Yes. Hacked tables suck.

Can the default FS2 standard tables, and lightspeed's graphically improved tables be approved?

That might just be a problem with the 3.6.5 mediaVPs, I got some tables from Firecrack, IIRC, and they got mixed up when I added them so that the ones in mv_effects were actually the multiplayer ones.

I've tried to fixx0r the problems in the 3.6.6 VPs, if you'd like to see them for validation I can provide copies.

I just extract the tables from MVcore and place them in the data directory and everything works allright for me. It still is rather a pain...especially for noobs. It should be fixed.

mv_aseffects and mv_effects caused hacked tables......like a week ago.

Don't know about now.

And what do you mean you "disabled" all media vp's? They should all be validated.

Not the tables in mv_aseffects.vp

you know I just had an idea, what if we have two ships tables, one for single player and one for multi-player, we'd just need two ship_info arrays and we chould change Ship_info into a simple pointer that was directed to wich ever array was relevent to the mode we were in.
by default if it couldn't fine a ships_multi table it would just have both the  single and multy arrays pointing at the same block.

rotfl

probability of dbase being hacked: 0%-0.0001%

probability someone with permissions to the db changed it without knowing what they were doing: >50%

I don't have any problems with it now, but I remember a while ago, when I installed a german campaign, I didn't get the hacked table message, but ingame almost all ships (inc fighters) could carry over 80 Helios, erinyes had a speed of 120 and so on.  that was a few months ago though.
