Adding news articles post 3049
Hello, I'm looking to create a mod that will add news articles post 3049.

I have the MW5 Editor.

Where I could add events to the timeline? I'm familiar with other integration tools like that, but would appreciate any help.

Look under Content>Campaign>NewsReel
Add a new row under NewsFeed

Hey, btw, would you know how to add a reel to the Arc loader in the same folder, but it doesn't want to add my news. Obviously it works if I add the news in a current reel, but I'd rather keep them separate. Unless it's not really necessary.

It's easier honestly to update an existing one although if you are looking to make a new asset basically have to make a new newsfeed item and add it to the list. Can't remember off the top of my head what it is called but its in the same folder NewsFeed is in.
Might want to consider consulting this guide https://static.mw5mercs.com/docs/MW5Mercs_Mod_Editor_Guide_(v2.2).pdf
Even though its a bit outdated page 8 summaries adding a new asset.

Yep, very useful guide, albeit very high level. I believe I found the issue, being that I copied NewsFeed_Lore to NewsFeed_Lore_Post3049 but the dataset kept the reference to NewsFeed_Lore.
