I was interested in playing Aftermath, but I lacked the Silent Threat files. I decided to search to see if there was a way to port FS1 missions to FS2, and read that it was possible to convert them. I managed to convert them, but the game doesn't find them in the tech room, and the game fails to load them. I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas?

If there is a campaign file for a mission, you can't play it from the techroom. Maybe that's it?

If you don't mind posting your files I can take a look.

Well, it's not only Aftermath. I tried Awakenings too and the same thing is happening. I've even tried without the campaign file, they're still not visible. I'm getting this error (from Awakenings, but virtually the same error comes up with Aftermath):

Error: Am2.fs(62):
Error: Required token = [$multi_text], found [$mirror: 0]

File:parse/parselo.cpp

That error pops up about 12 times, with different lines. Look's like it's something in the FS2 mission coding. Also, Aftermath is complaining about not having IFFs. So I went in, looked, and all the ships lack their IFFs... I don't know what happened.

get the most recent build of CVS (April 14 build, right?). that should fix your muli text problem. it might also fix your mission problem.

You're saving it in FSO format.  Change it to save in retail format and you won't have that problem.

I'm confused -- where are you getting that error if you can't see the missions to play them?

Campaigns appear in the campaign room. But if I went into the tech room mission simulator, singular missions would not appear there, even if they had no campaign file that put them into a campaign. But Goober's advice fixed the problem. Thanks Goober!
