No, that's not correct.  The beam-free-all-by-default mission flag applies to all ships, whether or not they are present at mission start.

Thanks. I have fixed BOTH problems.

[supernova_989]

How do you get music to play during missions? Because I made an intense battle scene and there's no music. How can you get it to play?

[Goober5000]

This can also be found in the walkthrough.

In the Mission Specs dialog, there is a drop-down menu to select the in-game music.

Or, as my brain calls it; "Shift-N, Click, Select, Click, OK."


But seriously, do the walkthrough... You're being receptive and all with our comments, and we're glad to help and all, but you'll find that the walkthrough covers everything you'll need and more...

That makes me feel better.  I didn't feel like going back through all of MT's Missions to fix that, wondering the entire time how i missed it when i was testing.

Supernova, you're probably one of the better n00bs around here. You ask questions and don't flame us when we answer, and you're not the bad type of persistent either.

Just remember (I'm sure you already know) that everyone here is willing to help, as long as you just give us a chance to.

I belive the corect term is newbie

[aldo_14]

The proper term is 'new member'.  I ****ing hate the work 'newbie' and all it's alphanumeric derivatives.  It's simple; either people are nice, or twats - doesn't matter how new or old they are to a particular game or community.

[Hippo]

Ooh! Analogies!


Newbie is to n00b, as Supernova_989 is to Cobra.

[pecenipicek]

thanks hippo for teh help...


where am in comparison to cobra&supernova_989?

[aldo_14]

Look left then a wee bit up.

[Hippo]

Scary how i understood that...

[pecenipicek]

meh i know that... it means im neither a newb or a n00b...

[supernova_989]

Another question ( i know it is in the walkthrough, but i dont get it.)

how do you make Huge cruiser ships arrive?

[pecenipicek]

arrival cue?
or if you mean that green warp thingie?(sorry it looks green to me... i never use it much cause its used to show that a ship appeared through a Knossos. i think)
Ship editor->Misc.->Special Warp

[Trivial Psychic]

Select your ship, place it on the grid, then cue its arrival either off another event or after a certain mission time.

[supernova_989]

Hehe duh:blah:  it was on hide cues the whole time:lol:

[pecenipicek]

and you call me a n00b...... *sigh.... loads up fred, starts fredding* we shall see what you have to say to this.

[Hippo]

Yeah, thats the most unnesscessary button... Especially since you couldn't possibly do something on the grid while ghanging ship stats (it it even possible?)...
