| The
.lst file Manager deals with the files that determine which missions are
available to fly from within the game. It will use the Mission Type
setting and the IFF of Player 1 to load all the required .lst files from
the appropriate directories in order to add it to the available mission
list.
Each entry in these .lst
files requires 3 lines, in this order:
| Mission
Number |
This must be
a unique number i.e. you can not have two different missions using the
same number.
.. |
| Mission
name |
The name of the
mission file, including the .tie extension.
.. |
| Mission
description |
A short description
or title for the mission (This is the Title that will be displayed above
the Briefing in the game.)
..
.. |
| E.g: |
|
87
Lost.tie
Lost
in the Outer Rim |
|
..
You can also include headings
in these .lst files to separate groups of missions. These must also have
3 lines in the form:
..
| E.g: |
|
//
[Outer
Rim Missions]
// |
|
Once loaded you can manually
edit the files by typing in the details, or use the Auto
Add option.
Your mission must be named
and saved before you can use Auto-Add. The New Entry box will automatically
prepare the next highest number available (i.e. the highest number in all
the displayed .lst files, plus 1) and the mission file name.
You only need to add your
description for the mission and press the "Auto Add" button to add these
three lines to the end of each .lst file displayed.
The Backup
now button will save the displayed state of each of the .lst files
under the same name but with a "~.ls" extention.
