HomeCell=98

The value is a waypoint number, not a cell number. It names an entry of the map’s [Waypoints] section, and a single-player mission opens with the view centered on that waypoint’s cell. All four view bookmarks start at the same cell, so pressing one before storing a position returns there. The default, 98, is the number the game sets aside for the home waypoint.

If the map places no waypoint with this number, the engine places it at the center of the playfield and opens the view there.

When a mission starts with global flag 0 set, the view opens on AltHomeCell and this key is not used.

In skirmish and multiplayer games, the view opens over the player’s own starting objects, and this key does not move it.
