You haven't considerd the extensive SP rewrite I made for this while I was working on SDT for this?
Look at the Custom Missions.

Btw, I don't directly see anything wrong with it.

Are you talking about the Custom.ScotchyMalestrom missions? I was going to use those, but I wanted to make the change permanent. I tried overwriting the original mission files with the ones from the SNS pack, however I kept on getting an error because the files kept on calling for files in the Custom.ScotchyMaelstrom directory, and I had never copied over the files. So I used SNS' missions as an example template and tried to edit the mission files myself, and I ended up here. :(

I would suggest then using those, since I made quite a few changes.

Will do. Will the game reference those when you start a new game with the "New Game" button, or will I have to recode some things? Also, if I want to change other ships in the future (ex. Nebula, Akira, etc.) can you link me to a tutorial, or help explain it to me so I can avoid nasty mistakes like this again?

You start the new game by clicking on the first mission you want to start at the Custom Missions menu (under the Scotchies Maelstrom section).

I copied all of the files from the SNS Galaxy pack into my BC install now, however the custom Scothcy missions do not show up in the custom mission directory.

It ought to if it was installed.

It's in the scripts/Custom/ScotchyMaelstrom directory
And it uses all the convention that BC uses so it ought to show up there (if it's installed that is!).

I know it's there, since I've tested it at that time.

Yes . . . it's supposed to be under Custom missions. It shows up in my modded KM instal, but not in my SP campaign install.

Could you give me a listing of the files under scripts/Custom/ScotchysMaelstrom/?
Just filenames, or, if the resulting zip isn't to big, a zip of the entire folder?

Try this one.

I'm really unsure how the Custom.Games. got there. I don't remember putting it there.
