I shouldn't have to ask this question...
« on: 10 Dec 2004, 20:25:13 »
I have a very annoying problem. SnYpir has made a truly great faq on how to add a briefing to your missions and I followed it to add a briefing to MY mission. However it does NOT work! The only time I was able to see any of my briefing in the actual game, the only thing I saw was the end-game debriefing and it wasn't even a debrief! My debrief appeared in the briefing book you can use from the map with all the HTML commands still in the text! Can any of you pros tell a "newbie" exactly how to add a working briefing with notes and plan to a mission? :-[

This tutorial, did it come with a breifing creator? They are alot easier than making one yourself  ;)

If not, check the first option on this page:

http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?browsewhat=3&category=3_1

It was the first one I used in my proper missions  ;)

we actually want your briefing, mate. THe one you wrote, there might be a problem w/ its code.

Off the top of my head, did you include the section "main" and "plan"? Is it named briefing.html and in the same folder as the mission.sqm? Did you include the tags <html> and </html> in the file?

This is what I wrote in WordPad:

<html>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">


<h2><a name="Main"></a></h2>
<h6>
<b>Monday, Sep 5, 1986</b>
<br><br>
Dear Diary,<br>
<br>
The war is far from over. All of the men keeps talking about a revoloution.<br>
<br>
Valenci.
</h6>
<hr>





<p><a name="plan"></a>
Today's mission is to infiltrate Lipany and assassinate colonel White.<br>
<br>
Use the east entrance to the town and make sure you are not spotted.<br>
</p>
<hr>




<h2><a name="Debriefing:End1">Mission Complete</a></h2>
<p>
Very good job, corporal.<br>
<br>
The colonel will not lead his men into any more battles against our airfield.
</p>
<br>
<hr>





<h2><a name="Debriefing:End1">Mission Failed</a></h2>
<p>
You are a coward and a traitor, Valenci!<br>
<br>
You lost the fight. Fall back and receive new orders. ;-)
</p>
<hr>





<h2><a name="Debriefing:End3">Unspecified</a></h2>
<p>Debriefing text here</p>
<br>

<h2><a name="Debriefing:End4">Unspecified</a></h2>

<h2><a name="Debriefing:End5">Unspecified</a></h2>

<br>

Are you serious? Is that all I have to do?

for example, here is what you put:
Dear Diary,<br>
<br>
The war is far from over. All of the men keeps talking about a revoloution.<br>
<br>
Valenci.
</h6>
<hr>

it should be:
<br>Dear Diary,<br>
<br>The war is far from over. All of the men keeps talking about a revoloution.<br>
<br>Valenci.<br>
</h6>
<hr>

to put spaces like this:
something

something else

add an additional line of <br> s:
<br><br>
then go to the next line like so:
<br>Dear Diary,<br>
<br><br>
<br>The war is far from over. All of the men keeps talking about a revoloution.<br>
<br><br>
<br>Valenci.<br>
</h6>
<hr>

Triggerhappy, I love you! I LOVE YOU!  ;D
It worked! It is beautiful!! You were right!  :D
Just one more thing, though... How do I make the briefing pop up in the beginning of the mission so the player can read through it before entering the action? :-\

Never mind about that! I found out on my own!
However, the title in the briefing says "cur sp" or something like that. How do I get rid of THAT >:( ??

Go into the editor, and click on where you would change the Resistance side (or weather, date, etc.... its in the top right-hand corner if you don't know), then where it say's mission name, enter the mission's name.  The mission description is not used, AFAIK.

Good luck with it.

Homefry, I love you to!!
I gave up on the "description" and the "name" in that way when I couldn't get the description to work!! You guys are my heroes, you have improved my editing skills with 70% today!! Thanks a million! :) ;) :D ;D 8) :P
