Hi lads, I have the following problem:

Somehow my ArmA messed up an attempt at making an outro (camera would not target the specifically named targets, but focus on a object I did not want to zoom in on).
Anyway, I deleted the outro.sqs, and manually deleted the contents of the outro screen in the editor.

It turned out that the outro was somehow still there, and then I deleted the outro part of the mission.sqm.
Now I even cannot load my mission!

I would be very grateful if somebody could check my mission.sqm, so that I don't lose several weeks of work.

Cheers

It seems a closing }; is missing near the end of the file.

While you deleted the outro of this mission in the sqm file, you probably deleted a necessary part of it, so your mission may have to be remade...maybe..

Try this one. It works for me.

Changes:
- Cut off the remaining OutroWin part (which did contain some grunts).
- Added a dummy OutroWin and a dummy OutroLoose part from one of my mission.
try { return true; } finally { return false; }

There's my edit:

Changed:
Nothing, just redo OutroLoose to your liking


What was wrong:
You were missing the OutroLoose part and a bracket in OutroWin part.

Correct, I did the same thing to correct it.
