Quick comment. Why is the file named 12345.pbo   

[B2KDragon]

i havent got round to naming it properly yet taking the island isnt its real name either i dont know what to call it yet anyone who wishes to post a suggestion is a very good friend  at least i know i can leave this mission in safe hands with you cheetah becouse ive helped you test out a few missions and you have a very keen eye   

ok could some one please contact mandoble and ask him if it is alright for me to use his hitch script on my mission or has he allowed it to be used i am so confused 

[hoz]

I'm positive that mandoble doesn't care if you use his scripts. Thats why he released them so everyone can enjoy the fruits of his labor.

I'm trying out the mission now but already dislike the name of the mission, why not just name it Take the island for now.


Ok I tried it out and it won't even load for me. There are a massive amount of errors in the server rpt. file. Everything from missing ;  to missing string table entries.

Not sure whats causing it not load on my server but I would start with the server rpt file.

[B2KDragon]

Ok i have no idea whts going on here there r no server files or string files in this mission yet so god knows whts happened anyone who would like to help me solve this problum feel free to open up the file and fix it if you can please inform me first of cource

Sry Dragon

[hoz]

It could be its not loading because I don't have an addon or something. I'll look closer today.

I decompiled the mission and you have a required addons for "DC3_DBE1"  which is a QG addon. So you need to update your first post that the mission requires QG.

I don't have QG installed right now. sorry...

[B2KDragon]

so sorry about that man i was half asleep when i finished up last night must of forgoten that i put that in my bad

Sry and thanks again Dragon

[hoz]

Maybe consider a non QG version, since your just using the airplane its a pain to install qg and then install it on the server.

[B2KDragon]

no prob but one question but do you need any other scripts like the string table to run this mission on a dedicated 

Dragon

[hoz]

The stringtable and scripts should be packaged in the pbo when you save to MP missions.

[B2KDragon]

prob is i dont know how to make a stringtable or anything else 

OK liston up i have redone a lot of stuff i took 3 hours lloking through all the scripts in there and i couldnt find any probs if there are well its not my scripts as i have none i only use premade onesso if there is a problum and its not to do middion wise talk to the makers of the scripts oh and there is no QG anymore

Ok gave this mission ago...

Intro

No intro, I would suggest adding one to hide the dac startup.

Briefing

No picture in the briefing... I would add one.
The paragraph is one run on sentence, no punctuation or stopping, it just goes on and on till the end.

Your inconsistent with the capitalization of each objective, each first word should be capitalized.

Some typoes...
suplies = supplies
bace = base
surplies = supplies
sahrani = Sahrani

The notes section doesn't look complete yet so I won't comment just yet.

Mission

Well there are no markers, and the information in the briefing is a bit weak. You need to let the player know what he has to do. 
I tripped over to the northern part of sahrani as it was the only blue I saw on the map. So I didn't run into anyone and was instantly bored.

Consider giving the human players WPs in the editor so the player has some idea of where to go.

[B2KDragon]

Right at last some reviews now i can start making this better thanks hoz ill get that done as soon as possible maybe even add a fast travel script or something what do you think of cource that will be in like version 1.1 or something ill get all that done as soon as i can, plus can i have an intro making tutorial please 

it may help undo the boredom if you played with at least 4 ppl thats what this mission is for players
