Title: Beam Section problem
Post by: Molaris on April 13, 2012, 07:18:00 pm

I started getting this error when I added the Amaterasu's beam weapons to my table. For some reason, even though it had 3 sections, FS2 said it had too many. Now that I tried re-working the beams to have the stats and info from Blue Planet beams, I'm STILL getting the error. Is there something I'm missing?!? here's the coding for the 1 of the re-worked beams. it has 5 layers (the max), but I'm still getting the error message and it's really ticking me off.

Check if you don't have a .tbm with this beam. IIRC, by default, it'll add sections rather than override them.
