Biophysicist Post #1

I made a mission briefing for a map, but it refuses to show up in-game. The text doesn't display, mission objectives aren't set, etc. Anyone have any ideas?

Here's the briefing triggers, if it helps any:

Code

Briefing("All players"){
Mission Objectives("Made by: Madroc and TassadarZeratul\r\n\r\nMISSION OBJECTIVES FOR HELP");

Btw, I get a string corruption message at random times. Could that have anything to do with it?

None.

It almost gave me a seizure, but your code works. It's likely the string corruption issue. Have you by chance renamed some of your switches? If you have, check if the names have changed.

I think the issue at hand is that SCMD2's Mission Briefing text editor doesn't always properly handle strings. I would look at your string table to verify that the strings you've used for the briefing are there.

I would try manually deleting the mission briefing triggers, deleting any strings connected with it, and then pasting/compiling the briefing again.

I remember text briefing editor not working at all. Has this been fixed?
Anyways, you should try the most recent version.
To verify you should put the briefing into an empty map.

if you max the length of a line in the briefing, it doesn't display. (forget the max length)
if you have line 1 under the maximum, but line 2 over, line 1 should show, but line 2 won't
if line 1 is over max, then nothing should show

hope this helps..

It's actually an SCM Draft problem if I remember correctly, try the newest version from the thread, or open it up in a different editor and do your briefings with that.

None.
