Apologies if his has been mentioned recently, but I couldnt find anything to do with it with 'Search'.

In EVN Desc's is there something you can type so that the following text appears on the next page? For example

One blahblah
n/
Two blahblah

would appear:

|One blahblah |
| |
| 'OK' |

|Two blahblah |
| |
| 'OK' |

Im sure original Nova desc's use this feature throughout the game, or how would you get three pages of mission describes? I've been resorting to using "Show desc at unloading" so I can fit in two pages of desc's, but there must be another way....

Ta all.

The best way to do it is what you're already doing, and if you need additional pages here's how to do it: Create a new misn with AvailBits so that it will NEVER be activated. Give it an "accept mission" desc, set it to "can't refuse", and set the OnStart field to say Axxx, where xxx is the ID of this new misn. Now put a Sxxx (xxx means the same thing) field in the OnComplete or whatever field of your first misn. When it finishes, it will start the second misn, which will show a desc with an "OK" button, and then the second misn will abort itself. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Vaumnou's absolutely correct. I just want to add one thing: you can get three (3) text boxes in a row if you use the loadCargo desc, and set it to pick up cargo at the start of the mission.

I THINK, but I'm not sure, that if you make the cargoQty zero, it will still work, but the cargo will be invisible. Obviously, if I'm mistaken, you are stuck doing it the long way (Vaumnou's), or you need to have a mission cargo. Anybody know for sure?

You're right. I did it, and it work perfectly.
