Is it possible to add ships using modular tables? because what I get now is a hellalot of warnings.

Error: extraships-shp.tbm(line 38:
Error: Required token = [#End], [$Subsystem:] or [$Name], found [$Default PBanks: ( "Prometheus R].

I got similar errors, but they were refered to tech descriptions.

That "Prometheus R" worries me. I assume that you deleted a consistent part of the ship's tbl entry...all specs regarding meneuver capabilities and stuff. Maybe you have replaced a line about subsystems with one about the loadout.

Check that suspicious entry and verify if I'm right.


Adding new ships to the list is easy: you have just to copy and paste their tbl entry where appropriate, paying attention on eventual mistakes. The ships tbl, however, has a certain ship limit. But you shouldn't have problems if you add five ships, for example.

I'm not sure, but the Prometheus line looks like a quotation mark was left out, that's all. I'm not sure how that happened, but it does seem to happen a lot.

I always get this error.

Can we see it? I've been able to fix it a majority of the time.

How you can make tables work if you get this error?!?

You just have to follow an order. X spec comes first, followed by Y. A couple of times I got this errors because I have deleted important parts of the subsystems part of a tbl entry...by mistake.

[Snail]

No, I always miss out commas, speech marks, misspell things, stuff like that. But it usually is fixed in the end.

How can you? Tables are written in your home language!

Even DySkO can set them correctly(he is on vacation, so there are no risks!).

[Snail]

So? Everybody makes typos, even if it is in their home language!

Well, the majority of .tbms i make are +nocreate editors, so I only need to include a part of the table. This sometimes causes problems if I forget to include something that is necessary (like using a new FS2Open feature).

Not me

Anyways, we're turning this board into another Inferno Night Cafè.

[Snail]

Yes you did. In Shiv's Mod Thread, you wrote 'ipothetical' instead of 'hypothetical'.

Proof:

We were talking about an ipothetical battle, the main campaigns have nothing to do with that.

(Unless ipothetical is a word, which I have never heard of?)

[Mobius]

Since when English is my home language, Snail?

[Wanderer]

So are there still problems or errors?

[Grizzly]

Well, I copied these things from the FSPort ship table and then changed al the FS1 weapons into their FS2 "Equivelents". Probably screwed up something there.

If you really want to know, the fighter was the Apollo

[Snail]

Guess it wasn't a typo. Guess it was a spelling error... Whatever.

Hey I got it! I copied all the weapons used in singleplayer to the allowed dogfight PBanks, and accidently copied the Pbanks flag with them, producing something like this:
$Allowed PBanks: ( "Subach HL-7" "Akheton SDG" "Morning Star" "Prometheus S" "Prometheus R" "Lamprey" "Targeting Laser" )
$Allowed PBanks: ( "Subach HL-7" "Akheton SDG" "Morning Star" "Prometheus S" "Prometheus R" "Lamprey" "Targeting Laser" )
$Allowed SBanks: ( "Rockeye" "Stiletto" "Tempest" "Harpoon" "Hornet" "Hornet#Weak" "Harpoon#Weak" "EMP Adv." "Infyrno" )
$Allowed SBanks: ( "Rockeye" "Stiletto" "Tempest" "Harpoon" "Hornet" "Hornet#Weak" "Harpoon#Weak" "EMP Adv." )

instead of:
$Allowed PBanks: ( "Subach HL-7" "Akheton SDG" "Morning Star" "Prometheus S" "Prometheus R" "Lamprey" "Targeting Laser" )
$Allowed Dogfight PBanks: ( "Subach HL-D" "Akheton SDG" "Morning Star" "Prometheus D" "Lamprey" "Targeting Laser" )
$Allowed SBanks: ( "Rockeye" "Stiletto" "Tempest" "Harpoon" "Hornet" "Hornet#Weak" "Harpoon#Weak" "EMP Adv." "Infyrno" )
$$Allowed Dogfight SBanks: ( "Rockeye" "Stiletto" "Tempest" "Harpoon" "Hornet" "Hornet#Weak" "Harpoon#Weak" "EMP Adv." )

Glad you got it to work. Any longer and this post would be flaming 

[Mobius]

Uh, not really.

So, my theory about yout problem was true
