Hello,
Lately I've been trying to get back into FREDing, and today I was attempting to put together a mini-campaign.
But apparently, due to my lack of FRED prowess, I still cannot see any missions listed in the 'Available missions' window. I've searched around on here, and I've tried the empty-campaign-into-missions-folder fix, but it still hasn't worked. It should also be worth noting that this has been a consistent problem for me throughout multiple installations of FS2 on multiple different computers over the past 10 years. I have never been able to get that damned thing working, and I cannot find any help documentation on the matter.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
EDIT: Turns out you need to have the missions and campaign in their own mod folder, e.g. (C:\Games\Fresspace 2\bleh\data\missions\).
From there, you need to set the FS2 Launcher to the mod (in this case, "bleh").
Go back into Campaign Editor and boom, mission is there.

If FRED is being loaded with a mod, FRED's campaign editor only looks at the "top most" mod's mission folder.
So if you have been saving your missions in FreeSpace2/data/missions and you're using mediavps_2014 as a mod, then FRED only looks at FreeSpace2/mediavps_2014/missions and ignores the other directories.
