The E:
None of those criticisms can be addressed by using more fade-out sexps.

Indeed. It needs more than just dialogue, mission briefings, command briefs, debriefs and fiction viewer, as well as FMV cutscenes.
In many cases, a design document is required.
Despite the shortcomings, is it okay for me to make campaigns and mods further to improve myself?

Absolutely! Keep your projects small and manageable while you build up your skill set, and listen to the feedback you receive. It's fine to have grand ideas for the ultimate mod with all the latest bells and whistles, but it takes a lot of practice to build up the experience needed for that eventual project. These smaller projects may be the best way to do that.
I think "fun" may be that hardest, most ethereal aspect. I'm sure I could learn to FRED and maybe even code, but I don't think I could come up with an original mission, let alone story or campaign, that is "fun".
Colonol Dekker:
At this point I want you to finish the Fred tutorial mission. Then make a SINGLE mission that has no mundanity.
If you follow the Fred tutorial this should pose zero problem.

I am following, but it would be better if this Fred tutorial is to be improved, with maximal uses of the MediaVPs to take advantage of the features that came with FSOpen.
I am working on a Fred tutorial mission. Then I'll make another one.
If I finish, where should I post?
