Title: Help needed to make an old mod work.
Post by: ChrisRiv91 on August 17, 2007, 04:02:32 pm: Hi, I've been playing Freespace for a long time and I've been playing around with the source code project for about 1 year. Not really learning how to do anything with it, just seeing all the improvements its made to Freespace. Now I finally want to know how to work with mods because I have a old mod (Tsunami to be exact) thats not working with the source code project and I really want to fix it. I followed all the directions of the FAQ, but it has not fixed my problem. My problem is when the game is loading up I get these table errors. If somebody could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to the mod http://archives.volitionwatch.com/download/fs2mod/tsunamimod.zip (http://archives.volitionwatch.com/download/fs2mod/tsunamimod.zip)

Post by: ChrisRiv91 on August 17, 2007, 05:37:34 pm: I'm double posting(sorry) so the post with the errors wouldn't get to messy,
I tried just deleting the Aurora weapon but that didn't work.

Post by: Getter Robo G on August 23, 2007, 04:27:09 pm: I'm sad to say this sounds a LOT like what happened when I tried to port RT 2.0 from retail to SCP. Never ending errors...

I had one or two suggestions, but they didn't work for me and since then no one has solved that issue (AFAIK) so unfortunately the only thing I can suggest is you got back to retail to enjoy Tsunami

OR

Start rebuilding it from scratch IN SCP version. That's what I had started to do with Robotech.

Post by: Wanderer on August 26, 2007, 02:02:37 pm: For starters open the the tsunami mod's weapons.tbl file and remove either of the two '+Miss Factor:' lines in Aurora weapon entry. Preferably the lower one as it makes no sense what so ever.

That solves the initial problem.
