Briefing wont work

[punisher]

hi
i have tryed to make my own breifings using templates.And i have editted ones from other peoples missions and when i put it in my own it displays nothing in the editor!

HELP!

[Knut Erik]

Wierd..  :hmm:
Post the briefing here so we can see what is wrong.  
You must hold down "Shift" while you press the "Preview button" in order to see the briefing

Get hold of the tutorial mission from the Ed Depot - Tutes - Getting Started.    Copy and paste the briefing.htm file from there into your own mission folder.    Don't change anything.

Now go into the mission editor and do like Knut Erik said.   The briefing should be there.

Now you can go and edit a file that you know is working

[asmodeus]

are you asking us to make your briefing for you?

I suggest you re-read macguba's post..

Also, what you posted isn't even the html for the breifing, so how could we help you fix it??

Ok i cant
You cant send HTML files on the forum!

when i edit i file even just one word it does not work.
Sugestions!

Have you made it work with the Briefing from the Tutorial Mission (or somewhere else)?

Your comment about being unable to attach .html files to the forum leads me to suspect that you may be editing the file in .html.   This is a mistake, albeit an understandable one.   The briefing.htm file should be edited in a text editor like Notepad.    If you try to edit it in Explorer or something then bad things happen.

yes i have been editing the HTML file with "microsoft word 2000" and have been saving it in the mission folder.
 

[macguba]

Don't use Word.   Use Notepad:

Start Menu/Programs/Accessories

You are correct in putting it in the mission folder.    But, as I keep telling you, make it work using the Tutorial Mission file first.   Once you have got it working, then you can edit the file to your hearts content.
