So I immediately thought that the solution was to edit the DF2briefing file by putting the name of the mission, the briefings, etc. Unfortunately, there is a problem here too...the strings available in the BIN editor "VARIABLE" section are the default ones of the campaign so for example "D03M05", "D06M08" etc. and I can not add more to put the name of my custom mission in the space below. Does anyone have a solution? Is there a way to add more strings so I can edit the BIN for my DF2 mission? This would solve both the problem of images and briefings.

df2 has a character limit on file names to 11 characters not including the extension. example: bigbadwolfy.bms, bigbadwolfy.tga, etc.
novalogic used those short names, "D03M05", to avoid long mission names within the .pff
i know this isnt a fixall, but it can help some of the small things that mappers would overlook at times.
