That logo i made: that's a temporary one until i can sharpen the image or get the logo from a screensaver.

Trashman: did you try creating a new pilot? if that doesn't work, use FSO. ;)

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Do tell me if it turns out that your problem was this one. Also what FRED builds you used would be nice too.

K...

I checked. The two missions don't have debriefs at all, so that shouldn't be it...

I used FRED 3.5.5. and FRED 3.5.3 before that...

Trashman, try deleting the actual missions, and renaming the backup missions to "insert mission name.fs2" instead of "insert mission name.bak"  no guarantees but it has solved more than one of my problems in the past with this sort of thing.

Just a precision : try renaming the .bak files only if you can open them with notepad, and only if they contain readable text ;)

2 missions actually..that was a typo...

Wow....now this is strange...

All my Backups files (Backup001 to 009) contain the same mission!

the BAK files of my missions are readable and I tried re-naming them...No luck...

As long as we're on the subject of FRED errors, could someone explain to me this problem?

I open the Team Loadout screen, and see that the Player Entry Delay is set to 138. I say to myself "WTF?" then change it to zero. Testing the mission, I start, and find myself about 2 minutes into the mission (literally, at the start, the mission's gone two minutes). Frustrated, I go back to FRED, and the Delay's back at 138...

Any explanations? Corrections in Notepad doable, or is that impossible with Team Loadout?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

This is a nasty retail bug that was fixed early on with the SCP.

FRED never saves the player entry delay, or if it does, it's set at a garbage value.  Editing it in Notepad should fix it.

IIRC the error could be caused by having more than 130 ships in the ships table. If you're encountering that bug beware. Having too many ships in the table can cause other problems so it might be worth trimming some of the unused ones out.

Hmmmm. Send me a copy of one of them at [email protected] and I'll take a look.

No FREDder should ever have to remake that many missions due to a bug.

BTW don't bother with anything other than the mission file. If the mission makes everything show up a ulysses but still works then the problem with the mission itself is solved :D
