The mission still works for me. Can you post your latest FRED2_Open.log for me? And does FRED open the mission file I mentioned in the post above?

[mightyjoe83]

here is my latest fred_2 file and yes the tutorial mission opened with notepad.

I'm really at a loss as to what is causing this.

Can you try this build instead. You'll need to have 7zip or something similar installed to extract it.

[mightyjoe83]

I tried using the builds but unfortunately I couldn't open them I kept getting an error message. oh and just to let you know, I can run the mission in the game, however the trouble I am having is in Mission designer, I can't open my saved file. Maybe its my computer thats incompatible i don't know.

Hello fellow Modders,

  I need some assistance, Im having an issue with fred Mission designer, I currently following the full walkthrough tutorial on creating a Mission. Everything was going fine until i got up to the part where I have to add four Heavy raiders to the mission. Now I can't Open the saved File so I can finish creating the mission. everytime I try to open the saved file in Mission designer, It crashes and a message box comes up saying FRED_2 Open has stopped working. I checked to see if the mission would actually work in game and it does work fine, but I can't open the saved file in Mission designer to finish putting the mission together. Do I need to install freespace in order for it to work properly? I don't know what to do. Im at a loss any help would be greatly appreciated.

attached are the files relatied to this issue.

When you say you get an error message but don't actually post what the error message is, you rob me of the most vital clue possible when it comes to solving the problem.

Posting the same tech help thread on two boards is a very bad idea. Which one do you want me to close?

[mightyjoe83]

you can close this one sorry about that Im new to this

[karajorma]

I'll just merge them.

Anyway, what was that error message?

[mightyjoe83]

here they are I save them as image files so you can see exactly what they say I hope this helps.

Did you put the files in your Diaspora folder before running them?

[mightyjoe83]

yes I did they open fine now However I am still having the issue with this FRED_2 open not working. Do I need to download and install Freespace or something?

Do I need to download and install Freespace or something?

No, everything is standalone.

[mightyjoe83]

I don't understand why Im having this issue with Mission Designer

[mightyjoe83]

How do I fix this issue so I can creat my own missions?

[karajorma]

yes I did they open fine now However I am still having the issue with this FRED_2 open not working. Do I need to download and install Freespace or something?

The error message I'm seeing from those new builds is consistent with them not being in your Diaspora folder. I believe I included a new debug version, can you please run that and post the log since I'm still not convinced you've actually installed those builds to the right place.

[mightyjoe83]

I did Install the files to the Diaspora Folder, here is the FRED_2 open Log file

I've got not idea what to suggest then. I think you'll have to reinstall cause something is corrupt with your install but your actual VPs look fine.

[mightyjoe83]

OK one other question for you, should I adjust my settings on my Operating system settings on my lap top would that help if so, what setting on my OS would I have to adjust?
