The last two.  They aren't on the retail model either, which should help in narrowing it down, but then VA posted a table snippet that actually names them.  You do have to modify ships.tbl (either by editing the monolitihc file or by using a .tbm) to get them to actually show up in FRED.

[Ghost]

So if I just made a new txt file with extension .tbm with that in there, that would be all I would need? Where would I put it/what would I name it for it to work?

[Vasudan Admiral]

Call it "lucifer-shp.tbm", put it in the tables folder with everything between the start end end file parts actually in the file.

[Fenrir]

What name would I give the .tbm for the weapon itself? wep.tbm or something?

[StratComm]

something-wep.tbm.  The -wep is important.

[Ghost]

Call it "lucifer-shp.tbm", put it in the tables folder with everything between the start end end file parts actually in the file.

Alright, thanks dude! Good job again on an awesome model!

EDIT:: Agh, what am I doing wrong? This thing keeps screwing me over. The turrets and weapons show up in FRED, but I get these errors when I try to play:

Using 3.6.7?  That build doesn't support XMT modular tables (+nocreate) so you'll have to get a more recent build to use them.

****. I feel dumb. Thank you.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Ack, I've just realised that those earlier bug-fixes got uploaded to the wrong folder, and so nothing actually changed. :\
Fixed now though, but they're only minor cosmetic fixes, so there's no pressing reason to redownload if you don't want to.

[Cobra]

PLEASE tell me these don't have .ani's. (i never got a chance to download it )

[Vasudan Admiral]

It doesn't have an animated glowmap, and even if it did I wouldn't touch the ANI format with a bargepole with EFF's around.

[Cobra]

sweet! *downloads the bloody thing*

oh yeah, anyone see an EFF viewer around?

[WMCoolmon]

It doesn't have an animated glowmap, and even if it did I wouldn't touch the ANI format with a bargepole with EFF's around.

Well I did a quick test and it looks like PCX files are roughly 2x the size of GIF files. Meh.

But yes, DDS FTW and all.

How to convert pcx to dds ? What proper option do I need in photoshop ?
I have the DDS plug-in, but when I want to save the file, I got a list of feature and I don't know which one I must select. Whatever I do, the save Button is locked.

[WMCoolmon]

Try DXTex or DXTBmp (Google search FTW)

If you start from a PCX, you first need to switch the image mode from "indexed color" to "RGB color"

Then "Save as" -> select ".DDS"

Select the options according to this



Leave the other options at the default value (as long as nooone tells me what can be done better)
If you want transparency, use DXT5 compression.

i got these errors when i used some TBMs for the Lucifer and her planet destroyer cannons:

[Wanderer]

Those seem more like problems with media VPs... Are you using the new 368 beta? And hopefully not mixing different versions of media VPs.

[Cobra]

it's not a media vp problem. it's most likely a TBM i made. hang on...

[WMCoolmon]

It's a mediaVP problem. All of them had fixes made in the last day or two.
