Script not found?

[beefholishness]

I've followed instructions to the letter on inserting scripts into a mission-and the game continually tells me it can't find the script I've told it to execute.  I've tried putting it in my general missions folder and my specific mission folder, I've copied and pasted the name to make sure that I didn't mistype, and it still tells me that it can't be found.  Can anyone give me a hand?  If I can't get this stuff to run, I'm gonna have to scrap a mission I've been working on.

p.s.-just reformatted my computer, don't know if that may have something to do with it.

Make sure your script is called:

whateveryoucalledit.sqs

and not


whateveryoucalledit.sqs.txt

or


whateveryoucalledit.txt

Tell windows not to hide file extensions.

D'oh.  Argh... embarrassing.  Windows defaulted to not showing the extension after the fresh reinstall, and I hadn't caught it yet.  My script was named "toughunit.sqs.txt" (not getting me very far, eh?)

Thanks Planck

Don't worry.    That is the commonest and most famous cockup.   Show me somebody who claims it hasn't happened to him and I'll show you a liar liar pants inflame true.

Should I be worried that I'm audibly laughing at blatant OFP editor jokes?

i know it's not on topic, but since we got it figured out i may as well say that i found it quite funny too.

hell, my brother found it funny, and he doesn't even play OFP.

indeed. we all live and learn.

back on topic please people, assuming there's anything more to say...

Sorry, I've never used a forum with a "solved" buttin before, I keep forgetting to use it.
