Mission Groups
All mission settings are organized under main groups according to their type. These groups always appear in the same order in official missions. (it is uncertain if the ordering matters)
Not all the of the groups are vital for the mission to work. The [CPUTeam#], [Event####], and [Sequence####] may have multiple instances in the file.

Weapon Strings
The weapon settings in a mission may be configured individually for each team through use of the Ammo_ and Delay_ prefixes, followed by a weapon string and settings. For example, Ammo_Batrope=-1 would set a team's ninja rope supply to infinite, and Delay_Bazooka=2 would apply a 2 turn bazooka delay.
The following is a list of weapon strings. You always have an infinite supply of Skip go and Surrender, so supplying ammo is unnecessary. It is currently unknown if it is possible to add Aqua Sheep directly to the inventory (but they can be provided in weapon crates, which is the method used in the official missions).
| Hot Key | Column #1 | Column #2 | Column #3 | Column #4 | Column #5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Util. | JetPack | LowGravity | FastWalk | LaserSight | |
| F1 | Bazooka | HomingMissile | Mortar | HomingPigeon | SheepLauncher |
| F2 | Grenade | ClusterBomb | BananaBomb | Axe | Earthquake |
| F3 | Shotgun | Handgun | Uzi | Minigun | Longbow |
| F4 | FirePunch | DragonBall | Kamikaze | SuicideBomber | Prod |
| F5 | Dynamite | Mine | Sheep | SuperSheep | MoleBomb |
| F6 | AirStrike | NapalmStrike | PostalStrike | MineStrike | MoleSquadron |
| F7 | BlowTorch | PneumaticDrill | Girder | BaseballBat | BridgeKit |
| F8 | Batrope | Bungee | Parachute | Teleport | Scales |
| F9 | SuperBananaBomb | HolyHandGrenade | FlameThrower | SallyArmy | MBBomb |
| F10 | PetrolBomb | Skunk | MingVase | SheepStrike | CarpetBomb |
| F11 | MadCow | OldWoman | Donkey | NuclearBomb | Armageddon |
| F12 | SelectWorm | Freeze | MagicBullet |
You can also add the instant effect utilities to your inventory with the following weapon strings, which will correctly take effect for the opening turn only, regardless of how many ammo you give. The exception is Crate Spy, which will last for the entire mission, as expected.
- Damagex2
- CrateSpy
- DoubleTime
- CrateShower
Text_String_Index
The transition messages you get during missions are hardcoded into the game and are referred to via a number. The following table summarises which numbers refer to which messages (in English).
Notes:
- There is a typo in-game for messages number 22 and 42, they contain a carriage return arrow at the end.
- Strings 120 - 130 are the names of the CPU teams usable in missions.
- There may be other non-empty strings beyond 130, but they are unlikely to be useful for the purpose of being used during a mission.
