Use the Tutorial on how to use the tool - see the front page.

I have found one but I don't understand that.

I assume you mean your NPC's don't give missions on the bases? That is a common problem, its the decryption problem of Mbases.ini where a line gets jumbled. If you look up at the top of the forum there is a post there - if you go into the post, it contains links to threads in Newbie Questions, where how to fix the Mbases.ini file is included. So read the "summary" for the pages, and look for the Mbases.ini file fixing or populating bases etc.

If you meant make new missions, then it doesn't do that !

Do you mean you cannot make new types of missions, or that you cannot make new factions at new bases and/or in new systems give out missions? (If the latter, I won't bother trying to find out how that works )

I have found the right Thing with the mbases.ini, but I will make a complette new Mission with new Enemys, new Description and new People in my own Base or Planet. Please give me a Link or other.

This is the only mission available for fl AFAIK.

1. Destroy this and that...
2. Kill this guy or that guy
3. Capture this guy or that guy and return him to us.
4. Capture a cargo and return him to us.

or something like that.

Now for specific faction group. you must create a vignette parameter in your system's ini file.

make sure that the vignette parameters are not 40k radius away from the supposed based that will give orders.

for their levels. it is in the mbase.ini entry

offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 8.110100, 15.197413, 100 <--- this one

and in the npc's. they must be equivalent to each other or else they will not give you missions.

A typical mbase.ini entry

[MBase
nickname = FBT_01_base
local_faction = li_lsf_grp
diff = 19
msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_base_FBT_01_Base

[MVendor
num_offers = 2, 4

[BaseFaction
faction = li_lsf_grp
weight = 50
offers_missions = true
mission_type = DestroyMission, 8.110100, 15.197413, 100 <- this one must be similar, except for the 100.
npc = fb0101_lsf_001_f

[GF_NPC
nickname = fb0101_lsf_001_f
body = li_hatcher_body
head = ku_newscaster_head_gen
lefthand = benchmark_female_hand_left
righthand = benchmark_female_hand_right
individual_name = 0 ;GENERATESTRRES("Liberty Security Force\nAgent Eve Firestorm"
affiliation = li_lsf_grp
voice = rvp501
misn = DestroyMission, 8.110100, 15.197413 <--- with this one
room = bar
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133222
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133223
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133224
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133225
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133226
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133227
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133228
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133229
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 133230
rumor = base_0_rank, mission_end, 19, 134318
know = 251630, 252714, 1000, 2
knowdb = hi01_to_EW04_hole

this thing must be under your mbase.ini entry.
