Mission briefings

[FSPilot 0]

Ok, well, I searched for a tutorial about the tutorial about mission briefings and didn't find anything.

I created a mission, put it in a seperate folder as it's filename (uh-oh.noe for the folder, uh-oh.noe.pbo for the file), and included a briefing.html in the folder.

The briefing is basically copy/pasted off of the tutorial at flashpoint1985.com. For some reason, it doesn't show up. Any help?

De-pbo the uh-oh.noe.pbo and make sure briefing.html is in there.

the briefing needs to be in the misson folder BEFORE the mission is saved as Single or Muliplayer map. All files that are in the misson folder will be in the final misson.pbo

So I create a mission folder, THEN a mission with the same filename?

Sorry it took me so long to reply, we watched a movie.

When you are editing mission, there is folder with your mission files.

Flashpoint\users\userName\missions\missionFolder

Put your briefiefing.html and overview.html there, then (from Editor) save it as single or multiplayer mission or use some external PBO creator.

Still not working

There's a uh-oh.noe.pbo in my user missions folder, i put the briefing.html in there, then i load it in the mission editor and export it to SP missions.

when I try to load it it takes me back to the main menu of OFP.

Try deleting the uh-oh pbo in your ofp/missions folder and gointo ofp and export it again.

If your just checking its working there no need to export it, just hold down left shift key when you click on preview, if your briefing is working you will see it then.

There must be mission files in that folder. Not compiled pbo file.

Mission files are : mission.sqm; description.ext; briefing.html; overview.html; *.sqs

If your mission name is uh-oh then mission folder name is Flashpoint\users\userName\missions\uh-oh.noe

After exporting mission as singleplayer there will be uh-oh.pbo file in Flashpoint\missions folder.

Just forget it. Now I have to study to make .ext files.

Check out a post I put up today. This little (under one meg) program will save you some major grief. You have to play with it a bit and still understand what you need in your mission folder but after that it's a cake walk. I was able to complete a briefing ,overview, link my markers, it helped me throw in custom music and sounds very easily plus it does way more but I'm not that advanced yet. Finally I was able to finish a couple of my missions off. Completey:)

Try it. Works like a hot dam.
