Hola,
i know its much said about those in the forums and Biki and what, and i think i read planty of them and tried many demos, manager and so on, but i still dont get it to work properly. The best i was to manage was, that i could see the notes section but not the tasks which is odd enough.
Yesterday Sander said he has a "Crude but good" method to work them out, so i had a look into his missions (to steal is walways a good way to learn without bothering people ;-) ). The first thing i was wondering there was, that Sander does his briefings not start up with "execVM "briefing.sqf";" in the init.sqf. And i couldnt figure out where does it start at all.
Moreover, i just took his briefeing.sqf and stuffed it in a test mission of mine and put a execVM... as stated above in a init.sqf and - nothing was visible inside the mission.
So all in all it looks after days of reading and trying i still do the basics wrong.
What i did so far is, that i took several (different) templates (for example mikeys template, which is to be found on the BI Forums) and put it in my Missions folder and started the breifing with the execVM Command in the init - file. But even this isnt going to work for me.
My Questions are:
How is sander starting his briefings (if not with in init-file)?
Has the briefing any links to the players name or group (which is s1 in my example due to DAC) inside the mission?
What else could i have done wrong?
Cheers

How come we play war and not peace? Too few role models...
