How to edit Briefing?

[MattBaker]

Does someone know how to edit the Briefing of every mission?  Thanks. I finished a couple of missions but don't know how to type in the briefing. 

 

Thanks!

In the "mission settings" (F10) windown, to the left there is a line "use .ini file for additional mission settings"; mark that and that's it, you can write your own briefings, giving the map a name and more.

As Cm_blast said, enabling the .ini file for additional mission settings allows for a custom briefing to be written, which shows up in the Mission Launcher when the map is selected. And, I believe adding an asterisk* to the 'music' section of the .ini causes a random track to play on mission start.

It's great seeing other modders around! Please do make a work-in-progress thread at your convenience for your campaign, or a release thread if you plan to simply release what you've got. Others can check out the maps and give you feedback, allowing you to hone your craft and improve!

Oh, yes I found it! But I'm still use the previous version. I use the mission selector panel in D2k, so I need to add a Mission Launcher in it... Guess I have more work to do

Dune2000 is the FIRST computer game I played, in 1998. I really love it! Glad to see others players still playing this game!
