Title: I suck at Fred2
Post by: Speshal on November 30, 2006, 08:30:42 am

So I've got Fred2 Open 3.6.9 and I think all the latest FS2 SCP hoojamawhatsits and after completing Derelict I thought I'd give fredding a go, even just to see how far I could get before I messed up.  Apparently not very far :s

I'm doing the quickstart barebones mission that involved simply adding a mara to destroy.  I've followed the tutorial completely but when I try and run the mission in the simulator I get about six messages that look similar to the first one, here -

Error: Untitled.fs2(26):
Error: Required token = [#Command Briefing] or [#Briefing], found [$AI Profile: FS2 RETAIL] .

File:parse/parselo.cpp
Line: 551
[This filename points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable]

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

If I press okay to the popup it cycles through all the messages until it cuts back to the flight deck but if I cancel it crashes out of it to my desktop.

I've read through karajorma's oracle and other docs but I can't seem to find anything that'll help a noobie out.

You've got FRED2_Open 3.6.9 but have you got FS2 3.6.9?

That error is caused by trying to run a mission from a modern version of FRED on an older version of FS2. Run the launcher and check what you're actually running.
