Hello!

I need help with the briefing part that the mission start with. I made a Briefing.htlm, Description.ext and a Overview.htlm in armaedit. After that i placed it in arma2/missions/my mission. Then i exported the mission to singleplayer but when i start the mission there is no briefing. Only a map with some map markers. What are im doing wrong? this is just what i did when i made briefings for ARMA1, atleast what i think i did. Please help me.

Thanks in advance!

You also have to write a briefing.sqf file. Then start the briefing.sqf over the init.sqf with:
QUELLTEXT
[] execVM "Briefing.sqf";

You might want to try out Briefing Manager by alimag

You have to write a briefing.sqf file with one of the tools below. Also write an init.sqf file and place it also in your mission folder. In the init.sqf file write this line to activate your written briefing ingame.

QUELLTEXT
[] execVM "Briefing.sqf";


Here are very good tools for writing briefings, overviews, description.ext and so on.
Briefing Manager
A2 Briefing Editor
A2OD Editor Lite
A2D Editor

Hope this helps!

Yeah... i wanted the same some time ago tongue.gif
try with these commands:

ShowMap true*
ForceMap true**
OpenMap [true,true]***

*: shows map... the player can quit it.
**: forces map... can ONLY be quitted with the ForceMap false command.
***: opens map, the 1st value between brackets (from left to right) opens map (true: open, false: closes), the 2nd (from left to right) one, forces it (the same as ForceMap)

I haven't test this things.. i'm in a hurry and just wanted to quick-reply you tongue.gif

Best Regards, SGJackson!

oh, PD: use those commands in a script or in the init.

If you are running the mission from the editor, hold down the shift key, then click on preview and keep holding shift a couple more seconds for good measure. This works in editor preview regardless of having actual diary entries to view.
The aforementioned execVM "briefing.sqf" is necessary for a mission packed as a pbo, as well as if you want to see the diary entries in the editor with shift-preview.
One caution about the forceMap technique is that the mission is "live" when the map is viewed, unlike a briefing which occurs *before* the mission.
