Plans & notes

How do I create plans and notes for a mission?

I have tried everything to learn, but I didn't...

P.S.: I need help with debreifing too.

go to http://www.chenderman.com/CHOFPSE.htm and donwload the editor. its has wizards for briefings and plans, so all you need to do is add the details and save it in the correct folder. it will automatically write the script and save it in the correct format

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<! --- ----------------------------->

<! --- "Notes" section >

<! --- ----------------------------->

<h2><DTS="Main"></a></h2>

<p>

Destroy the shilka at all costs, we need our stranded aircraft airbourne.

<br><br>

</p>

<hr>

<! --- End of Notes>

<! --- ----------------------------->

<! --- Missions plan >

<p><a name="plan"></a>

Short description of the mission.

</p>

<hr>

<p><Destroy the shilka. = "OBJ_1"></a>First objective.

</p>

<hr>

<p><Disappear = "OBJ_2"></a>Second objective.

</p>

<hr>

Quote[/b] ]Markers: You can add marker links in your briefing. Take a look at this line from the example above:

You can use some <a href="marker:MarkerName">links</a> too.

No, you made the same mistake multiple times. You are not supposed to make any changes to the tags like <a name=Main></a>, <a name=OBJ_1></a>, just leave them as they are.

However, whenever I said give me an example, I wanted you to show me a script that U made. smile_o.gif

So I'll know where to put things. smile_o.gifhelp.gif

You put the briefing.html in the folder where you have the unpacked mission saved. When you save a mission from the editor as 'user mission' it goes into directory <ofpdir>\users\username\missions\mission_name.island. When you save it as 'export to single player mission' it goes into <ofp>\missions as a pbo file.

Also, make sure you don't have the file extensions hidden so you don't save it as briefing.html.txt, that won't work.

Well I'm not a psychic so I can't tell what's going on if you don't tell me what it is that you're doing and what's happening. You can see some examples of briefings in <ofpdir>\SPTemplates

I have one more question. Is the plans only seeable when you post it to single missions?

This is what it looks like in html file:

I have to destroy the AA, and Uljtez if I can.

Nope, you can see them in preview mode too when you press m.

1. copy the unaltered file briefing.html from <ofp>\SPTemplates\1-6_C_Cooperative.Abel to <ofp>\users\<yourname>\missions\<missionname.island>

2. start ofp, go to mission editor, load mission, start preview, press M

Do you or do you not see the briefing?

Ok, I've got nothing. I don't get it why it doesn't work, maybe your computer is evil or something.

maybe "querty" is killing you biggrin_o.gif

Where Metal Heart said use "m" to see briefing, maybe you should try "?" (azerty ? button = querty m button)

If you are in the editor, hold the "shift" button when you press preview and you'll get the briefing before the mission begins

I think ur wrong somewhere...

Try to dePBO a mission you played & put it in ur users/missions/nameofmission/ folder; then load it in the editor and hold the Shift button down while you press preview.

If you still can't see the briefing I'm sure you launched FIFA2006 orso biggrin_o.gif
