And I thought I was just ready to do a test run.
I assembled the mission, ran full mission processing, added goals, the folder structure, strings, intrface, briefing text and all that. It runs fine when opened in Dromed. It installs with Darkloader. But when I click "Skip Training" in the main menu, it crashes.
What the hell could be the problem, damnit?

Check your missflag.str file for mistakes, and make sure any custom gamesys is in the root TDP folder.
No custom gamesys was involved. missflag.str reads:Originally Posted by R Soul
Unless there is an error in that, I have no idea. Did find some different, non-gamebreaking bugs, but not the cause of the error.// Valid mission flags

Check your dark mission description.
That should be okay; mission number and path are in there correctly... I am using the mission20 slot, as usual.
Melan--I added "skip" for missions 15 through 19 as well, and changed the first line to:
miss_1: "no_loadout" in the missflag.str file
...and now it works.
And much appreciated for that!(That's the sort of error you never find when tired)
Now to play through the level in game... Anyone who posted in this thread up to now is eligible to beta-test if they'd like to -- since I want to release the FM later today (it is 1:37 here), and it is just a small affair, a short time should be adequate.
I'm mad at my mission just now, so if I'm not too late, I can beta yours.
Okay. Betas sent out, others can hopefully appreciate it in a short time.
I've been following Nicked's absolute beginner tutorial, and thought I'd be ready to finish it, but now I experience the same problem Melan has described here. I also thought missflag.str would be the problem, but I can't see how.
This is what it says:
No custom gamesys, I'm using miss19 and that is correct in the Dark Mission Description. I tried Queue's suggestion in this thread but that didn't help. My FM folder is now packaged with miss19.mis, a readme, and the strings, intrface and books folder.// Valid mission flags

Any suggestions?

Worked, thanks! What were the purposes of these lines anyway?
That's the missflag for the OMs only. Purpose: Jumping to another mission. TG missions are set in a alternate order. It won't work with a single FM.
