Ok I'm having soem weird trouble with loading my missions in the tech room. Specifically (and only) 3 particular missions I have done for the FSPort. The check out in Fred and they are in Data/missions, yet they just don't show up in the tech room.

Help me out peeps

Kind of stupid, but I had this problem once when converting some Silent Threat missions. I had accidentily put them in Freespace/data/missions instead of Freespace2/data/missions.

[Knight Templar]

haven't done that but i have the same problem.

[Galemp]

Do you have so many missions, you have to scroll down to get to them?

[Knight Templar]

Ine the windows file yes.. , In FS, no. I have like 5 in FS.

They're not flagged as Mulitplayer, are they?  They won't show up in the single missions menu if they are.  

Also, if Alpha 1 has any illegal flags attached to him, it won't show up.

Huh? What does that mean?

[Solatar]

Doesn't that mean like "cruiser" "corvette" and anything other than "fighter" and "bomber"? Or am I making an ass out of myself?

Thank you sir. That would be my error.


How do i make them the same as ST mission (They were Multi after I ported them) and still be able to fly them in single player?

[diamondgeezer]

Er... do you not have to have two copies? One flagged single and the other flagged multi, I believe... of course, that's if I understood that last post right...

I think you can change the mission type to "11" in the mission file directly to do this, but I have never tried it myself.

I have. It works fine. Simply open the file in notepad and do as the man says

Muchas Gracias Senoritas

Edit: Err... Mission type?

"protect-ship", for example.  Not allowed to have that on a player ship. (Although one can have beam-protect-ship, oddly enough...)

[karajorma]

and having it turned on will prevent the mission from showing up? I could understand the mission not working but for it to not show up is a bit of a suprise.
