I was having difficulty getting the Anubis and Amun to stop crashing the game when trying to get them to display with the fluff text in the tech room.
From my origional post: Well, I don't have trouble actually editing the files, just with the two ships, the Anubis and the Amun. I'll post the examples of what causes the error:
$Name: PVB Amun
$Short name: VBomb7
$Species: Vasudan
+Type: XSTR( "Heavy Bomber", 1)
+Maneuverability: XSTR( "Very Poor", 1)
+Armor: XSTR( "Heavy", 1)
+Manufacturer: XSTR( "PVN", 1)
+Description: XSTR( " ", 1)
+TechDescription: XSTR( " «insert fluff text here»", 1)
$end_multi_text
The above allows the ship in game, but no text string.
$Name: PVB Amun
$Short name: VBomb7
$Species: Vasudan
+Type: XSTR( "Heavy Bomber", 1)
+Maneuverability: XSTR( "Very Poor", 1)
+Armor: XSTR( "Heavy", 1)
+Manufacturer: XSTR( "PVN", 1)
+Description: XSTR( " ", 1)
$end_multi_text
+TechDescription: XSTR( " «insert fluff text here»", 1)
$end_multi_text
Which is in the same format as all other ships causes the crashing.
The cure for it was to make the following change from:
$Name: PVB Amun
$Short name: VBomb7
$Species: Vasudan
+Type: XSTR( "Heavy Bomber", 1)
+Maneuverability: XSTR( "Very Poor", 1)
+Armor: XSTR( "Heavy", 1)
+Manufacturer: XSTR( "PVN", 1)
+Description: XSTR( " ", 1)
$end_multi_text
+TechDescription: XSTR( " «insert fluff text here»", 1)
$end_multi_text
To:
$Name: PVB Amun
$Short name: VBomb7
$Species: Vasudan
+Type: XSTR( "Heavy Bomber", 1)
+Maneuverability: XSTR( "Very Poor", 1)
+Armor: XSTR( "Heavy", 1)
+Manufacturer: XSTR( "PVN", 1)
+TechDescription: XSTR( " «insert fluff text here»", 1)
$end_multi_text
Removing
+Description: XSTR( " ", 1)
$end_multi_text
fixes the problem, and I was able to play through the entire FS1 port without trouble. There only seems to be a couple of ships in the table that actually use that particular tag. Haven't figured out what it is for, but... :wtf: it works anyway.

How rare! I'll make sure I edit them for the next Port release. Thanks for noticing!

Are you a weebl and bob fan?

Umm most of the ships I have added are large (or willneed to made larger). In the tech room some crash the game, most are too close to the ship. you either see an interior wall, or barely see some outside part... What is the terms that sort out how it looks in the tech room as to zooming in .out of the model? What should be listed in the tech area of the table?
I don't now how to make a proper table file yet so for most of the cap ships I am temporarily using fighter tables cause the ships have no turrents and I am using gunpoints instead to get them working fully in game at least for the time being...

What you're looking for is the bit near the end of the table with $Cameraposition and $Closeupzoom. Change those.
And for the turrets, Karajorma's new tutorial will set you straight very quickly. :)
And yes, I have pie. :D
