- [Added] Ability to disable fatigue and stamina through a single mission parameter. You must update your description.ext accordingly to the example file provided in the "samples" folder.

- [Added] A few translations now support more languages than French and English. It's Google Trad so it can be pretty inaccurate, sorry for the inconvenience. Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to contribute.

- [Added] First iteration of the fourth objective, which is an hostage rescue mission. A group of insurgents is entrenched in a building with an hostage to negotiate the liberation of their comrades. For this one you have to be quick and make the good decisions. Some of these fanatics have equipped explosive stuffed vests and won't hesitate to detonate their charge if you try to kill them. On the other hand, the less commited to their cause can potentially surrender and you should spare their lives to prevent an escalation of the situation. To make this new objective available you must update your description.ext accordingly to the example file provided in the "samples" folder. For more explanation about this new objective, take a look at this ressource : https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/206162-custom-combat-patrol/?do=findComment&comment=3210865

- [Fixed] The antenna in the "Sabotage comms" objective could appear tilted on non Arma 3 maps. It occured a lot on Takistan and it should now be fixed.

- [Modified] The "Eliminate HVT" objective has been overhauled. While playing this mission I found several occurences where I was sitting at the car from a hill, simply waiting for AI being dumb like the HVT goes first in the vehicle and becomes a perfect target because he waits for his guards. Now when you are detected by the ennemies, the HVT will hide in a building waiting his guards to go for the vehicle and come pick him up. Meanwhile, a sentry group is sent to defend the building where the HVT is hidden. To spice things up a little more, when the HVT is a civilian, he is able to pickup a weapon on the ground, but this behaviour has some restrictions. The HVT will only pickup the weapon of one of his dead guard. If he is hidden when the guard is killed, it won't happen. If he is on his way to his hideout, it will happen only if the weapon is closer from his position than his destination.

Fixed an issue with variables initialized at nil in init.sqf.

Please use the new init.sqf file provided in the samples directory of the mod folder or your mission won't launch.
