Title: A Fred-Bug or a TBl-Error ??
Post by: Starman01 on March 18, 2005, 05:47:50 am

Hello,

I have a short question :

Fred refuses to save it, when I change the secondary loadout of enemy ships in the ships.editor. (I can select it, but after saving it is gone and set to the default again )

But I'm not sure this is a tbl-error or an FRED-Issue, maybe someone around here can give me a hint.

I'm using Fred2_Open 3.6.5, and the ships.tbl entry of the enemy looks like this :

$Default PBanks:        ( "Neutron" )
$Default SBanks:        ( "Dart Dumbfire" )


Is it maybe possible, that you have to give enemies also "allowed secondary banks" ? Though that isn't done in FS retail either.

FRED error. I had that problem all the time. Really annoying. On Mantis, taylor said he fixed it, but there hasn't been a new FRED build in forever, so none of the builds have the fix yet.

So in the meantime, Notepad looks like the best option to fix that.

I have the same problem. Couldn't fix with NotePad. :blah:
I am sure, this is just one bug that will never be fixed.

Or maybe it will be fixed in the next Fred build, whenever that gets released.  Be patient.

It will be if you don't touch the ship with Fred's weapon loadout subeditor after editing with Notepad.
