OK do I save the EFF file and the JPG file together or do I save it separately? when located it in the command briefing editor do I select the Auberon JPG or the EFF?

Ok I saved the EFF and I saved the JPG, how do I convert it so that it looks like the other EFF's in the command briefing? I put both the eff and JPG in the Data/cbaanim folder.

I loaded the EFF into the game however it shows up in a weird way.

Okay, firstly, please don't post multiple times in a row like that. If you have more to add to what you said before and nobody's replied, just edit your previous post.

Secondly, you're going to have to be more specific than "it shows up in a weird way" if you want anyone to help troubleshoot what's going wrong. Can you show us a screenshot of what it looks like in-game?

My Apologies, I will do that for future purposes. How do I take an in game screenshot to so I can show you what I'm talking about.

Your Print Screen (or "Prt Scr" as it's usually abbreviated) key will make FSO save a screenshot in TGA format to a folder called "screenshots". If you'd rather not deal with TGA format, you could always try something like FRAPS.

Also, if your attachments box is full then you can post a screenshot to an image sharing service like http://imgur.com/, then post a link to the image.

If you haven't already heard of it, it probably isn't worth going into detail; Google it if you're curious, but if you already have a screenshot in TGA format, you just need to find someplace to upload it.

A lot of these sorts of mission ended up in my Quick and Dirty archive.

Without the filename, it's a little hard to know which mission this was and if it made it in.
