I created a basic scenario/campaign in FRED2, but after saving it i can't see it in the FS2 campaigns list.  I think I might be saving it in the right spot (i have it in data/missions i believe, and in a few other places).  Where shoudl I be saving it?  If thats not the problem, what is?  I'm very new to this, if that wasn't readily apparent

Thanks

Meh, didn't read your post properly, one sec

How have you done the campaign, is it a set of seperate missions?

No no, nothign that crazy.  I just basically made a map with one terran fighter against one mara, just to see if i could get them to work, then I'd play with crazier missions and maybe campaigns if I foudn time.  I just don't know where to put it or what else I have to do to access it.

well its prolly in the tech room-mission simulator, unless you put it into a campaign

[phreak]

try going into the techroom and select mission simulator up at the top

brilliant.  does this differ in any way from what I would do with downloaded campaigns?

[redsniper]

downloaded campaigns will either have a bunch of missions and an .fc2 file or it will all be in a .vp file. With the former, put the missions and .fc2 in you data/missions folder and select the campaign from the campaign select screen. With the latter, just put the .vp in your main FS2 directory (Games/Freespace2). and...

now someone else do the speech.

Yep. Downloaded campaigns will have a .fc2 file, which is the file FS uses to string the missions together. If you DL a campaign, put the mission files and the fc2 into data\missions, then open up FS2, select the campaign from the campaign room, and run it from the main room.

Perfect. A complete FRED newbie. Just what I'm looking for.

Is this something that might interest you SadbutTrue? I want some opinions from the new guys on it.

I suspect he might have beem. The first mission in the walkthrough is a terran fighter vs a Mara

Then it moves on the more complicated stuff.

Of course I did it so long ago I'm surprised I remember

at least you won't haved to hand-out the "read the walkthrough" line.
