Editing:
-------
The Safe and a (placeable version of the) Note with the Code that's required to
open the Safe can be found in the ingame editor under... Empty > MERCS Objects

To make the (required) dialogs available in your custom mission, you'll need to put
a copy of the included description.ext template into the same directory where your
mission.sqm is. If you are already using a description.ext in your mission, then
just copy the contents from our template and paste it to your existing file.

In the demo mission an enemy officer carries the Note with the Code and drops it
like any other "weapon" once he's killed, allowing the player to pick it up and
access the Code. The officers init field looks like this:

this addWeapon "MERCS_Code_Paper";

If you want the player to have that Note with the Code right away, just put that
same line in his own init field. A player that has that Note can check the Code
anytime using the action menu. That action menu entry will disappear once the
Safe is empty.

Please note that there can only be one Safe in a mission (at a time).
