Briefing wont show before mission

[SSgt Decker 4]

Hey I need help, my briefing used to show before the mission started and for some reason now it only shows after the mission starts? Anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it? :confused:

Use init.sqs to show the briefing. Init.sqf is very unreliable in getting things done in time for the briefing screen.

That didn't help, idk what happened except that this started after i tried adding a picture in the briefing.

Post your init.sqf and briefing.sqf :)

Is your image size 2^ x 2^?

No thats not the problem though, I took the picture out but the briefing is still not showing up? I also made a new mission and put the briefing/init in and it worked on that map. :confused:

tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Rescue our Informant before it's too late, or if he gets killed, meet the Guerilla fighter, Boris, and learn the location of the Russian General.", "Rescue Igor/Meet Boris", "Igor/Boris"];

You can't use ' :) Better...You can't use this ' with this syntax ;)

I can't write the right syntax now :) I'll write it later ;)

Did you put the whole code into init.sqs or did you just exec it there?

Just the exec.

Jake34, please check if you have a waitUntil or sleep in your init.sqf before you execute execVM "briefing.sqf".

waitUntil and sleep will delay further execution of init.sqf until the mission has started.

I dont have any of that in there.

Well, then nobody can help you without posting more information.

Briefings and init.sqf work just fine (including images in the briefing).

Have you checked your rpt file for errors (or started your game with -showScriptErrors) ?

Post your (complete) init.sqf and your (complete) briefing.sqf to pastebin.

Well I just figured out it was not showing because of a script I am using. The silencing weapons script is written in all .sqs and all my other stuff is .sqf does that mean anything?

As Xeno says:

Post your (complete) init.sqf and your (complete) briefing.sqf to pastebin.

Just the exec.

It was a hint to try it both ways.
