I downloaded VPview, opened the missions in FRED2 it only showed me one green dot in the center (GTF-Ulysses).

You're on a blank mission file - you need to open the ASW missions.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

You also need to set ASW1 as your active mod in the launcher. And you may want to check "Show ship models" in the "View" menu.

'ImOnlyHereToAsk', That's the best name I've seen. Definitely up there with 'Belisarius'.

I double clicked on ASW missions, all of them lead me to blank mission file.

I did that as well, nothing new.

I only made myself clear.

[General Battuta]

Once you're in FRED, please go to the 'open' dialogue and select one of the ASW missions - these should be .fs2 files.

[ImOnlyHereToAsk]

I'm not sure if what i did was right, I extracted the mission to "dir" to my desktop, opened it with FRED, it gave a message saying 'Unable to read file'  I also tried opening the mission itself by double clicking on it, it loaded the blank page. =|

[General Battuta]

Hrm. What was the name of the mission, and what is the file suffix (i.e. .doc, .fs2, whatever) on it? Try moving it to /FreeSpace2/ASW/data/missions

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Oh yeah, that... That's a known issue, right?
In order to edit a mission, you need to open FRED first, then File -> Open, select your mission. Just double-clicking a mission file in Explorer or using Open With will indeed give you a blank mission file.

"Realm the guardians" The first mission, and its suffix is .fs2 and it was already there. Btw 'Unable to load file' not 'Unable to read file' -my bad-.

Idk whether I'm allowed to post pictures on here so I only put links, I'm already annoying enough by my 'Noobish questions.
So this what happens exactly, I go to the file, I double click it, it leads me to the blank mission file.

I did try that, it gave me 'unable to load file'

[General Battuta]

You need to extract the file from the VPs using the 'extract' command.

I've already done that, extract to dir (VPview).

Move the mission file to ASW/data/missions

The Same thing sadly

[General Battuta]

You're opening FRED by clicking on a FRED executable in your FreeSpace 2 folder, then using the 'open' dialogue under 'file' in FRED?

[ImOnlyHereToAsk]

Yeah, I open FRED2 then I chose file,open then the selected mission, which is unable to load.   

[General Battuta]

Are you launching a 3.6.12 FRED executable with ASW selected as your mod in the launcher?

You cannot use FRED.exe, you must use a 3.6.12 version.

  SIR! You're a genius! Now I see where was my mistake! I really appreciate your help.
Sorry for wasting your time.
