BB, thanks for your continuing work on this. A question to make sure I'm understanding correctly: MISSDAT has copies of UNITREF from the beginning (UNIREF) and end (UNIREF2) of your latest combat, and they could be compared to see all changes from the combat, yes?

This is true, so long as the game was started from scratch. If the game was loaded from a save slot, then you'll need to use UNITREF.DAT from the slot in concern. | This is true, so long as the game was started from scratch.

BB, thanks for your continuing work on this. A question to make sure I'm understanding correctly: MISSDAT has copies of UNITREF from the beginning (UNIREF) and end (UNIREF2) of your latest combat, and they could be compared to see all changes from the combat, yes?

This is true, so long as the game was started from scratch. If the game was loaded from a save slot, then you'll need to use UNITREF.DAT from the slot in concern.
For example, if you started a combat, saved it, started another combat, saved it, loaded the first combat and completed it, the UNIREF file in the missdat folder would refer to the second combat, and the UNIREF2 file would refer to the first combat - two entirely different battles!
If you wiped the contents of your missdat folder and then loaded a save file, the UNIREF.DAT file won't turn up at all.
Hence, if you didn't save the first combat at the very beginning, the initial data would be lost. Does that make sense?
