Title: Ship and Weapon Selection Problems
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 19, 2006, 11:43:52 am

I have a single mission, which I've put as the first in a campaign, yet when I start it as such, there are no ships or weapons available in the loadout screen, despite them being available when I start it as a single mission, and despite me ticking every box in the initial loadout section of the campaign editor.

Ideas?

Try selecting 'reset' from the loadout screen.

I am seeing the same issue -- missions in which the weapons selection is fine when played as a single mission,  but some weapons don't show up at all when the identical mission is played as part of a campaign.  Resetting loadout etc doesn't help.

You need to specify allowed loadouts in the campaign editor.

Petrach seems to be saying that he has.

I'm going to run a test in a sec. Which version of FRED are you guys using?

Oh, whoops.  I misread that as the initial loadout dialog in FRED (the mission editor).

In that case I don't know.  Could you attach your campaign file?

Should I put this on Mantis, anyway?

Actually, ignore that.
It seems to be just that 1 mission that causes the problem. I've tried setting the other missions as the first one in the campaign, and they've all been fine.
So I don't know what the problem is with that one.

It must be the filename.
If I call the mission "Bev01", then the ships and weapons don't appear. If I call it "Bev01a", then they do.

Very, very, odd.

Definitely Mantis that.

I will.
Although I'm not so sure about it being the mission filename now. I think it might be the campaign filename, rather than the mission. Strange.
