Title: FRED 2 missions problem
Post by: osgangstarrr on January 28, 2011, 12:18:27 am

My FRED2 missions aren't showing up in the tech room/single player missions list even though I saved my mission in data/missions.

Please help!

Are you saving them into the /data/missions folder for the mod you have selected, or directly into FreeSpace2/data/missions in the event of no mod?

I'm saving them directly into the FreeSpace2/data/missions (No mod just a custom mission I created with FRED2)

Did you make them part of a campaign or something?

They don't happen to have something additional to their extension, right? They are *.fc2 *.fs2 files and not something else?

Can you run a debug version of FRED2 and post the fred2_open.log (in code tags) showing an open and save of one of the mission files in question?

I think they should be .fs2, not fc2.

Heh. Whoops. I obviously need to sleep some more. Edited post to correct mis-type.

Where directory do you have FS2 installed to and what OS?  Might be sticking them in another directory if fs2 is under program files or my documents.

FIXED, apparently the file name cannot be too long or it won't show up in the single player missions list >.<

I've also encountered that problem, although in my case it would still show up, but just say "file not found" and not launch anything.

Hit Shift+N to bring up mission specs in FRED. Check that the missions are single player and not multiplayer.

edit: Forget that, didn't read.
