Making a campaign..issues
I think I'm going crazy.. I have to ask a few questions here since I keep getting STRANGE errors when testing my full* campaign



First, the red-alert doesn't seem to trigger properly.
I must be crazy, but ships in both missions (Alpha wing) have a red-alert carry status and mission one red-alerts to mission 2 (which is set as a red-alert mission)
But the ships don't carry over - I end up with fulll hull, differnt weapons and such.. gah.

Secondly, when making a campaign, do I have to put specific conditions on each brach (setting the TRUE to is-previous-goal-true) or will FRED do it automaticly? As it seems that I cna continue on to hte next mission even if I fail EVERYTHING.

By that I mean if my Primary Objective in mission 05 is to destroy The NTD Uhuru, do I have to put this:
+ is-previous-goal-true
     - mission05.fs2
     - destroyUhuru

in the branching for mission 06????
Nobody dies as a virgin - the life ****s us all!

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!

Re: Making a campaign..issues
I had such problems with my red alerts but if I remember well I resolved them....

As for the branches,there should always be a repeat mission one,set as "true" after the "is-goal-true-delay" condition. There's some kind of precedence FRED will consider as valid.

Re: Making a campaign..issues
If you don't include a repeat mission link then you simply go to the next mission because you haven't given FS2 any instructions on what to do if you haven't completed the goal.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
