2 things

1) Who's decision it was to make the Meteor 2 map editor super-complex rather than easy (like it used to be, not to mention I have to be a C wizard to do anything)

2) How to make game messages show properly (I tried to add a game message command and now, no matter what, my opening level message won't show)

1) I have no idea but I agree, it's more complex than M1's at least.

2) copy, paste and edit this to <yourmap>.c:
#title ""
#author ""
#include meteor2
export OnMapStart;
void OnMapStart() {
SC_GameMessage("OK you have been given a mission now do it you slacker!";);
}

I don't want it to show up when I start the level, I want it to show up on passing a sector. The big issue I have is with the scripting; I can't find a tutorial anywhere that clearly says how to enter in the commands for in-game messages. I've done a million different things but I can't get it to work. Maybe someone can proofread my coding and I can get an idea as to what to do...

Well, to get a message to show when you pass over a sector, you set "use script trigger" to "true" and then type:
SC_GameMessage("put your message here";);
Make sure you include the capital letters AND the " marks AND the semicolon at the end, or it won't work.

I'm no expert with the scripting either, that's about all I can do.
