And I thought I was just ready to do a test run. :mad:
I assembled the mission, ran full mission processing, added goals, the folder structure, strings, intrface, briefing text and all that. It runs fine when opened in Dromed. It installs with Darkloader. But when I click "Skip Training" in the main menu, it crashes. :mad: And crashes some more. :mad:
What the hell could be the problem, damnit? :mad: Everything looks okay. It just doesn't work. Help!

You didn't pay your telephone bill on time?

Check your missflag.str file for mistakes, and make sure any custom gamesys is in the root TDP folder.

No custom gamesys was involved. missflag.str reads:
Quote:
// Valid mission flags
//
// skip This mission doesn't exist; it should be skipped.
// no_briefing Skip the briefing movie
// no_loadout Skip the loadout
// cutscene Play a cutscene immediately afterward
// end End the game when this mission is completed
//
miss_1: "skip, no_loadout"
miss_2: "skip"
miss_3: "skip"
miss_4: "skip"
miss_5: "skip"
miss_6: "skip"
miss_7: "skip"
miss_8: "skip"
miss_9: "skip"
miss_10: "skip"
miss_11: "skip"
miss_12: "skip"
miss_13: "skip"
miss_14: "skip"
miss_20: "no_briefing, no_loadout, end"
Unless there is an error in that, I have no idea. Did find some different, non-gamebreaking bugs, but not the cause of the error.

Check your dark mission description.

That should be okay; mission number and path are in there correctly... I am using the mission20 slot, as usual. :p

Melan--I added "skip" for missions 15 through 19 as well, and changed the first line to:
miss_1: "no_loadout" in the missflag.str file
...and now it works.

And much appreciated for that! :D (That's the sort of error you never find when tired)
Now to play through the level in game... Anyone who posted in this thread up to now is eligible to beta-test if they'd like to -- since I want to release the FM later today (it is 1:37 here), and it is just a small affair, a short time should be adequate.

I'm mad at my mission just now, so if I'm not too late, I can beta yours.
Melan on 30/12/2008 at 01:48
Okay. Betas sent out, others can hopefully appreciate it in a short time. :p
