I can fly just fine in .9, and I can get it's benefits, like the OpenGL rendering and higher resolutions. I can get night missions someone else has created.

I can do missions (create them) in the old mission editor, but when I try to create them in the NEW missions editor, I can go all the way until I hit 'save', then it crashes telling me that it performed an illegal operation. I can even load a scenario, but I can't save one. Ideas?

At least that worked out well.

It's killing me, though, because I'm anticipating that Zeppelin L-9, and I'd like to be able to write night missions!

What to do, what to do!

msnWindDirection 0 msnClearColor 0 0 0 msnFogColor 0 0 31 msnLighting 0.100 0.100 )

msnSquadron

OK, so how do you do it? Like this, in the above, the beginning and end parts you will find in all missions, so I've copied them to help show where the color settings are placed. msnClearColor is the sky color, here set to black if memory serves, but the numbers 0 0 0 are RGB color numbers, so, you can use a paint prog to make a color, check it's RGB number, and replace the 0 0 0 with your numbers eg 255 43 89

msnFogColor is the same RGB setting, but this is for the Fog, fog color should be set close to the clear color or it can look odd.

msnLighting controls abient lighting and model shading, changes to this should be very small, as small changes make big differences.

I suggest you copy what I pasted above, and then open a mission and paste that into it to see what it does, then change the values a little so that you can see the changes.

When saving the mission again, makesure that you don't accidentaly save it with the txt extension or else it wont show up.

Note the word SEEMS....it really has only been me testing it....I talked with Werner about it and he has others testing my theory....I am not sure whether it is the patch's fault or not...but in all other regards, Nations is fine.

I'll check both... either way is workable... I can either copy the settings from a scenario who's colors I like (open it up with a word editor, copy and paste) or change the squadron names later.
