Alright. I saved the mission... and i know I'm earning a reputation of being a whiny little noob. But i have another error message that i Can't understand.
Error: Couldn't open mission 'Lost in Space2.fs2'
File:C:\projects\freespace2\code\Mission\MissionParse.cpp
Line: 3761
Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
FS2.exe 005e4889()
kernel32.dll 7c816fd7()
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats after saving my mission from the .bak file
Is this mission at all recoverable? Or will i have to start over?
-
You can very likely recover it, but you'll have to do some editing in Notepad. FRED has a few bugs when saving missions.
What did you do right before you saved it?

I think i was doing some spell cheecking and icon making in the briefing editor.

Look and see if there is an earlier backup. It keeps 9 of them. Try that one.

I'd like to take a look at the corrupt version if you don't mind. First I'm pretty sure I can figure out what's wrong with it and second I'd like to fix FRED so it doesn't do it again.
If you can post both the corrupt and last working versions it probably won't take long either.
-
Of course. Where can i send it to you? found out how
Thanks again in advance

Fixored.
It will still complain that the secondary goal is incorrect because you've shoehorned a when SEXP into the Mission Objective. You don't need to add one. It's implied. If you notice, your primary goals don't have one.
BTW you have a very bad habit of not naming all your events. You really ought to lose that as quickly as possible. It makes a mission much harder to read, especially if you start using is-event-true SEXPs. Same goes for not naming goals (which I suspect was the cause of this particular problem).

Thanks! Ill get it as soon as i can. I'm usually not aloud no the computer monday-thursday because of school(I log on via school computer)
BTW, out of curiousity, who else DL'ed that mission? i ser 1 person already tried the fixed version.
Anyway, ill download the Fixed version friday(Sooner if dad lets me on the home computer)

More strangely why did 4 people grab the corrupt version? :lol:
-
By the way, what was it that caused the error? I'd like to know so i can avoid doing it again.
EDIT: I peeked into the mission objective editor and found why. Thanks again!
