 The following are the steps to create a 20-player event frag that is capable of being hosted on a dedicated BMS server.

 ===Event post graphics===
 You can use any image editing software you want. One option is TechSmith's Snag-It. This tool has good cropping, image resizing, text effects, line effects, arrow effects, and opacity options. But it is not free. Paint.net or anything that you have is good enough to create basic mission graphics.

 =Tips and tricks=
 *If you try to frag missions when you are a remote client (i.e. you are not fragging directly on the server), your steerpoint 3 will not be a holding point steerpoint. So ideally, frag the initial flights on the server and make changes to these flights from the clients or server.
 *Sometimes that AI does not send up fighters to defend itself, resulting in a bit of a boring time for human escorts. In some instances, you may want to join REDFOR on the campaign and manually frag some Sweeps or BARCAPs over the AO for the event, to keep things spicy.

 While MC seems like a stable choice, there is a risk that you will corrupt the campaign. Therefore, it is suggested that MC be used sparingly.
 When using MC:
 *Back up your missions external to MC. If you use MC's Save As, you will lose the HIS file and lose all of your historical intel.
 *Test your missions after you edit them to make sure nothing has broken.

 **Possible values 1, increasing incremental; Default is 2
 **sets the hours to run a campaign without suffering player not flying, where # is the number of hours of no player flights. E.g. if you set 720, these are the hours that the campaign will run without being degraded even if player doesn't fly. If left default, our side will begin to lose if someone doesn't fly every two hours
