Title: No Primary Weapons - Help!!
Post by: newprin on September 24, 2003, 09:45:46 pm

When I heard about this mod, I HAD to reinstall FS2 and give Inferno a shot!

But I'm on a new system and when I install FS2 and Inferno, I have no primary weapons!  I've patched to version 1.2 and regardless of whether or not Inferno is installed, I can't load out my ship with any weapons.  Both the FS and Inferno campaigns suffer from this "bug."

When I try and load out weapons, I get a game error that says " can not be fitted with " (or something close to it).  Regardless of the ship!  All the primary guns are "greyed out".  I can load out secondary weaps, but no primary guns of any sort on any ship!

Is this a known problem or does anyone have any help?  I've reinstalled five times, including numerous system restarts!

Specs:
P4 1.8
512 RAM
SB Live
Ge4 Ti 4200

Thanks for any help!  Love FS2 and can't wait to give Inferno a shot, looks amazing!

A few things (you didn't list your OS, so I'll have to take a guess):

• Make sure that you don't have a ships.tbl or weapons.tbl in your Freespace2/Data/Tables directory
• Try creating a new pilot.
• Get the latest SCP release and run Inferno with that.  Makes it look tons better :yes:
• Enable Windows 98 software compatability mode if you are running XP

I would recommend the SCP regardless, but try those in that order and see if at some point it doesn't start working.

You don't have to enable Windows 98 compatability mode with Windows XP if you're running the retail version of FS2.

1. Easy way to check the ships.tbl is ti open fred and see if the Vesuvius is there. If it isn't then it isn't loading the tables.

2. New pilot fixes most things, and will be necessary to do again in R2

3. Remember that SCP releases won't work with the next release unless you use Phreaks builds (which are currently out of date)

4. Shouldn't be needed
