Post by: karajorma on July 11, 2005, 11:22:48 am: You have remembered to change from campaign missions to single missions in the techroom simulator right? If it's showing you the names of the missions from raider wars (or whichever campaigns you've downloaded) then you've forgotten.

If so tell me exactly where you saved it.

BTW you might want to check out the FRED Academy (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,28122.0.html) if you want to learn how to FRED. :)

Post by: karajorma on July 11, 2005, 11:49:02 am: The EA-Minbari war campaign was a demo released with Release 1 of TBP. It's been updated for R3 but it's still just the demo :)

You should save to \data\missions but that's mostly just to keep things tidy as \data is checked as well.

If you used the same filename as one of the existing missions it would be hiding on the campaigns page.

Does the mission still load in FRED? (FRED has been known to corrupt missions before. Fortunately I've gotten quite good at repairing them so if that's the case we can save your work).

Post by: aipz on July 18, 2005, 11:05:53 am: I've made a jumppoint at coordinates (-554.3,702.8,-5184.2) and an event in which a freighter arrives using the jumpgate.

What are the correct origin and location data to generate a warp effect at the jumpgate?

Post by: karajorma on July 26, 2005, 06:18:22 pm: Have you saved the mission in \Data\ rather than \Data\Missions\ by accident? Have you checked that the tech room is looking at single missions rather than campaign ones?
