Oh noes, feature request for FRED! (Import Background)
Basically, I'd like to be able to import a background from one mission to another via FRED, in preference to having to either laboriously copy it from one mission to another using two instances of the program and switching back and forth, notepad (which has consistantly caused errors in the mission file which I must then hunt down and correct), or using a base mission with the background and then building all missions that use that particular background from it.

So, pretty please? I'll understand if it's not feasible...

Well if you grab a recent FRED build, I think you'll get just that. ;) Import background has been in FRED for the past month or two.

Re: Oh noes, feature request for FRED! (Import Background)
Well, Personally, making Backgrounds is a one of the second heated thing by me in Fred, (making failures debrief is the first one and In-game chat is the third).

But, this should improve the things, but its also make too generics backgrounds, for example, What happend if everyone uses the LS pre-make Nebulas Brackgrounds per system?

Re: Oh noes, feature request for FRED! (Import Background)
Well, no, Ingame chat is pretty easy, my great problem is the debrief... AWOL and Failed debrief especially :P

When I making a mission I do in this faces:

1) Background (I made do it myself, use a LS pre-made mission background, or use the LS pre-made and edit it)
2) Add Ships and their orders.
3) Make Waypoints and Jump Nodes
4) First Run to check if the ships do what their must do.
5) Edit :P (always something is worng).
6;9)Steps 4 and 5 again and again :P
10) Make directives
11) Check run
12) Edit :P
13) Briefing.
14) In Game Chat.
15) Check run
16) Edit
17) afer a dew days... make the debrief and finish the mission xD.

Just to know, the Import feacture does not import LS nebulas.

It does for me. Are you sure you have a proper stars.tbl for those nebulae? And if you do, are you calling FRED with the proper mod command line to tell it where they are located?

Re: Oh noes, feature request for FRED! (Import Background)
oh, you right, the problem is, the LS nebulas are in Mediavps, and I working which a mod, the mod have the starts.tbl, so I can see the in the background menu, but the import does not import it, so I have moved the LS nebulas vps to the mod folder and works now, thanxs.
