can anyone make weapons for me?

If anyone could make any, they can be any type.

[Wanderer]

Almost any one can make new weapons for the game - as you do not really need more than notepad for it... Though the best would probably be to learn to do it yourself.

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Weapons.tbl


Can you describe what kind of weapons? For what purpose? Anything?

[james777]

Any type. bombs. guns. Lasers. Missiles.

For Retail FreeSpace 2

[Jeff Vader]

Ever thought about switching to FSO?

[Warp Shadow]

I'm bored. I will

[james777]

no.  I don't have the net. I'm at a m8s
 

[Wanderer]

Technically you would only need the FreeSpace Open exe files... Well retail compatibility makes usage of tbms and such impossible and prevents the usage of any of the added options.

[Admiral_Stones]

Sry for the noob questions, but...

a) Where can I find the .tbl files and,
b) Where do I put them for them to be loaded?

[james777]

so, is anyone going to make me some weapons for me?

[Jeff Vader]

Sry for the noob questions, but...

a) Where can I find the .tbl files and,
b) Where do I put them for them to be loaded?

a) If you mean just the table files regarding FS2, in Root-fs2.vp.
b) Into one of the \data\tables\ folders.

so, is anyone going to make me some weapons for me?

What do you need them for, anyways?

Maja works too. Java-based, so works with Mac 'n Nux, as well.

How about a machinegun, a sort of miniature flak gun that can be fitted on fighters?
