Hello, I recently made a three level mission pack, and I've finally beat the first mission. I have one problem: the next level won't load.

Here's my trigger:

Players: Side1
Conditions: Side3 commands no troops
Actions: Ecom 'blah blah'
Actions: Set next mission "VMP02: Siege of ACME"
Actions: End mission: victory

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance.

You could try adding ".lvl" to the "next mission" name, like this: "VMP02: Siege of ACME.lvl"

I had the same problem. You can open the file that was created when you exported the mission "VMP4-v04.pdb" in a text editor such as Notepad. Search for "lvl" make a note of the exact name of the next level. When I opened your file here is the name I saw "vmp-02: siege of acme.lvl".

The set next mission text should be the same name as your mission level with the ".lvl" extension.

Note: If your level mission is over 22 characters the name is truncated to 22 characters. Don't forget to add the ".lvl" extension to the name.

In the latest version of the editor it should not be necessary to open the exported mission pack to find the mission name. According to the FAQ it should be enough to look at the title you have set in the LevelDoc settings for the next mission.

In the example from Verdagons file the name used in the trigger action is different from the name found in the .pdb. Does that mean that the editor has changed the mission name or is it a typo?

Okay it works now. I just rechecked the level names, added the .lvl things and it works perfectly now! And more good news! I just beat level 1! For the first time! Go me!

PS. On to level 2...

Yes SoLan is right, up to 22 characters of the mission name + ".lvl" is the way to do it. Not exactly "user friendly" but it works Smile
