FMB: What da hey?

[:FI:Falcon]

I thought about creating a mission or two for the squadron, but I dun gots a pob'em it seems.

I press the FMB button in the game and the blue map page comes up, but there are no maps available and the page won't exit. The only option I have is the EXIT under 'Files'. I need to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to exit.

So, am I missing some files or what. No hurry. Just a thunk.


thx

Modded or standard?

could be a missing "maps.ini"? for map mods.

no load/save mission either?

[:FI:Falcon]

no load, no save mission

under 'edit' is only 'delete all'

and a few things under 'view'

I don't see a maps.ini file out in the open

unmodded at the moment

I swap the files.sfs, filelist and il2fb files manually when I switch.


thx

Must be your files.sfs then. - check filesize,try re-pasting.

[:FI:Falcon]

original files.sfs file repasted

no change

If you switch to "details" it'll show as 4,442KB
("properties shows 4.33 MB (4,550,656 bytes))

2003 !!!! ? check your e-mail for 4.08 exe

12 February 2003, 15:46:50 exe should be =3.65 MB (3,833,856 bytes)
But thats pre 4.08

my bldconf.ini folder is empty.

Put the stuff above in it?

Bingo

[L.F]

Same thing happened to me once, Falcon.

Had to reinstall the game.

[:FI:Falcon]

Thanks guys. I ain't gonna touch nuttin' right before Sunday go-to-flyin', but I'll let yous know later.


Fal "old school and old .exe" con

[:FI:Falcon]

It worked!

Putting words and things into the bldconf.ini folder works MUCH better than having it empty.

Let that be a lesson to all of you!




thx again Snee,


Falcon
