Editing Instant Missions?

[Steve Gee]

Is it possible to edit the Instant Missions for each plane?

[shagrat]

Yes, but in fact you need to save the mission(s) to your User profile, as per default you have no write permission to the Windows program files folder.

To fly your edited mission you need to start it from the "Missions" Menu NOT "Instant Action" and select "User Missions".

Thanks, was wanting to replace the IA menu ones.

Yep, save them to your saved games "My Missions" section. You can change the name, change AI units to CLIENT for multiplayer or just for yourself. Be cautious about using some of the really big missions in MP as some of your friends will get lagg from lots of units on the map...but you can delete some of them to make it more digestible.

You can edit the IA ones and they will save in the IA menu, but after an ED update, you'll have to drag your backup files back into the main directory and they will simply update to what you want them to be. I have some edited IA missions that ED messed up, so I fixed them and each update I just do this simple backup trick that fixes all my game files.

 

I show it in this video here starting at 9:37 time slot:

Okay, so you CAN edit them, just any patches will override them? Just go back and replace them after a patch then. That works, have to do that with the graphics.lua every time to change my FPS color.
