Opening Missions up after removing all addon content = fail

[raserisk 12]

I've had this issue for a long time and maybe it's because I'm doing something wrong.

But anyway, this one mission where I have used the "Fast Rope" addon and learned it dosen't work with the undead mod, I removed all the units using that addon and then removed the addon from my files and went to play the mission, and it says I can't use the mission because it's missing deleted content when I removed ALL the content?

Sometimes you have to delete two lines from mission.sqm that still require an addon although you don't use it anymore. Just be careful not to delete "," if its the last addon listed in the array.

Just to expand a bit, addons are listed right at the top of the mission.sqm file in your mission folder. If you have removed all the content, the mission still keeps a record that you, at one time, used that addon. Copy the original mission.sqm somewhere safe first then just open the original mission.sqm in notepad, carefully deleting only the entries at the top that refer to the addons you got rid of, making sure to preserve the format of the file. Save it as mission.sqm, make sure "All Files" type is selected and the encoding is "UTF-8" and you should be able to play/edit it no problem!
