Title: Making a (Terran-Vasuden) mission in FRED2, need help.
Post by: Tempast on June 18, 2008, 01:49:16 pm

I'm making a mission but I'm a noob with FRED2 so, I might ask for some help from anyone who readys this.

I might make more about the same storyline.

First of all, how can I get a jump node -_-  I don't see it in the list of ships/cargo/others.

Thats all for now. I'll probably ask ALOT more later.

Craaaap, how do I get cargo ships to hold cargo???

Also, when I click "No Shield System" It wont stay after I click "Okay" T_T Not cool.

The jump node is easily placed via FRED, it's at the end of the ship list. :)

What version are you using?  Sounds like retail without the patch.  Your best bet would be to get FS2_Open and FRED2_Open.

Thanks, I was using my other FRED2 O_O I allso have fred2_open_3_6_10-20071007T Which I just looked in and found it.
Thanks.


Also, I can't find my missions in the tech room T_T I don't remember messing around with it but all I see is two REALLY old untitled missions (BoE types, everyone does it there first time)
But I dunno where the folder to save it all is.
Ayone know?

Please don't hijack other threads when you already have one made. The other thread has been split and merged with this one. Thank you for your continued cooperation. :)

You made this thread, then bumped a two week old thread asking the same exact question within an hour of posting the first time. That's bad.

      missions should be in freespace2/data/missions directory.  (or whatever your game folder is called)
      Make sure you click on "single player" missions when you want to try them out, default is typically campaign missions in the tech room.
      I'm fairly sure it'll still read the basic directory when a mod is in use. But it may not be. You could always add a "test" directory or something and put test/data/missions and have all your new missions in there and do like -mod mediavp -mod test or whatever.
