ok so how do you save a .paa image in the overview.html then? Im having same issue

Would like to have a nice intro picture before starting my custom mission probably with some text aswell describing the situation.. anyone got some good decent advice and script examples on how to do so (already posted a couple of threads and got help straight away this is a good forum)

hey guys im using quite allot of mods like the CBA's And ACE's Mods and the unsung mod it seems every officer or RTO or special forces unit wants to pop a smoke to try and hide himself from the enemy.. it gets really annoying but I cant step back from using all these mods in the mission I have been making for so long lol

ok cheers I'll give it a shot

Making a mission with a napalm script and you have too mark the target area with a red smoke.. accept when my AI throw their own red smoke which happens allot in the mission it gets ridiculous. when the missions previewed this makes my napalm strikes go elsewhere usually right on top of friendly's or in some cases on the player.. how do I stop this from happening how do I remove the red smoke ammo from AI in the mission editor?

Hey guys just too let you know Ive fixed this issue.. I wasnt saving the game file once I saved the briefing file. that was all I had too do!

ok I have just used your sample briefing, put it in my briefing.sqf and it still doesnt work? also tried a briefing.html and nope! :( this is eating into my time

yea even when I press M n get my map up No tasks to be seen... ok ok how do I create a briefing.html?? what do i put in it?

thanks for touching up my brief script but still no joy man :/ [] execVM "briefing.sqf"; is exactly how I have it

yes In the mission directory in arma 2 missions in the correct folder for the mission: mission sqm.file, init.sqf.file and briefing sqf. file.. is this the correct line to have in the init.sqf file? "[]execVM"briefing.sqf" ?? haven't finnished my briefing yet but my plan is to have all my marines cooped up in a firebase under surprise attack by the Vietkong in the Tet offensive. I usually try and I test this: // Created in A2B Editor by EMSI Defend Base = player createSimpleTask ["Eliminate Vietkong invaders"]; Eliminate VC Mortar Team setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "VC mortar"); I whack that from A2B to my briefing sqf. file then open arma 2.. scenarios.. mission "Tet offensive" and nada on the tasks lines or any briefing atall I know Im doing something wrong but bare with me please I'm a complete noob all I need is the correct commands

seriously I have been stuck here for 2 days trying to figure this one out and it just isn't funny I've read through every possible post about this issue and havent found a solution.. gone through allot of templates I make a script with A2B editor for my mission im currently trying to make on the arma 2 unsung mod (Vietnam) save the sqf files in the mission etc, execVM "briefing.sqf"; in the init.sqf folder I go and load the mission and.. No briefing just straight too the action. I've even disabled all Mods and still cant get a briefing helpmeplease!
