Objectives keep reverting changes

Is there some trick to editing an objective? I have a particular no-kill objective that is causing me significant frustration.

 

Right now it is set to be on for Hard and Expert. I just want it on Expert. I uncheck the Hard box, hit OK. Load up the objectives and check it again, just be to be sure, and only the Expert box is checked. Good.

 

Save the map, dmap it, load it, and the No Kill is active on Hard. Load up the map in DR, and the Hard box is checked again. WTF? This has already happened three times now. It happened on this same objective with a different detail, though that one eventually stuck.

 

Is there some step to editing an objective that I'm missing?

One thing that comes to mind which I've done myself a few times: When you go into edit and set Hard then click OK and go back to the main editor you MUST also click the OK on that main editor page not just close it. I think that final OK is what writes it to the entity.

 

Another thing I've sometimes done but I don't think it applies here is test play the wrong version number, eg, been entering map mymap77 so many times that when I just incremented to mymap78 and saved from DR I still entered map mymap77 out of habit. I have sometimes gone crazy trying to figure out what I'm seeing. Both DR and TDM running. Keep editing and saving mymap78 from DR. Keep pulling up the map mymap77 history and running it in TDM! D'oh!

Hmm, maybe I did that, I don't know. I'll keep it in mind for the future, thanks.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
