Title: Ships.tbl error
Post by: aeon48m on April 20, 2012, 11:31:43 am: Trying to get a new fighter in-game, copy+paste the Atalanta tables from BP2 and modify it accordingly but this happens.

It gives me an error about how it's an invalid token every line, and breaks debug builds by simply having too much error in it.
I have no idea why this is happening, and I tried plainly copy+pasting the BP2 table and simply changing the name, but that breaks it too. :banghead:

Both the debug log and the full ship table are attached.

Post by: headdie on April 20, 2012, 11:45:58 am: To add one ship all you need is

#ship classes

[ship info]

#end

by copying the BP file you have duplicated things that the Engine dosent like duplicating like engine wash, also BP and FSO 3.6.14 RC5 dont play well together.

I suggest you wipe out everything in the file, enter "#ship classes" a couple of hard returns and "#end" (Without the speach marks, then copy the entry for 1 fighter and paste it in between, then edit the entry as needed. this way you keep it simple, you are less likely to duplicate things and errors are easier to find, if you need another ship once you have got the current one working just past it between the #lines work away on it

I only copied the table for the Atalanta, not the entire BP file, and what I'm trying to make isn't related to BP.

However, I tried what you said and that actually did the trick. Thanks again! :)
