FRED 2 missions problem
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!

Re: FRED 2 missions problem
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?

 
Re: FRED 2 missions problem
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?

Re: FRED 2 missions problem

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?

Re: FRED 2 missions problem
I think they should be .fs2, not fc2.

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

Re: FRED 2 missions problem
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.

Re: FRED 2 missions problem
FIXED, apparently the file name cannot be too long or it won't show up in the single player missions list >.<

Re: FRED 2 missions problem
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.
