Still no go.
Maybe I'm missing something that should be obvious to me.
I used the new Mission Editor (V2.20P3) to access the source code for two of my old missions, which had worked previously.
The new Mission Editor is able to edit that code. It successfully plays both missions to completion. I used the "File -> Build Res Library" facility on each, and that appeared to work correctly. In each case, I was warned that "A Mission's Name cannot exceed 16 characters". I had expected that, since my old missions used longer names and Sudz had warned about that. In both cases, I chose shorter names, and a new file was created using the new name and ending in ".res". In both cases, that new file was stored in the "offmiss" folder where I had put the source code.
But the main Aces High flight sim software (aceshigh.exe) version 2.20P3 never does anything with either new mission. I get no indication that any offline missions are available for the corresponding terrains. I KNOW I'm accessing the appropriate terrain map, in "Offline Practice" mode, but when I click on "Practice Missions", none are ever listed.
I've tried several things in my attempts to figure this out:
-- I've copied the ".res" file from the "offmiss" folder to the "missres" folder.
-- I've edited the ".res" file to make sure all of the internal references to ".wav" files point to the proper locations in the source code
I'm out of ideas now. Anybody having success?
