go look inside your mission folder and make sure it is called:

yourscript.sqs

And not

yourscript.sqs.txt

Presuming you have file exrtensions switched on in your system.

no i have tried that, im running windows xp proff

it says some stuff underneath in grey?

could that be what u mean?

[ThEoNaNdOnLy]

all it says underneath is text document and the 1kb ? but the title is hello.sqs

Try this:

From any folder window, go to....Tools Menu.......Folder Options.

On the View Tab look for ......Hide file extensions for known file types.......if it is checked.......uncheck it.

Press Apply then Ok
Then recheck what your file is called

YAY thanx m8 ur a good man!

that was the problem i suppose coz the script worked lol


btw when it said unknown operator what did it mean? was that something wrong with the script of the init?

I don't know about your error message, you haven't shown it........but I imagine is is a prob;em with the script syntax.
