Title: Overviews
Post by: SimonRussi on 11 Sep 2002, 16:14:32

I have a overview.html file in my mission folder:
<html>
<head><title>Title</title></head>
<body>
Go and rip'em off!
</body>
</html>

pure simple HTML 1.0 as you can see...

when i export to single mission nothing appears in the mission selection menu overview ... why that?

thanks
Simon

Mine looks like this

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="VB">
<title>Overview</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<br>
<h2 align="center"><a name="Main">Lookout!</a></h2>

I don't know what any of it means but it works.   From what I can gather the Overview and Briefing use html (obviously) but as they are not strictly html docs - the game converts them to its own format - simple html may not be enough.    I suspect you may need

<title>Overview</title>
and
<a name="Main">

in there somewhere to let the game know what it's supposed to do with this file.


Edit:  When I first started I got nothing up either until I started editing it in a text file.
