• Syntax: String
• Default: MedalsDisplayEmpty

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

+Callsign Position 640:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Specifies where the player's callsign should appear on the screen, for the GR_640 resolution. An X value of -1 causes the callsign to be centered on the X-axis.

• Default: -1, 89

+Label Position 640:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Specifies where the medal label should appear on the screen, for the GR_640 resolution. Note that it is necessary to specify the width of this area in addition to X and Y, because the label is centered within it.
• Syntax: Integer X, Integer Y, Integer W
• Default: 241, 458, 300

+Label Position 1024:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Specifies where the medal label should appear on the screen, for the GR_1024 resolution. Note that it is necessary to specify the width of this area in addition to X and Y, because the label is centered within it.

$Name:

• Defines the name of the medal

• Syntax: String

+Position 640:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Specifies where the medal bitmap should appear on the screen, for the GR_640 resolution.
• Syntax: Integer X, Integer Y
• Defaults to the appropriate FS2 medal position

+Position 1024:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

+Debriefing Bitmap:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Defines the bitmap used for the medal in the debriefing screen.
• Syntax: String
• Defaults to the appropriate FS2 medal image
• NOTE: For medals which have more than one debriefing image, such as Rank or Wings, the file name can contain ##. This will be replaced with a number corresponding to the version, so DebriefWings## will show the plain Wings medal for the first version and the Wings medal with laurels for subsequent versions. This should be applicable to any medal, not just Rank or Wings.

$Num mods:

• Sets the number of the medal the player can obtain
• Syntax: Integer

+Version starts at 1:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Defines whether the debriefing medal image starts numbering at 01 versus 00.
• Syntax: Boolean
• Defaults to the appropriate FS2 value
• NOTE: This setting only exists because Volition started the numbering for Rank at DebriefRank01 and for Wings at DebriefWings00. So you can start the numbering for your custom medal version at whatever number suits your fancy.

+Available From Start:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. If true, the medal will always be in the medal case.
• Syntax: Boolean
• Defaults to false.

+Persona:

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

• Optional. Defines the persona associated with this text. If omitted, marks this text as the default text.
