remind, has the Species.tbl been fixed, so that the changes in the table actually show up in the game?

Can you guys add extra species? Some of us campaign types need, you know, a fourth engine sound... ;7

There is at least a 100 of things that has to be changed, in order to add a new species.

I played around with it, right after the Source was released.

actually i think the whole concept that certain Sounds are attached to a certain species sucks bigtime. I rather have people try to make the name of the soundfile read from the TBL file.

I agree, same goes for engine glows color.

And what colors are used in the FRED ship menu. We should be able to either select from a list of colors, or specify an RBG.

By "changes", do you mean additions? There's a limit on the number of intel entries you can have. This is currently set to 10, but could be upped to be much higher. Each entry only takes up 5188 bytes of space (5.2 kilobytes).

I'd love to have a table file that allows the control of species.  That'd be great.

tell me about it, just for OTT, I could use it for the Tau and the Shivan berserkers :)

oh, yeah, another thing, it's the support ship, more than two would be cool ( three species, two support ships :ick, that means if you add a new species, they'll have none, or one from either the terrans or the vasudans :doubt )
