Can't get foundry missions to work at all, what am I doing wrong?

Hey guys. I know back in the day I used to be able to get Foundry missions at least to a playable state, but with the newer updates I cannot. I try to follow the suggestions in the editor as best as I can but whenever I try to test the mission and go to the console (or wherever I've set as the start of the mission) and accept the mission instead of transporting me away to start the mission my character just transports, the load screen appears, and then I'm back on ESD (or wherever I started).

What am I doing wrong? I just want to make some simple "simulator" missions where I get to fight a few Klingon ships. Thanks.

    Map transitions aren't working in the editor. You need to load each mission map separately.

    For whatever reason the map transitions do work after the mission is published, so if you want to test your final product just publish it and run through it, then if necessary withdraw it for further editing.

    Having the same problem with the foundry can't play story mode, worked fine before, to publish and pull the mission back is very time consuming. The mission I am working on is hefty and there there will be many more behind it to come makes it a pain to publish and pull back. I hope this problem gets fixed soon.

    Went back into the foundry and none of the map transitions are working from one map to the next. Each map will play individually the transitions between do not work on any of the maps. Who do we talk to take care of this problem ?

    1. Post have been made in the official bug reporting forum and the Foundry Roundtable podcast has been talking about this problem for some time. That's as far as we can take any particular Foundry bug, so just move on to working around it. If a fix is ever going to come it'll come, if not oh well (that's game development, not all problems can work their way to a dev's desk.)
    2. You might want to review what we mean by "test maps individually." That's not a fix, that's what you have to do to play through a mission in the editor. Transitions simply do not work, back out and test each map individually to work your way through the whole project.
    Published missions are fine, so this is only hampers mission testing towards the end of a project when story flow and pacing are the focus and most of the individual map construction is done. ie. it's not the end of the world, though it might require more careful thought on how parts of a mission will come together later (working out story flow through iteration has become more difficult.)
