Title: Playing my Mission ...
Post by: Flexion on February 19, 2008, 01:47:43 pm: Hi, I'm new ...

I've got this problem where, when I create my mission, I have to save it ... but I didn't know where. I found freddocs and tried it ... but it just tells me - "File not found" :mad: :mad:

can someone help me out? :)

You may have to create that folder if it doesn't already exist. Make sure your mission's name is under 27 letters long BTW as the limit including the extension is 31 or 32 characters.

Just for clarification, what is saying "File not found"? Is it FRED or Freespace?

Post by: Clawandfang on February 19, 2008, 05:16:57 pm: When you go to the Tech room in Freespace, look under "flight simulator" and then "single mission" (or something to that effect) your mission *should* be there, provided you haven't assigned it to a campaign.

And try to sound more sure of yourself man!

If you're trying to use FRED's "Run" command, don't. That command doesn't work.

Load FS2 manually and test the mission in the Tech Room's mission simulator.
