Bleedin' Briefing!
« on: 13 Mar 2004, 15:01:54 »
I need help.

I used the AJ or AA briefing generator, whatever it's called and it seems every time I use it I get the same problem.

If my briefing goes over one page, which is most of the time, the objectives list takes over the second page and shunts the rest of the briefing over to pages three and onwards. When I press the little arrow to let me see the next pages of briefing, I can no longer see the Objectives unless I go to the notes or weapon selection and then come back.

Please help me out with this one. I tried "borrowing" a briefing from another mission but it went horribly, horribly wrong with all my text including, briefing, notes and end text all appearing on the notes page.

I'm pulling my hair out!

Thank you.

It's a typical problem that inhabit those 'softwares' in general... For example Dreamweaver (a real software for web designing) does the same...

It's due to the idiotic 'line handling' (afaik) those programs have so you better go to Ed Depot from where I think you can find the example of notepad created html... It's not at all that hard...

The Tutorial Mission has a nice simple Briefing which you can use as a template.    Just delete the text (take care not to remove any code) and copy and paste in your own text.     Edit it in Notepad or something, not an html editor.
Plenty of reviewed ArmA missions for you to play

Bah, I feel a fool having to go to a tutorial but I suppose I'll have to.
Perhaps I'll ask in the addon Ideas forum if someone can make a new (working) generator. Or are you guys saying its a bug which will effect any one made?
