Alonzo mission folder

[AKA_Big10]

Before patch I could *.* and see mission files and after patch I cannot? 

[AKA_Big10]

Anyone? Were they removed?

It's through the mission editor, you could bring up the folder and *.* and see the mission file. That is gone now, I even tried the resave mission tool and made no difference.

Are you looking specifically for the folder marked "Alonzo" or just for the ability to see all mission files using *.*?

That's the folder that stores missions downloaded from the Combat Box server, so maybe the missions were cleared when you updated? They would not normally be included with the game.

Are you referring to the .mission file or the .msnbin file (the one created when you save the mission in the editor)? I can see the .msnbin files. You can generate a .mission file from a .msnbin file by opening the .msnbin file in the editor (use *.* to see the file in the open dialog) and saving it as a .mission file. Note that server admins delete the .mission file so it is not downloaded to players, saving a lot of time for big missions.

Before patch you could see the mission file in the Alonzo folder using *.* and see the actual mission files. You could open that up in the editor. I was using them as a training add to understand the mission editor. 

 

I am unable to play the actual Combat Box server so I would just add an air spawn and do the ground pounding.

I tried the renaming of the .msnbin file but seem to get it not to work.

You need to open the .msnbin file in the editor. You can then save it as a .mission file if you like. Note that you can open only .msnbin files that were saved after the last game update (unless you have an older .mission file, in which case, you can click Tools menu > Save All Files in Folder to generate a new .mission file that you can open). See "Edit a Mission Without the Mission Source File" on pg. 48 of the editor manual.

So if I try to load the .msnbin file and it says error reading mission file, I'm pretty much screwed?

As far as I know, yes (unless someone knows of a secret method or has the original or updated .mission file). Of course, you can always join Combat Box when they run the mission you are interested in, which will give you a fresh .msnbin file under Alonzo.
