Help with Alimag's Arma II Briefing Manager [1.1]!

[bboy 11]

that program looks great. i tyed to make a brifing, but when i put into the mission folder, nothings happen... so, on the forum i saw that brifing it's not a only thing that i need to have in my mission folder. i am a new fresh with making missions... i need to finish my first one. if someone can explain to me HOW to do all of that? I want to use that program. So, how i need to name that file, briefing.sqf right? then, do i need to create init.sqf? What to write there? If someone can tell me that, first tnings firs... in order! thanks!

..do i need to create init.sqf? What to write there?

Yes, in your init.sqf simply write:

execVM "briefing.sqf";

Nevermind...

hello bboy, I consider myself as scripting beginner, but it seems that you need quite a lot input about basic stuff. So if you like, check following links, there you will find a lot of useful informations and maybe an alternative solution for how to make your briefing.

I just tried briefing manager 1.1 and it works really well.

save it as briefing.sqf

and create an init.sqf file and make sure it's not saving a text file.

with this in it nul=[] execvm"briefing.sqf";

I tried your briefing BBOY and it threw up an error here "L-39 Albatros" the editor has a bug and it should really convert that to ""L-39 Albatros"" in the notes that'll show up correctly as "L-39 Albatros".

The rule is quotes within quotes need extra quotes.

Nothing man... i tryed everything... i extract a bunch of briefings from mission pbo's from the users... they all look difernt... but they all work! Mine no! What i need to do else...

[f2k sel 164]

There really is nothing else to do it should work.

try putting nul=[] execvm"briefing.sqf"; in a units or gamelogic init as that should also work.

If not zip up your mission and I'll take a look.

I just cant believe! But i can believe... I found the problem! for everything, for whole briefing the problem is only one word... "L-39 Albatros". Like this, the briefing desent start at all... If I put, L-39 Albatros, it's o.k.... if i put 'L-39 Albatros' , it's o.k... but if i put "L-39 Albatros" , NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The briefing doesent start at all! So, those things "" are the problem! I spent whole afternoon to find where i wrong... Like i said, i saw a lot a diferent briefings and they all looks diferent, but they all works... Even the init is a diferent, for example, you can put , nul=[] execvm"briefing.sqf"; , working, or you can put, execVM "briefing.sqf" , working... Even if the init have extension .SQS , it's o.k... Thank you all on help, especially thank you F2k Sel! Because off that, i'll will give you a good aero SP mission, cos' i saw the aero missions it's not so popular between the players...

Cool, do you have the -showScriptErrors enabled, if not open your shortcut to arm2 or OA and add this to the end of the target line with a space between -showScriptErrors
