Winter Breakout Mission

*disclaimer* I know nothing about making am online mission

What all do you have to update to your missions?

[USRanger]

I would wait and let me do it.  With all the extra goodies I throw in, it requires much more work than normal to convert them.  A real PITA.  Making new missions will be easier than updating the old ones.  I just spent so much time making these ones that I'd like to see them continue to be used.

What all do you have to update to your missions?

I misread this.  I thought you were asking what you would have to do to update them.  The missions no longer run off the xxx.mis file in your Offmiss folder, they run off xxx.res file in your Missres folder now.  As of now, the .res is what the mission runs off of, but the .mis is still needed to open a mission up in the Editor.  I'm having trouble converting the larger missions right now because for some reason, many of the .wavs that worked in the previous version crash the mission now.  So right now, I have to play a mission, wait for a crash, find the .wav that plays at that spot, remove it, rebuild the .res, play the mission again, wait for the next crash, rinse & repeat.  So these newly converted mission will not contain nearly the amount of .wavs they once did.  A necessary sacrifice to have the missions play smoothly though.  I'm busy converting my Rising Sun Raiders mission right now, Winter Breakout is next, then the others. 

Please note that even though the missions will be converted & working, the custom terrains are still screwy until the new Terrain Editor comes out.  Right now, it removes custom textures and replaces them with the new defaults.  So for now, Winter Breakout has no snow. but the mission will still run fine after converting.  I plan on updating the terrains when the new T.E. comes out so everything will be golden again.

I took it down a couple days ago until it is updated to the new version.  It's on the list of to-dos.

I am trying to download the Winter Breakout Mission, but the links aren't worling.

Do you have new functional links for it.

I have posted things, for this and other Forums, on Esnips.

The problem that I have found with Esnips is:

Once I have posted a file, on Esnips, I can't update the file with it's original link.
I have to upload the updated file as a new upload.
Having done this,I then have to copy all the discriptive info from the old upload then paste it all on to the New upload.
This creates a completed new link by which the file is accessed.
I then have to delete the Old upload.
This all done, I replace the old link, on any forum that I had posted it, with the new link.

Ranger, are you having the same problem or have you found a way around this inconvenience?
I Emailed the Esnips support people and the said that this was the only way to update an uploaded file.

Not until the terrain & mission are updated to the new AH version.  It's in-process.  Probably a few weeks.
