Need help with Mission Editor

Not sure if this applies to your problem but in SH3 you had to name both the mission folder and the mission the same, eg. a folder with the name Battlestations used a mission title called Battlestations.mis .
If there is more than one file I would make sure all have the same name, just different extensions.

Make sure to tick the human control box in the player subs properties.

well I now get the title to show up in the single player missions but it doesn't show a sub to play. It says unknown player. but when you validate a mission everytime it says Error: no player unit found. So when you go back to parameters theres a box to put a check mark in that says Ignore player submarines and if you check that box the validation accepts the mission. But then your submarine isn't recognized in the game. I havn't a clue what is wrong. This is nothing like what we had in sh3. Can't the Devs explain their work as this is really frustrating!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you have already done this, but the llittle things are easy to miss: In the editor under Mission / Parameter did you tick the Multiplayer box? I would guess that has some effect when it looks for players subs. Also, In the same section you can tell it to ignore players subs when validating.

Hope this helps a wee bit.
