Omni think's it's because i'm using 3.6.7 builds, and not an older build.

anyone have any suggestions?

[SuperCoolAl]

try 3.6.5

[Wanderer]

That has also sounds of table errors in it. Can you compare the troublesome entry to other similar entries. It might have double homing entry or something like that. I could take a look at it if i knew where to get the weapons.tbl you are using...

I think the SCP team made the table parsing much more strict that what it used to be so now this kind of errors pop up.

EDIT: I may have managed to stumble upon the right weapons.tbl on my own (If you have $FOF: before $Homing entry). Try moving the fof entry to the last row of the weapon entry, right after the impact explosion (or whatever) entry...

[Cobra]

well, it fixed the FOF errors in the Defiant pulse and Bird-of-Prey Pulse, but now... damn this photon torpedo.

getting some more table bugs, but i think i can fix this.

[Getter Robo G]

Thanks for the inadvertant  heads up! I haven't moved the Trek test build files to 3.6.7 yet and still do testing in 3.6.5

[Cobra]

ok, i've just fixed all the errors in the weapons AND ships tables (there were entries like ""Photon Torpedo" and such).

but now, 3.6.7 just locks up on startup.

[Galemp]

Try the debug build?

[Cobra]

aha... beam trouble.

Warning: Type D beam weapon, 'AAA Phasers', has less than one "+Shots" specified!  It must be set to at least 1!!

does anyone know what this should be set to?

[Goober5000]

I'm guessing at least 1?

[Cobra]

ah, but i want to keep this as Trekish as possible. that's why i asked.

[Taristin]

well, doesn't the trek whatevers fire one shot? No shots would be a weapon that doesn't fire......

[Cobra]

i know, i know.

now i'm getting actual bugs (looking for weapons that aren't in a ship entry) and an error saying i'm over the 130 ships limit.

[StratComm]

Yeah, there's a 130 ships limit.  If you must go over it, try an Inferno build, but you're going to sacrafice the ability to play online in doing so.

[Getter Robo G]

What you actually enforce that now? (I got something like 280 for Trek mod)...

[StratComm]

Dude, there's ALWAYS been a 130 ships limit.  Multiplayer breaks when it's removed.  And it's almost always been enforced in standard builds AFAIK.

[Cobra]

all I ever heard was that the limit for ships was upped. that's it.
