Is your mission file saved in the same folder as the other missions ?

Actually, I've never had to do anything for them to appear in the mission list...Is your mission file saved in the same folder as the other missions ?

yup everything is in the same directory as the waterworld/scorchedplanet/testmap but when i launch the demo and head to the select mission/level screen it just shows the default three (scorched/water and test).So what your saying is my mission (Base Defense its called) should also show up in mission/level select without any intervention from me.??

Now press F11 which will open the in-game editor, now press F4 and the panel on the right should change to show the creator panel.

Now open the interiors group (by clicking on the plus to the left of it), open the fps group, then the data group, the interiors group, the evil1 group and finally the maps group. Inside this last group you should see your box

Right I should! but I dont see it, please help! B) Indeed, there IS a BOX1.dif file inside C:\torque\example\fps\data\interiors\evil1\maps in my hard drive but when I hit F4 and browse down the tree, I get as far as the "evil1" folder, and the "maps" folder is not even there.. there is only a "fairfax" and an "example" subfolders. So, I tried copying BOX1.dif to those two folders that do appear, and no luck either.. it doesnt list it even then. I have tried closing and restarting the editor mode, the level, the whole application, and still no luck. Like I said, it must be something pretty silly, but.. could you help this newbie?
Thx a lot! B)

Hey guys, am having a similar problem, I think. Sigh, am afraid this thing is probably so easy and am just failing to see something obvious, but.. .hh.. anyway! am trying to follow the tutorials quite literally, and in the WorldCraft Tutorial, I am in the part where one gets to import the box into the map (lol, you may roll your eyes now B) ) anyway.. the tutorial says: [quote]
