Title: Renaming a mission?
Post by: eegore on 15 Oct 2008, 11:32:47

  I have a mission .sqm that is not named correctly but everytime I copy it and export it to single player it still gets the incorrect name. 

  I copied the entire screen and made a completely new mission but the overview won't show on any of those after I copy that over in the User/Missions folders. 

  I renamed the description, the init.sqs etc. but everytime I get the original incorrect name after exporting to single player.  Why does this happen do you think?   

Thanks

You name your mission properly through the 'Intel' dialog in the editor, thats the bit that gives the time and date and an icon picture of a cloud.

Definitely, it's in your intel section in the mission editor on the "Top Right" of the screen.

Yep by the clouds..  :yes:

hopefully that works for you if you haven't already figured it out from Planck  :D

  Thanks guys.  I have only converted an editor mission into a SP version once about 5 years ago so I forgot all about how I named the damn thing. 

  I relearn something new everyday.

Cheers to Eegor...so are you back editing or what? If you are,  you can map your mind in our world again... :)  :cool2:

But if you've been around and are editing again, great too....

Best regards,
NightJay

  I took about a 3 year hiatus from OFP and have never been any good at editing.  Still I really enjoy the freedom of the editor and am really grateful to have found OFPEC upon my return to the game. 

  I never knew most of this stuff was possible.

If you only need to make a small change to the name, such as the version number:

Open the mission.sqm with a text editor, the name you've given the mission can be found in the Intel section under the definition briefingName:

Code: [Select]

version=11;
class Mission
{
addOns[]=
{
"bis_resistance",
"WEK_CobraAttacksInf"
};
addOnsAuto[]=
{
"bis_resistance",
"WEK_CobraAttacksInf"
};
randomSeed=16089603;
class Intel
{
briefingName="Cobra attacks Infantry";
};
class Groups
{
You can also have a briefingDescription line, but this is only visible in the multiplayer lobby.
