Title: Stupid errors...please help
Post by: EAD_Agamemnon on January 29, 2005, 06:12:27 pm
Okay, FINALLY got a weapons change to stick (altered an existing weapon thats never used), and now the campaign is buggy.

Went to campaign editor...
In initial status allowed my new weapon to be available and set how many are available in the missions...
Now I'm in Mission3 where the ICENI escapes and you have to kill 2 NTF cruisers...I kill them...I exit...all objectives are met...but I get a FAILED MISSION...
And the campaign editor, which all I changed was initial available loadouts, is giving me a bunch of errors:

Multiple branching loop error from mission TSM-104.fst
Edit campaign for "at most" 1 loop for each mission.
(Says this for mission TSM-105 as well)

Then these:
 
Mission "SM1-10" last branch isn't set to true.

Mission "SM3-05" last branch isn't set to true.

I'm a little mystified about this one. I presume you get the victory debreifing but the campaign says you've failed, right? Could you post a link to the campaign file? (I'll need the tables too actually).

You didn't do anything wrong here. FRED2 hates loops and always thinks that you've done something wrong whenever a mission includes them.

I am unable to post a link to anything, as I have nothing to upload to. Changes I made to the tables are not the issue, as the problem is with the campaign itself. I have saved opened and saved making no alterations to the campaign, save making a new weapon available, and the errors are related to how a mission ties in to another. The only way I can get the campaign file to you would be email.

I was thinking just to make the 'loops' part of the campaign itself, and not alternative route (as I always do them anyway). I did this once with SM1-10 by just by removing the link between it and SM2-1 and the error for sm1-10 disappeared. If I can get help on how to link these together this will probably eliminate part of my problem.

YOu link missions by dragging and dropping one on top of the other.

Personally I think it would be quicker to just start again from scratch. Adding new weapons in the team loadout should take about 20 seconds :D

It would take me much longer to explain how to use the campaign editor if you don't know FRED that well.  :)
