Title: Data Tables
Post by: thegatekeeper17 on May 04, 2001, 06:06:00 pm
I have the ships and the electrobeams that are at the MOD section, but I can't figure out how to get the ships.tbl or the weapons.tbl to paste the sets, and the names for some of the files of the two ships are the same so I get a "replace?" question. I don't know if changing the name will have any effect. If anybody can help I'd be grateful.

Are you editing with wordpad?

Extract the tables using VPView, then edit them in Wordpad or notepad. Otherwise, TBLview won't let you edit them.

Although, I think there is a new version of TBLView that does let you edit it...try looking on the VBB.

As for the textures, just let the existing files be overwritten - they are just duplicated in case you want to download a single mod...
