Well, doin up a mission and when I was about to add another message I realised that the button in question was faded out and unable to be de-pressed! Bugger! Oh well, I've hit the sexp limit, message limit and ship limit . . . I wonder what else there is. Oh well, the civilians don't need to talk anyway!!

As an aside, does any one know what container docks with a Bast frieghter? I added that bad-boy to my FS2 campaign but all of the containers seem too damn big to dock with it. I'm thinking I might have un-added a container I shouldn't have.

I assume so, but I'm not sure whether it made it into FS2 or not. I'm guessing not, unless I took it out to make room for other ships. In any case, I should check it out as I can probably add it with minimal problemos.

I like your avatar btw . . . I just realise that might supposed to be the kids tongue, but to me it looks like he took a plastic puck in the face. (no hockey in the house!)

Wow, I just hit the bitmap limit too for mission backgrounds. I woulda thought I could put a few more in as there's still a lot of space. But perhaps I wasn't making them big enough. Oh well.

Ah, just my never to be finished campaign. I just finished another mission file today, for a total of 9 done so far.

Let's see, my latest mission has:
~28 events
52 messages
88 objects
22 waypoint paths

And ZERO combat. Ugh
Well, there was combat IN the mission, just not in that mission file if you catch my meaning.

But basically the whole point of the mission is:

-hey, what happened?
-hey, where's this, who are these guys? We might see them later.

Oh well, at least it's finished. On to mission number 10 which should be MUCH more simple. And FRED shouldn't momentarily freeze when I zoom out too far. Hey, has anyone else been fredding a mission and had the grid suddenly turn bright red? That was whack.

I think I may have reached another limit recently, but I can't recall what it was exactly.

Uhm... that may be a bit much. The objects in particular could cause problems on some lower-end systems...

Well mine is a lower end machine and it doesn't pose a problem. A lot of them are nav buoys, or small little objects sitting around doing nothing. I only have uh, 450mhz overclocked, can't really even play SCP with any effectiveness.

Do you have to crank a handle to get it started in the morning? :p

FS2 is an old game. If your PC can't run it then you really need an upgrade :)
