Title: noob question
Post by: Forbes500 on February 04, 2008, 12:54:00 am
Once upon a time, before I knew what I was doing, I was playing silent threat, came upon a mission that was bugged, so, I did some searching on the forums here & found a thread about a "red alert" flag or something, so I ran "fred2_open_3_6_9.exe -mod fsport, mediavps -fredhtl" as per instructions in the post I found, didnt really get anywhere and never did finish the silent threat campaign.  That was the very fist time I ever even loaded Fred2.
Thats ancient history.
Anyways, now I'm playin around with creating my own missions, but even tho I am running the editor without any mods, just like this "fred2_open_3_6_9.exe -fredhtl"  when I save my missions, they still end up in the fsport directory and never seem to show up in the single mission list, regardless whether I use fsport mod or not in the FS2open launcher.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

P.S. - question #2, fred2_open_3_6_10-20071028T doesnt support the -fredhtl flag, does that mean it supports the HTL w/o flag?

Are you trying to make missions for FSPort?  If not when you go to save change the directory to c:\games\freespace 2\data\missions or change the c:\games\freesapce 2 to whatever your default fs2 directory may be.  If you want them in FSPort then save them to \fsport\data\missions.   

It's not that the 3.6.10 branch doesn't support the feature it's just it no longer needs the flag.

We've gone over to HTL by default. You can use -nohtl to turn it off if you ever need to but I doubt you will.

Thanks a bunch, I was afraid to change the save directory because of the Fred2 walkthrough instructed me not to change the save directory.

Yeah. Back then it was a bad idea.
