Hey guys,
Looking at the Balkans theater I noticed that almost every single bridge, junction, and village is listed as "nowhere". Now when you look at them in TACEDIT they have a name under "TNAME" but the actual name is "nowhere".
I found a TCL script from Snakeman that writes it will remove them. Not sure I want to remove every single bridge in the Balkans, but is there a better way then adding the names for every single one?

My opinion on this is that nonames are fine, as long as the objectives are all linked to a higher level parent. If they aren't linked (physically in the CAM file) but still name a parent that ***may*** be okay, but I haven't tested that to say for sure. To be safe, I say link them AND name a higher level parent and things should be fine then.

Sherlock,
Yes they are all linked perfectly (IMO ) I am basically fine tuning the Balkans campaigns, thus I went through every single object in the campaigns. They are all linked, and the PAKs are now working, thus the campaigns I created are running smooth. So learning this I decided to start them all over from scratch and really fine tune. So I deleted all units, and now working on the foundations. So everything is linked and all looks well, except for the fact that they display "NOWHERE" which is strange, cause if I click on the object in the map view in TACEDIT it will display the name as well as in the TNAME field. However, the NAME field is "NOWHERE" and they display as such in the UI and campaign.
I could manually name them all, but HOLY COW that will take a full time job.

Isn't it possible to write a script to make the content of "name" be the same of "tname" for the objectives that show a (nowhere) in that field? Not being very skilled in programming, but it seems not so hard.I found a TCL script from Snakeman that writes it will remove them.
