help with briefing
« on: 21 Dec 2004, 20:20:37 »
ive made a briefing well its part from a different mission i made im just experientin can anyone verify it cause it wont work with me.
  what i want is after the mission plan and before the objectives a link saying "Forces" wich will take me to a new page with "The forces are big they have tanks and men" said on it with another link back to the plan page
  can anyone correct it and tell me were i went wrong or just were i went wrong. (i read snYpirs tut i didnt really understand any of it and what i did understand went in to this "briefing" wich didnt work) so anoyin. another thing befoe you start questioning how the briefing makes sense its just an experimental thing.

Oh, and make sure you name the file briefing.html and not briefing.sqs (like you did in your zip file).

find attached your briefing all fixed and ready to go.

actually not quite.

you'll notice the link from your 'additional information' page back to the plan section doesn't change the paper background. this is a bug in opf. i would suggest leaving the link out and letting the player use the standard navigation tabs on the ringbinder. that side-steps the bug and keeps everything working smoothly.

Remember, OFP doesn['t actually use HTML< it uses HTML for its own purposes. That spells Trouble, with a capital OFP.

i always say its better to link to extra sections from and back to the notes page because it removes the paper bug. you can still write "See additional information in your notes" in the plan.
