Hi,

I'm trying to setup a campaign. I've done this before and I'm following the same steps, but I'm sure I've forgotten something because it's not working. This is what I have:

1.- I've tested the scripts along with the maps as mini mods (stories). Everthing is working. The first mission is just a cutscene, this is the script:
[spoiler]
Story: thug_00
# Hero1:
# Villains:
# Map:

Starting Encounters: chat1

#-----------------------------------------

Encounter: chat1
Type: Cutscene

Start Cutscene:
Set lighting to night
Unfade for 2 seconds
Camera on hero1
Narrator says, "What happens wth the villains and minions that work in the other side of the law? This is the story of one of those unknown thugs, who plays a key in the events that will threaten Patriot City in the next future..."
Narrator says, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Thug's stories!"

#-----------------------------------------
[/spoiler]

2.- I've set up the different maps in different folders in the 'missions' folder. Inside each folder there are the following files: mission.txt, mission.dat, mission.mg, base.dat, base.mg, base.txt. In the first of the folders there are no base map and no base script.

3.- Using FFEdit, I've added the missions to the campdef.dat as following:

• The first mission has no heroes (I've also tried with 1 hero)
• The rest of them have 1 hero as Max. The hero is selected in the 'requested' list

This is what is happening:

I click on the 'Start new campaign' button. Everything is loading as usual. After that, the map appears and nothing happens. As you can see from the script above, one of the first things I order to do is to set the style of light to night and even that is not happening, the map is with usual day light.

I'm sure it must be the silliest thing on Earth and I'm feeling quite dumb because I've done this before... but this time I don't know why it's not working.

Well, thanks in advance.

Set
M25USEREPORT = 1 
in m25config.py  and then send me the script.log.

Here is the script.log:

>>> system/init.py executed
>>> system/localinit.py executed
>>> system\tredir.py executed

OK, looking at this again, you are missing the mission.py and base.py files.  They need to be in each mission directory.  Copy them from the ezscriptcampaign directory in ffx  (and make sure you have the updated version from the ezscript wiki page).

Ok, now there is a message saying something about there is no 'mission' file in my stories folde (or something like that)
here is the scrip.log:

Double check that your story for that mission is in the file mission.txt in the same directory as the map for the first mission.

Ok...
the mission name was 'mission .txt' instead of 'mission.txt'. I fixed that and now it's working.

Thanks for the help!!!
