chronic lumbago Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey, I've spend HOURS working on a mission and wanted to correct some grammar mistakes with notepad. The mission worked absolutely fine before that. I edited, saved and wanted to play but whenever I want to load a mission *just clicking on the option*, my game crashes!! When I put the mission to another folder it works fine. How can I fix this mission? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/879069-i-really-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Shizuku Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Did you use original notepad or notepad ++? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/879069-i-really-need-help/#findComment-1069337134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callsign 16 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I wouldn't recommend using notepad...Do it manually by Editing your mission in the Game Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/879069-i-really-need-help/#findComment-1069339700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnDReJ98 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Notepad++ works fine as long as you don't edit anything other than text. Some characters that aren't supported in game such as ''&'' can also cause a mission to crash.

chronic lumbago Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks for the answers, but there's nothing I can do now. I edited it with the standard notepad and all I did was change a few letters. What I know is: I won't ever edit DYOM files again.

Aflien Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just like Andrej said Download: Notepad ++ : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ When editing mission, always make a backup. Open the mission in Notepad++, go to search and find any word used in the dialogue (I always use my protagonists name) You will find the lines, You are free to edit the text. Touching anything else will most likely end up in a disaster. Be aware that there are some 'inputs' (letters, whatever) like ™ that aren't can't be used in a missions. (If you cannot enter it in-game, don't enter it in the notepad, simple as that) I myself only use it to fix some grammar issues or small things like that and I never had a mayor problem (Unlike using the DYOM feature edit text.) Test it out, but don't forget to make that backup. Always have backups. Always. chronic lumbago 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/879069-i-really-need-help/#findComment-1069341300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
