Title: My .ext
Post by: Dubieman on 04 Jun 2004, 00:12:27

I somewhat understand .ext s but I'm having trouble here with my mission. It is there and should work but when I upload it to my single missions to see if it works it doesn't so here it is....

// A little start up for me.


onloadintro = "Near the woods, skirting the artillery base."
onloadmission = "Southern Everon"
debriefing =  1
showWatch =  1
showCompass =  1
showNotepad =  1
showGPS =  1
showMap =  1
onLoadIntroTime = false


// scores

minScore=0
avgScore=1800
maxScore=7500

I'm not sure if its okay or not, could someone give me suggestions? I just wanted to change the "get ready" and add the gps for vet players. I put a little score in there too, why not. ::)

I cant see any reason why the file wouldnt work.

Try OnLoadIntro and OnLoadMission to see if it makes a difference.

What doesn't work?   How do you know?

I suspect its nothing to do with the content of the file, but the actual file itself.    Have you deleted all previous versions of the mission from the Missions folder?    When you depbo the mission, is the description.ext there?    And other obvious questions ....

Well I have been beta testing my mission that includes this by sending it to single player missions to see what it really looks like. But when I did this, the GPS, get ready being changed, and on load mission didn't work.

Not sure I'll look into it more.

Well lets see the script.
That may have a problem. I found that my onloadintro doesn't work, the part about being near the arty base but the part about Southern Everon does work.

Not sure if that helps. :P
