Add a repeat mission link.

The problem with your campaign file is that if you played a mission and the containment goal wasn't true the game wouldn't have the faintest clue where to go. When this happens the game automatically forces you to replay the mission. However FRED reminds you that you have forgotten to explictly state this in the campaign file. Hence the error message. The game would actually work as is but you should really fix the error anyway.

You're in good company.

Admittedly that screw up is caused by the use of loops and I'm not certain that it could be fixed by moving the repeat mission link down but still.... :p

Yep. :)

FRED has a habit of reporting errors that don't make a lick of difference in the game itself. In a way that's a good thing cause it discourages sloppy FREDding practices but it can be pretty annoying at times too.
