Well, do I need to say anything or did the title clear it up?
I'll go into detail anyway :razz:

I was building a new mission in fred_open today that I had been working on for a few weeks. I had tested it many times before today as well as testing it many times today, but I recently came close to finishing it and so I decided to test it. For some reason it did not show at all in the list in the tech room. Can someone please outline the possibilities of what could be wrong for me? Or if not could someone please take a look at it if I post it on here?

Long filenames don't appear. How long is yours? Try something shorter.

File names or mission names? Because I have some real bigg'uns that do show but this one doesn't. It's called testicleV1.0 so it's not really that long. I even tried to copy it and save it under a different name and that did not work, so it is probably something in the mission itself, but I can't see what.

Well, I can tell you why I called it Testicle if you want, but I have a small feeling in the pit of my gut, that you don't want me to.

Anyway, do you think that the name is the problem because I don't as I said earlier.

Yes. Remove the decimal point. Ive read it causing problems for others.
(That is.. if its in the file name as well)

Well Actually, testicleV1.0 is the actual file name, and I thought that it could be something like that, so I will give it a try.

Tried it!
It was the decimal, thanks for the helpage everyone!

Yep. FS cannot handle a decimal before the .fs2
