Intro won't work...
« on: 19 Apr 2003, 23:04:57 »
 I have a mission and an intro built.  I have not done a win or lose scene as of yet.  I have merged my intro and mission.  After exporting and going into single player, I see the overview, the briefing, but I do not get the intro.  It goes straight from the briefing to the mission.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I have searched, but cannot find the answer.

The Intro should come before the Briefing.

Go back to the mission editor and make sure the Intro works correctly.    If it doesn't, and you can't work out why, tell us what happens when you click on Preview.

Remember to delete the old .pbo before you re-export to single missions.

Thanks for the reply macguba.  I went back to the drawing board and decided to start off basic rather than try to finish my mission itself.

I made a very simple intro with a very basic win & lose scene along with a simple mission.  They all tested fine in the editor.  I then exported it to single missions.  When I played it, the intro did work, as did the win scene.  The only problem this time is the lose scene did not play.

If you have the time, I have attached a zip file with this basic mission.  Maybe you can tell me what I did wrong.  I am not really worried with fancy camera angles and frills at this point in time.  I just want to make certain I know how to make the intros/mission/win/lose scenes work properly.

I did notice a different file name after exporting this test mission so I was obviously doing something wrong in regard to my original question, "Intro won't work...".  I will have to go back and look at it carefully.  First, I need to make sure I understand the basics.

Thanks for any help you or anyone can give me.

Your mission does not appear to have a trigger type loose.   (End#1, End#2 etc all give the win Outro.)    So your loose Outro can never play.

lose and loose are not the same!

Thanks sir.  I think I have it going now.  Need to make a few tweaks, but I should have it going by 21:00 EST.   Might have to lose the airdrop that I have in the mission.  It seems that occasionally, they drift up instead of down.   :o

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.    ;)
