I'm trying to learn how to make missions with Res-Edit, but there is something I have encountered. In the dësc recourse, it sais the brief, quick-brief, cargo drop off ect, but it doesn't say the actual first mission text (you know; blah blah blah (Yes) (No)). How do you inplement this? It doesn't say anything in the bible about the first mission text.

Also, I was thinking about doing a continuation with UE. It would be the UE finishing the Voinians (and their other enemies) off, basically the vise versa to ROTV and ROTV II. However, this would be less work as Voinian territory is smaller and the standerd missions already go quite far with the story-line. However, would anyone like a UE continuation plug? I could make it after/while I make my other BL plug. What do you say?

Gaviin,

This weekend I plan to post 'Mission Control', a specialised mission editor on the Ambrosia site. The first version was released to the developer's corner people a little while ago, and then it was withdrawn due to a bug report. That seems to be OK now and I've fixed a few more bugs as well. Try making some missions with it and look at the results with ResEdit, that should answer your questions.

In the meantime you can get a copy (without final manual or examples etc) from (url="http://"http://ww.sutherland-studios.com.au/family/evo_software.html")http://ww.sutherland...o_software.html(/url)

Cheers

zhouj: Thanks for the enncouragment, but I didn't ask that. I asked if people would want it, not whether you thought it wouldn't get finished or not.

Ralph: Cheers mate, I'm downloading it now, as well as a few other (1.0.2 bible, ShipWrite ). Trust me, it's much appresiated. (I just know I spelt that wrong :))

Erm, Ralph, I've tried it out. It's very good, but there's one eensy weensy little problem. I make a new mission, and I press 'OK', and it doesn't save. Do I have to make all the missions with Res-Edit and just edit them, is this a bug, or is there something I've missed out.

It's very promising though. Good layout, easy to use. Wonderful.

Simple problem here mate, you need to make a write capable plug instead of read only. I can't remember how, but I know it involves a dialogue or sumit...

When you open the plug you're gonna make missions for, there's a little box you need to un-check...It's the Read Only box I think...

I'd love to play it! In fact, I'm making a "Reign of the UE" right now! But don't let that discourage you!

God bless,

Just as fact, this is how to make the first text in res-edit. Your mission brief text should be 5---. lets say that it is 5111. Then your mission start text would be 4111. Hope that clears things up.
