Have you moved the table files to anywhere within the Games/Freespace2/ directory tree. FS2 tends to pick them up no matter where they are in there :) Your best bet is to move the to a completely different directory on your hard drive :)

That's probally it, because I keep mods in the Main Freespace directory
EDIT: thanks, Flipside it works now:D :yes:

that explains it
NEVER keep mods in the main dir, always make mod dirs or multiple FS dirs.

The old way should have worked too. That's exactly what I do. You must have had a rogue table somewhere.

Freespace (IIRC) checks in the main directory first for files, so that would've caused problems.
