Unequippable Weapons in FRED?
As nearly as I can tell, I renamed my mod folder, and now a bunch of the weapons in my .tbm no longer equip correctly.

When I launch FRED, all initially seems well: I get the default player ship. Thanks to a bit of modding, it's substantially bigger & better than the usual Ulysses:



This particular corvette has primary and secondary firepoints in its .pof, and the appropriate weapons in its ships.tbm file. However, all three of its gun banks, and two of its three missile banks, are empty by default. The appropriate weapons do not appear in the drop-down lists:



Surely it must be a weapons.tbm problem? I'm not quite so sure."Treb LRM" works fine, so this leads me to believe it's not a file issue.

...Also, for some bizarre reason, FRED is properly recognizing that these missing weapons exist. Here you can see "Hellstar", "Ice Queen", and "Aurora Wake" in the team loadout editor, which are the three missing primaries:



...And here are the missing secondaries, "Eos SSM" and "Supernova#MG". Along with the mysteriously working "Treb LRM":



Here is the wep.tbm file:

Neither starting up the game nor FRED gives errors or logs (Even FRED debug doesn't give any warnings). In fact, the missing weapons behave normally in missions where they are already saved onto the ship. Opening those working missions in FRED empties the player-corvette's weapons, exactly as seen above.

"Obviously the meson bomb is a form of cat-toast-device, with the buttered toast inverted, so that the cat and toast both fly in the direction of gravity much faster than expected. By introducing artificial gravity, a pair of cat-toast perpetual motion accelerator units can be made to collide with one another, and they produce an unimaginably devastating explosion. Both cats are named 'Meson'."

Re: Unequippable Weapons in FRED?
Try removing the "big ship" flag from your weapons, as that means they can't be equipped on small ships.
Former Inferno lead, BTA fredder-ish and DE fredder. Driven out by ordinary fascists the_e, aesaar and general battuta. Will return if they're ever removed.

 
Re: Unequippable Weapons in FRED?
Holy crap, I forgot that I left the player-Bellerophon flagged as a 'fighter'!

Tagging it properly as 'corvette' also fixed the problem.

Interestingly, this should also solve the problem with enemy capships behaving like idiots around the player! (Such as never launching torpedoes.)

Re: Unequippable Weapons in FRED?
Oh, one more thing, assuming your trebs and supernovae are VLS launched I recommend you put the "gun convergence" flag into your ship table. That will make them actually fire VLS-style instead of just always firing forwards.

Interesting, didn't knew gun convergence did that. I've always made the weapon in question a swarm weapon, which also makes them fire properly down their normals.
Urutorahappī!!
