I don't know what you were trying to achieve by making that mission, but I'm pretty sure you didn't get very far.

[DarthWang]

It won't even work for me

did you paste the mission file over Freespace/data/missions/  ??

if not do that and then go to the mission simulator in fs2.

Didn't work, I got the error I posted above

[colecampbell666]

DW, make sure that you aren't using mods. (other than MVPs)

[Wobble73]

And look for it in the tech room under single missions and not in the campaign room!

[DarthWang]

I did click the "no mod" button on the launcher, and accessed it from the tech room. No go.

[colecampbell666]

The mission goes in \FreeSpace2\data\missions.

Mmk, played it through...

Spoiler:

there are three capships that arrive and get destroyed, plus the fighter that you take out.  Mmk, interesting blast waves, but IDK what else...

[DarthWang]

I put it in the right directory

Ok ok Im gonna start making a new version. And this time, Ill remove the squadron picture, it wasnt good at all. After all, this is just a template.
About the error message, I have no idea, but perhaps it has to do with the coloured text in the briefing. Ill try something.

What exactly are you trying to do with this mission? Be funny? Or is this, like, practice or something? Cause if it is practice, I seriously recommend making missions that make sense.

[Trasher258]

Jeez, do you guys have to be harsh?

Spoiler:

I still have to agree with them on some of their options. I also have a good feeling your going to start yelling at me now... shame.

There are a lot of games where "missions" are called "maps"...

It always irritated me a bit when someone coming into the Descent community used the term "maps;" it kind of implies a two-dimensionality that's the exact opposite of what's desired in that particular game.  Most of the Descent regulars generally called them "levels," since that was the term used in the original singleplayer.  "Mission" is really all that works for FS, considering that the ships themselves are the only real points of reference/import in-game.

[blackhole]

I stabbed anyone who called a descent level a map.

Mostly FPS games.

And RTS games.

[SuperSonic_ht]

Wow, a new excuse for off-topic-ing!

As I said earlier, this just came as a random idea even before I heard of FSO...
Expect real maps from me now...

Geez, no one has a sense of humor anymore...

[Snail]

Geez, no one has a sense of humor anymore...

That was because this wasn't funny, it was just kinda stupid.

[SuperSonic_ht]

Um...ok?
[lets close the discussion please?]

[jr2]

Ooo, shiny!
