With one of the last updates, we seem to have changed the core units that used to be under A3_Characters_F_INDEP or A3_Characters_F_OPFOR. now when your sqm is built they all appear to fall under A3_Characters_F now.
If you attempt to load one of these past missions into Eden, you are unable and get a warring about a missing addon:
21:32:45 Missing addons detected:
21:32:45 A3_Characters_F_INDEP
Understand that with the new updates, make things more easy and have all the core units under one single root class, but if you have binarized the sqm with a past Eden save, it makes things more difficult to edit and recover that mission.
Eden needs a way to allow you to remove these units from mission, or easy way to de-binarize the mission file.
