Rather simple question
« on: 21 Feb 2003, 09:10:17 »
I have a complete mission (that I'm rather proud of, considering it's my first for this game), and I'm trying to export it to a .pbo (or whatever that format is) file, but when I then try to run it via the Singleplayer selection screen, its title (in the list) shows up as Escape.Abel.something (basically the same as the name of the .pbo file). The overview shows up fine, but when I run the mission at the top of the plan clipboard thingy it says something like _cur_sp instead of the mission title (when I run it in the editor it correctly shows up as "Escape from Malden", but after exporting it has that _cur_sp thingy). So how do I fix these? It seems there is a title field in every file in this game... the overview has a title, there is a way to enter a title in the editor, the briefing... where did I forget to put a title?

Ah ha! This niggly little bug. It's gets us all when we're first starting out ;)

In the mission editor, there is a section called the "intelligence" section. It's where you can set the time of day, the weather etc. (To get into it click on the cloud/sun and time of day).

In there you'll see a field for a title, and for a mission description. If you enter your title into there, the .pbo name should be that, as well as the title of the briefing... ;)

and the mission breifing is for multiplayer. Remember that you have to delete the mission before you can export it to singleplayer again ;)

Only 1 day old, eh? Well:

I set the title, but I didn't know I had to delete the old SP mission file. It shows up fine now, thanks for the help. And yes, I feel very welcomed now :)
