W0lle 1049 Posted March 12, 2007 Maybe by using the search Function of the board? I'm absolutely sure this question has been asked already in the past 6 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suvv 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Hi dude, WOlle suggestions are really helpful aren't they. So much for community. I have struggled to find stuff too. As AA is new to me and I never played OFP everything is new and most of what you want to find is likely to be in the OFP sections and not AA. Have a look at the Wiki, it's very useful. As for your specific query have a look here ( in an OFP section of the Wiki ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddo 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Maybe by using the search Function of the board?I'm absolutely sure this question has been asked already in the past 6 years. This forum is a hostile place and it seems that the moderators do their best to make it even worse. Better place for beginners is definitely at http://www.ofpec.com/. All the friendly people are there. Best Wishes, Baddo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karantan 0 Posted March 12, 2007 WOlle suggestions are really helpful aren't they. So much for community. This forum is a hostile place and it seems that the moderators do their best to make it even worse. Come come now, the mission makers should also to make some effort and try to find some turorials and to browse the apropriate sites a bit to gain the basic knowlege and information about the mission editing, not just to post a sentence(s) like 'how do i make this?, how do i make that?...' (on which was most probably answered a hundred of times in the past already), and then expecting a miracle to happen. And I think when answering W0lle was not there in moderator's but in member's role, and I think his answer was absolutely correct and fair. Thou maybe in his answer he also could provide some useful links for a dude ... @operation madman This can't be answered just in one simple sentence as your question is, and I doubt you'll understand much of the explanation so yes, do some searching and above all get yourself some tutorials. Go on OFPEC as Baddo is suggesting, and also check this: http://www.opflashpoint.org/mission_tutorials.php?v=4. See, a minute or two of browsing ...

operation madman 0 Posted March 12, 2007 The main thing i am tring to figure out is how to locate the breefing area. Were is it! i been looking around for that dam breefing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1049 Posted March 12, 2007 Download Chris' OFP Script Editor here. It has a wizard for Briefings and Overview, and a lot more useful stuff. @karantan Right, usually I provide links but after all it's not that bad to search this forum section for "Briefing". Plus I was in a hurry, too. @Suvv Yep you're right mate, I'm totally useless for the community. Glad to know you do better support, we all are looking forward to your constructive comments and answered questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karantan 0 Posted March 12, 2007 ... but after all it's not that bad to search this forum section for "Briefing". Agree and my point exsactly. It's kinda annoying to do the other's work; if we had the time and the will for it ... @operation madman Have you checked the links we've provided to you? Sorry, but don't quite understand what do you mean by the 'locating' thing. Can you be more specific? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suvv 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Well WOlle, Sorry to offend, and I have noticed your contributions to the forums, but, like I say, things are difficult to find at times, especially when you are new to the game and might not realise that the game is OFP in new clothes. It's also clear that english is not "operation madman's" first language, he has mis-spelled [sic] breefing, so a search would have been fruitless for him. Anyway, I'm sure he has found the solution he was looking for. Keep smiling, Suvv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
operation madman 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Thank you W0lle that had help. I also have on question about that mission breefing how do i get the breefing in the mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1049 Posted March 13, 2007 Save it as briefing.html in your missions folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 13, 2007 If you can,then also try to download the "OFP uber editor tutorial",it has a lot of valuable info for beginners. It's a 10MB .pdf file.(Adobe Acrobat) Find it here: http://games.tiscali.cz/flashpoint/download.asp Macser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
operation madman 0 Posted March 13, 2007 can you be more detailed about that plz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 13, 2007 about what?Do you mean the location of your mission folder? Briefing goes in here: C:\program files\codemasters\operation flashpoint\users\YourName\ YourMissionName. Is that what you meant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
operation madman 0 Posted March 13, 2007 i am having trouble with the breefing. I used the sam breefing in other mods and it work on one but i put it in anouther nission and it is not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 14, 2007 When you say it's not working, what exactly is happening? Nothing? Does the briefing show up? Is it not responding to completed objectives? Are you using the exact same briefing for all those missions? Give us a little more info. Have you tried creating a new one? That could help.It wouldn't take too long, and it would be a good chance to try out "Chris's Ofp script editor". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgentJonathan 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Every burger-flippin time i try to make briefing, it doesnt work... correctly. What I really hate about breifing is "you cannot fix it if you mess up". You have to start over if you mess up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macser_old 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Of course you can fix it. It's just a html document. If you open "Briefing.html" even with "notepad", or a similar text editor,you can then change it. Then resave it and there you go.Just pay attention to the arrangement of the fields.Otherwise it might not display correctly "inGame".Stay inside the arrows to avoid messing up your text. You shouldn't have to keep recreating it. The reason I suggested Chris's OFP script editor was to speed things up a bit.It will also set up the correct fields for you.As I understand it,OFP likes the Briefing and Overview set up a particular way. So I use that to create a basic template,then edit the file manually in a text editor. As always I'm open to correction. This is just my particular method. Macser.
