As silly as it sounds, my briefing for a mission has a line on it. God only knows how it got there, I didn't use the line command to connect two things. But apparently the mission thinks I did.

The real problem is, I can't seem to make it go away. If anybody out there can figure out how, that would be much appreciated...

Mission in question: http://www.geocities.com/ngtm1r/C2M5.zip

I tried to take a look at it but the mission crashed FRED every time I tried to open it. The debug build keeps crashing out on me saying

Warning: $LaunchSnd sound index out of range on weapon Subach HL-7.  Must be between 0 and 0.  Forcing to -1.

File:E:\Languages\Visual Studio Projects\Visual C++\fs2_open\code\Weapon\Weapons.cpp
Line: 1607

So I can't test it with that either at the moment. Is it crashing for you too? If not which version of FRED are you using?

[NGTM-1R]

...that's even more crazy. It doesn't crash for me.

I'm using fred2_open_r_03202005.

In wordpad replace

$num_lines: 1
$line_start: 1
$line_end: 2

with

$num_lines: 0

I tried that but still got the crashes.

The Command Briefing for instance had a semi-colon followed by a bunch of boxes (Which VB seems to convert to parapgraphs if I attempt to cut and paste it here)

Spicious is probably correct about the solution. You have two mission briefs where you'd have to do that but it should solve your problem.

[NGTM-1R]

...Something's screwy with the ZIP, I suspect. I'll see what Spicious suggestion does.

a semicolon will commment out the remainder of the line (as far as i can tell, since it does the same for messages)...

[karajorma]

It isn't the semi-colon that worried me as much as the odd line break symbols. They definately didn't belong there.

[NGTM-1R]

I don't think there was a semi-colon in that briefing at all, but I'll check.

I don't know where the problem is... i haven't any problems, it shows In-Game like in FRED.

I use fs2_open_T-20050613 and a FRED from December 2004

EDIT: Or i don't understand the Problem

[karajorma]

Maybe I simply got a slightly corrupted download/extraction. Anyway let's see if the solution works

[NGTM-1R]

Solution...failed.

Now I get an error when I attempt to open the mission in FRED.

I tried redownloading it but just got another corrupt version. Can you try re-uploading it?

[NGTM-1R]

Done.

[karajorma]

I'm still getting the error. Check at the end of the command briefing in notepad for that extra semi-colon between the

Code: [Select]

Still, there are two GTVA destroyer battlegroups insystem, plus the VSDF. We can handle it.", -1)

and

Code: [Select]

$end_multi_text

lines.

[NGTM-1R]

Huh...I wonder how that got there...we'll see what it does now.

EDIT: It works!

[karajorma]

Glad to hear that
