Title: Ships table oddites
Post by: diamondgeezer on July 16, 2003, 10:14:27 am

Can some one explain why the first Shivan entry in my ships table will not show up? All the Terran entries show up perfectly, but the first ship in the table listed as 'Shivan' will not appear in FRED or the Techroom. I don't have any Vasudan entries... does that make a difference?

I realise that an obvious workaround is to put a decoy entry the table, but I'd like to get to the bottom of this little mystery...

Oh ho, trying to get at my classified stuff are we?

:nervous:

Er, anyway. Thing is the entries are otherwise fine. I can rearrange the first and second Shivan entried and they both work perfectly. Except that the first one never shows up...

The thing is, I swear it worked with my last install... I'll go fiddle with it a bit

Meh, its not like a tbl entry is the core of all secrets... PM it to me... I can take a look. It's not like I'll show people :rolleyes:

I just gave it a Vasudan entry, still no joy. Stand by, I'm going to fiddle with it a bit more and then I'll post a HEAVILY CENSORED version ;7

Try readding the Vasudan support ship if it's not in there, see if that fixes it.

Have your brother/friend/anyone you know/random person delete your files.

You can even use him as punching bag afterwards! My brother is still hanging upside down and bound from the ceiling... His punchig bag impersonation is astonishing indeed
