I have this problem:
i wanted to test some red-alert missions for Steady and tried to create a minicampaign with them.....
The available mission box is empty!I can't add missions.I initially thought the number of missions in data/missions was too high (with The Southern Cross and Steadfast )and I reduced it to 20.Still nothing.I'm sure it's something about the SCP.

Load up an existing campaign, then choose to make a new one. This sort of 'refreshes' the Campaign Editor's memory, allowing it to display your missions.

There may be a fix for this in newer versions of FREDOpen, I don't know.

[Mobius]

I tried it and no mission is present.When I try to load the fc2 file...
"can't open file"
Then FRED crashes.

What version of FRED are you using. I thought this one had been fixed!

EDIT : Hmmmm on testing the campaign editor appears to have been badly broken at some point after RC 6. I'll look into it today.

[Mobius]

FRED RC5.Because I need the speech,I never moved to RC6.I asked you if I could use FS Open RC5 with FRED RC6, and you said that it was possible,but I had no time to try it.

How we can create campaigns?Can I do it with the old FRED 2 or it won't work with FS Open misisions?

[karajorma]

Use the debug build. It appears to be immune. I simply couldn't get it to crash out cause of this error.

Of course you'll need to have pristine tables before the debug build will work but that's a good habit anyway.

FRED crashes when I try to load the created campaign without missions.
Pristine?

i.e no errors. If you've added mods in a sloppy fashion you'll never get the tables to work in debug mode. However this is something you should fix.

The debug build crashes? That sounds like a different error.

[Mobius]

UPDATE:FRED 3.6.7 has the same problem of 3.6.9.
Debug builds crash when I select Campaign editor.

[Mobius]

I learned a new word!
The build was...pristine...it wasn't even running in fredhtl mode(only the normal 3.6.9 build)!

[karajorma]

It's not the build that has to be clean. It's your mod.

[Mobius]

If I run the Campaign editor with FRED without any mods installed,FRED crashes when I select Campaign editor.
I said,FRED wasn't in fredhtl mode.It shouldn't have mods doing this way.

[karajorma]

And as I said do that with the debug build. I'm yet to get that to crash even once.

[Mobius]

The debug crashes isntantly when I choose Campaign editor,I have posted this already.

[karajorma]

Use RC7.

There are two bugs in the campaign editor in RC5. The first one causes a random crash with release builds. The other causes a crash with either build if the mission list is empty.

The second error should be fixed in RC5. It's definitely fixed in RC7. The other is still there.

[Mobius]

Okay...
Another question,but please make it a Yes or No one:
I'll DL this RC7 build,but is it compatible with FS Open RC5?

[karajorma]

No idea. Probably.

Campaigns should be though so if worst comes to worst you can always use it just to build the campaign.

[Mobius]

I moved to the RC7 thread,I hope that Taylor can tell me if its compatible or not...
I wonder if I can create an fc2 with notepad....

Whats wrong switching entirely to RC7?

Simply read what Iwrote above,dood!
