I have just got back to a WIP I have been distracted away from and wanted to learn how to create a missiontext.plist file in openstep. So I went to http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Missiontext.plist hoping for some guidance and found next to nothing in the structure and layout sections. I had to open an existing OXP and just copy that.
If a few boffins wasn't around in the chat room (PhantorGorth, El Viejo, Okti, Smivs) I would have had no chance to produce a working file. Is there any chance of creating something that would be of use to someone who is likely to turn to it for reference.
I am now going on to the main.js I hope to find enough info about that.
But complaining aside I thank who is responsible for posting what there is as I have learned a few things from it.

That is a very good idea.maik wrote:If you like to share what you learned I'll help you amending the wiki.
Would you like it to be posted here so other people can contribute? I will start putting a few things together once I have completed the WIP as there is a few other things still to go into my missiontext.plist so it is not complete. But it is working nicely so far. And I still have a few more lessons regarding them.
But saying that I will keep a note as I go along so as to have a problem solving section as well.

Now just a cotton-pickin' minute here, leafy! I simply cannot have people calling me a 'boffin'... my 'lane cred will suffer badly!Fatleaf wrote:If a few boffins wasn't around in the chat room (PhantorGorth, El Viejo, Okti, Smivs)
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Woeful Wiki
I read the Constrictor mission .js files and mission text from the core game to see how it was done.
