just figured out a neat way of finding offsets!!!
use mapview.exe, and on the rite side, should be some offset info about the map u are currently viewing, but u hafta recognize the map!

I tried my map, it didn't work, but at least it loaded it!!! I named mine scg01ea.ini ... maybe the "a" would help... maybe its a different map.
Please mail me if u get a map to work!
Thanx

Yep, I found this myself a day after I released v1.5. Revision 1 is now 
available and fixes this and another bug I also found.
