I JUST CAN'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 04 Mar 2003, 13:22:00 »
I wanna know, what do I click on exactly to start writing a briefing? Now before you laugh, I'll have you know that I am electronically challenged, so please be patient. :) I think I could write the briefing, I just need to know, how do I get a clean sheet of electronic paper up there for me to start making one?

This is how to make a briefing. Just copy in into a text program and name it briefing. Then put it into your mission folder. Press and hold "shift" while you press "previev" in the editior to see the briefing.





<html><head><title>Briefing</title></head><body>

<h2><a name="Main"></a></h2>
<h6>
Write your notes here
<br></h6>
<hr><p><a name="Plan"></a>
Write your briefing here
</p><hr>


<p><a name="OBJ_1"></a>Objective1
</p><hr>

<p><a name="OBJ_2"></a>Objective2</p><hr>

<p><a name="OBJ_3"></a>Objective3
</p><hr>

<hr><br><h2><p><a name="Debriefing:End1">Title on end1</a></p></h2><br><p>End1 text.</p><br>

<hr><br><h2><p><a name="Debriefing:End2">Title on end2</a></p></h2><br><p>End2 text</p><br>

<br></body></html>


You can also make text that makes you jump around on the map.

Actually, its even easier than that :)

Go to Editors Depot - Tutorials - Getting Started and download the Tutorial Mission.   It has all the extra files you need, like briefing, overview etc.   Just copy them and insert your own text.

There are also tutorials on briefing and overviews in Getting started.

The best way to edit the briefing.htm file is to use a text editor like Notepad or Wordpad.   Don't use html programme like Explorer, it makes things harder in the long run.   Make sure you save the file as briefing.htm and not briefing.htm.txt
