Howdy. I've got the FS Open 3.6.9, and I'm on my second run through the main Freespace 2 campaign. However, no matter what I do, when I get to Rebels and Renegades, I get the following error. It's odd, because I KNOW I got that medal the first time through.
Error: Invalid medal name.
In sexpression: ( when
( is-goal-true-delay "Escape" 0 )

)
(Error appears to be: SOC Unit Crest)

I've restarted the campaign, built a brand new pilot and ctrl+shift+s'ed to this mission, I've selected the port mod and played a couple missions and come back, etc... To be honest, I have been able to play as one pilot throughout multiple campaigns and mods, but now it seems my game is borked.
Here's my history:
I went through the Freespace Port with no issues. After completing that, I jumped around to a bunch a different mods and campaigns and missions trying to figure out which one to do next. I finally just decided to do the Freespace 2 campaign. I got to the Sicilian defense, but I couldn't select any bombs. Kara was nice enough to send me a Freespace 2 campaign starting at that mission so I could complete the game. I have since removed that campaign and tried to go through the original again, to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Secondly, to avoid this in the future, what should I do? Should I make a new pilot for every single campaign? Or is one pilot per mod the way to go?
Thanks. Great game. Great community.
