Request for briefing.

[TimeDeatH 10]

I am wondering if anyone would like to make a briefing for the mission I have created, if interested, I will send you an email containing the mission I have created. You may add feedback and suggestions for that mission as well.

Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

That is the error I get when trying to start it. I have extracted all files to a folder on my desktop and COMDLG32.OCX is there with it. Perhaps it is because I'm running Vista 64 bit?

[PorkyJack 10]

Did you place them in a folder on your desktop? Just call the folder Briefing Manager, and place it all in there.

[TimeDeatH 10]

If you read my above post all the way through you would see that yes I did.

I was never as smart as my grandmother so I prefer to do the briefing myself, its easier.

Lol i have tried to use it a few times but nothing appears in mission. i write my briefings and save them, i put the file (missionname.sqf) in my profiles saved missions folder, then i went into the game editor and opened the mission then saved it and exported it to game missions folder! does that sound correct?

[pj[cz] 2]

if you name the file "missionname.sqf" you must than have Init.sqf with the following line :

brief = player execVM "missionname.sqf";

I prefer to name the script with the briefing lines name directly Init.sqf

never had problems with that

[shuko 59]

Or just paste the createsimpletask etc stuff directly to init.sqf, there is no real need for a separate file.

Ye done all that still wont work??? which is weird cos the first time i used it it worked????

// A2BM W 110

// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE

waitUntil {!(isNull player)};

waitUntil {player==player};

switch (side player) do

{

case WEST:

{

player createDiaryRecord ["Diary",["Operation Nip it in the Bud","Hans Muller and Yuri Mishkin are two of the worlds most notorious terrorists and supply their services to the highest bidder. The bidder in this case is the russians.<br/><br/>You are insertion team Blue Two and are tasked witht he seizure of these men.<br/><br/>Our mission is to capture these terrorists and bring them to justice they are wanted for numerous war crimes but most recently and most importantly to us for their involvement in the ethnic cleansing that has been going on in the area, the assaination of key western VIP's assigned to getting this country back on its feet and also the deaths of many coalition members in the war in Sahrani.<br/><br/>We have received intel that suggests they are running a training camp in the area and the local resistance have agreed to escort you to its location. From their you must asses the situation and use your initiative to bring these men to justice. Please note we need at least one of these alive but preferably both. their exact location is unknown so use any intel you find wisely. surprise is our only advantage here so use it well.<br/><br/>Good Luck......."]];

MAG_tskObj2=player createSimpleTask ["Find Intel"];

MAG_tskObj2 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Find any intel you can we need to know what they have been planning.","Find Intel","Find Intel"];

MAG_tskObj1=player createSimpleTask ["Extraction of POWS"];

MAG_tskObj1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Once the area is secure call in the yanks, "Razor Team" is their call sign they will extract via chopper. NOTE. secure area before calling them in!","Extraction of POWS","Extraction of POWS"];

MAG_tskObj0=player createSimpleTask ["Find the training camp"];

MAG_tskObj0 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Resistance will get you as close as possible. Recon the area and try to narrow down the targets location before attacking.","Find the training camp","Find the training camp"];

player setCurrentTask MAG_tskObj0;

};

case EAST:

{

};

case RESISTANCE:

{

};

case CIVILIAN:

{

};

};

MAG_tskObj1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Once the area is secure call in the yanks, "Razor Team" is their call sign they will extract via chopper. NOTE. secure area before calling them in!","Extraction of POWS","Extraction of POWS"];

Here's a clue. ;)

[stephen271276 10]

?? Gis a clue man am still learning? Well ok you did gimme a clue am still none the wiser plz pont outt he problem???

[shuko 59]

You used quotation marks inside a string (which is defined with quotation marks). Thus, it's breaking the whole thing.

If you want the marks there, you have to add another pair of them. Like:

"Once the area is secure call in the yanks, ""Razor Team"" is their call sign they will extract via chopper. NOTE. secure area before calling them in!"

[stephen271276 10]

AAAAHHHHHHHH will check now

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Changed it and its still not there in game?????? AM losing patience with it now! AAAAAArrrrgh!

Still says briefing.sqf not found??

[shuko 59]

You should have a folder where there are 3 files:

mission.sqm

init.sqf

briefing.sqf

Mission.sqm you dont need to touch.

To init.sqf you add just this line:

execVM "briefing.sqf";

Briefing.sqf file should have all that task stuff in it.

There should be no init.sqf or briefing.sqf FOLDERS, just files.
