I was just making a mission in FRED2 (3.14 RC7), with the BP2 (WiH p1) mod; everything seemed to be fine.

I went to save it, and...


Failed attempting to reload mission after saving.  Report this bug now!

Any idea what the deal is? I had just started the mission, and I entered in some basic Mission Specs, but that's it. No idea what the problem is. I still can't open the mission file.

[General Battuta]

Post the mission as a text file (you might have used a semicolon somewhere)

[SaltyWaffles]

Yup, looks like it was a semicolon. I had one in the FRED-Designer notes box. I didn't think it would be an issue there, but it seems I was completely wrong about that.

Thanks!

[General Battuta]

Any semicolon anywhere in the mission file will break it.

[Droid803]

The semicolon key should really be disabled for FRED, because all it does is break things.

Buts...I LIKES me semicolons!

Come to think of it, it's pretty much a 'Big Red Button -- Do NOT Press, or ELSE!!!' in functional form. Except for the red part. It really should be red.

[Droid803]

Or maybe the editors in FRED should automatically convert ; to $semicolon (or w/e the alternate semicolon is)

[General Battuta]

Some of them do (message editor I think does)

[karajorma]

Message editor does (I know cause I fixed that one) but I don't recall if I fixed others.

[Apollo]

Message editor does (I know cause I fixed that one) but I don't recall if I fixed others.

I think the briefing one does too, because I remember that it always converted my semicolons to $semicolon. I always wondered why.

[karajorma]

Yeah, I can't remember offhand how I fixed it, I thought I did it at the source but it appears that mission notes does things a different way.
