Standing Orders become part of the uploaded file when uploading orders for a turn. Look in the Turns Out folder for the game. That is the file that is uploaded. The archives folder contains three files for regular orders, standing orders and temporary ID's. These are used to populate the order writer tools. If you look at the "OCWT2.txt" file, you will see all the orders written in the order writer since the game start. Standing orders will be found in the "SOCWT2.txt" file. Odd turn and Even turn standing orders will be found in separate files. The "TCWT2.txt" file contains the Temporary Ship ID's to be used. That is why next turn you must DELETE the temporary ID's so they won't be used again (why I don't know but it could cause a problem if you don't otherwise why would we be instructed to do so?).
The "OrdsCWT2P####.002" contains all the orders uploaded for Turn 2. These files will accumulate. The Turns In files such as "CWT2P20.003" will also accumulate. You may want to back up all of these folders and files in case you run Central Command from another computer or need to restore after a crash, etc. You can copy the COMPLETE Central Command directory and paste it anywhere else and it will run fine. I do that and use the copy in case a new updated version of CC does NOT work the way intended.
Go ahead and write some orders and then close CC. Of course say YES when asked to archive the orders. Then look at the Archive folder file "OCWT2.txt" and you will see those orders added to the stack (at the bottom for Turn 3). Then go look at the Turns Out folder and you will not see at "OrdsCWT2P####.003" file yet UNLESS you already uploaded your orders. WHEN you upload your orders that file will be created and will include the standing order.
You can always edit and re-upload archived orders until the due date when they are collected by Vern for processing.
