I have followed the correct procedures for adding custom LUAs to the mission reqs.

When I munge tat2z.lua it works exactly as it should. When I munge tat2_z01.lua into the mission, it crashes when I launch that mission in game. Is there a limit for the character length in the LUA name? I'm going to try reducing it one character at a time until it stops crashing.

And SPtest says nothing about the scripts either.

Update:
SleepKiller has informed me that the limit for AddOn mission LUA is 12 characters.

For campaigns I do not know yet. Stock campaign such as tat2i_h uses 7 characters, and my game crashes on 8, but it could also have something to do with using multiple numbers. I'm not sure yet.

It also may not expect a number at the end of the name.

Ok I have confirmed the limit is 7 characters and multiple numbers are in fact allowed.
