Bonus Mission - Springfield

How do i Unlock The downloadable Bonus Mission - Springfield?

the zip file available for download only contains the .exe to install the mission and no hints on how to unlock it.

you don't even need to download anything to open the bonus mission

just open up bos.cfg (use wordpad to do this) in the core folder

look for the line {misc.bonusMission} = {false}

change it into {misc.bonusMission} = {true}

mind you, though: the springfield mission is mission 8, so you'll only get it after you've been to bunker beta and after you've completed mission 6

another thing: you might have to extract the contents of the tiles_0.bos, entities_0.bos and mis-main_0.bos files (with winzip, output directory should be the core folder) before this trick works (i'm not really sure, maybe the latest patch is enough as well, i forget)

voilà! that is how you do it...

Thanks for the heads up on how to do it.

I might go and do that mission later.
I make a separate save game after each mission so if anything goes wrong then i can go back.
