So, I'm almost done with my fan mission. I wanted to check if everything is good and followed some tutorials to zip it up and test it on DarkLoader. For some reason it just crashes when loading the objective screen. I tried two other FMs just in case it was just the game messing around but the objectives showed up after a few seconds.
There are 14 objectives, and 8 of them should be displayed on the screen; the rest being hidden. So, is this simply too much for the game ? Or did I just messed up with the objectives ? The hidden ones are stuck in between the visible one. I looked up for an answer but it seems no one had that problem before.

I don't have the answer to your question, but I'm sure someone will be along who does. Meanwhile, congrats on getting this far with your mission. When you are ready to start beta testing it, just let me know and I'll be happy to provide you with a private testing forum at (

Did you set the values under Editors > Mission Parameters > Dark Mission Description? That tells the engine which mission number it is so it knows where to look for the goals.str for your mission.

Yes I did set the values in the parameters, I've put "22" and "miss22". I also did change the newgame.str and set everything except for miss22 to "skip". Also I don't know if this matter but I did not do anything for the difficulties at all.

Oh thanks ! I was looking up for this just a moment ago! I'll do just that when the problem will be solved

Do you have miss_22 set to "no_briefing, no_loadout, end"?
FrenchDecay on 13/3/2016 at 19:55
Yes, I didn't put spaces after the commas though. I don't know if there's something running while loading the objectives like a script ?

If the crash happens before you see the objectives, try taking a goals.str from any other mission and put in in place of yours.

It keeps crashing without any error message, even with the goals from a FM that was working with DarkLoader. It's really odd and annoying, also it loaded for a really long time, even just to see the text in the menu. Just to be sure I don't miss anything in my zip, it must have the .mis and .gam, the goals.str, titles.str, missflag.str and the newgame.str right ? Those are the files I absolutely need if I'm correct?

I believe you need the newgame.str only if you are changing the words that appear in the difficulties/title menu. I'm brainstorming on what else could be wrong.
Can you send me a link in PM to the zip file and I'll be happy to look at it?

Done
