You could just open the mission file in a text editor and remove all lines referring to Leo wing.

How i can add Ship Name grafics?

First, you need to create a nameplate texture (unless you want to use a nameplate that is part of the mediavps or another mod). Nameplate textures are generally 512x64 large, and consist of the name of the ship on a transparent background. They should be saved as DDS (Programs like paint.net can do that), or if you can't do that, png. Then you need to place them in your mods' data\maps directory.

In order to apply them to a ship, you need to open the mission, double-click on the ship, click on the "Texture replacement" button, scroll down to the "nameplate" texture, and enter the name of your new nameplate texture (without the file extension) in the "new Texture" field.

I cannot see this texture, what name has an orion destroyer?


Next Problem is with the mission objectiv.

Secondary Goals. I want in the end that GTD Hope hull don't falls under 50% - is hull over 50% sec. goal has to be true, but if i start the mission the goal is false after one second.

What is my fault?

You've used Percent-ships-destroyed not hits-left. The former is used if you want to check if 50% of a wing is destroyed, etc. The latter is the one that checks if a single ship is down to less than 50%. So what you want instead of the NOT SEXP is a

>
-Hits-left
--GTD Hope
-50

Nameplates: http://www.sectorgame.com/goober/nameplates.html (found this article by searching the wiki for "nameplates", and then following a link on the page about "Texture Replacement")

Ingame voices: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Messages#Wave_file for how to set it up

I think mission-specific voices go in data/voice/special

Hi!

Thanks. I have now names for alle ships, cause i found the GIMP Tutorial.

ogg and wav files works now.

Only adding the Orion templates fails. Something seems to be wrong with the pcx file... but i cannot fiind the error. i used the oriontemplate from Goober.

And adding names to GTI arcadia and vassudan ships will not work....

That's because those ships are not using nameplates, and never have.

Also, what do you mean by "do not work"? Could you be a bit more specific?

I made a PSD nameplate for my Orion destroyer, with my speific name. But in FRED it is not shown. It seems, that the file is wrong or has an error... but i cannot find it.

Adding one of goobers names works fine, but i need other names.

You didn't try to specify it in FRED as PSD, did you?  Read the nameplate tutorial again -- it needs to be converted to 8-bit PCX.  (Or you could also convert it to one of the formats that FSO recognizes, such as PNG or DDS.)
