Having created a test mission in the mission editor, I decided to try it out in SHIII.

It appears in the list of missions available within SHIII but when I click on start, nothing happens.

I therefore took a stock mission and put it into a new directory after editing it, and the same thing - clicking start does nothing.

It works fine on the stock missions, but anything edited it fails on.

Anyone any idea what I'm doing that is now wrong, when previous stuff I have done worked OK?

When you edit a stock mission or create a scratch one in the
mission editor, you have to follow a simple procedure. After
loading the stock mission, make all your changes. Be sure to
set-up the missions drop down menu correctly. Then save it
under a different name. Exit the editor and go to the stock
mission folder under single missions. In the folder, you will
see both mission files ending in .mis. Make a new folder and
name it exactly like the revised mission you just created. Place
the new mission from the stock folder into the new folder just created. Also place in there the duplicate file included in all
the single mission folders. Then when you run the game, you should see the mission just created and it should start normally like the others....

I make this topic sticky for a while. I think it´s time for a ME FAQ... Any volunteers???

I think Avair is your man for the FAQ. He was the one who
taught me how to go about using the editor successfully....

Thanks, Jim

I'll give it a try when I get home.

Feedback. I did as Jim said and all works now.

There is a media.cfg file in all the stock missions folders which I copied into my folder.
I had not named the folder the same as the mission . So I renamed it to reflect the mission name, et voila.

Thanks again, Jim.
