I'm close to changing my wep.tbm to a tbl. I've saved all the retail weapons I want on the file (AAAF, Shivan Beam cannons, Shivan Fighter Weapons). I have not however saved the retail missles. When I change it to a .tbl, will that make all the shivan missles unusable still or will they remain regardless of what I do?
-
I believe that the Shivan missiles will remain usable, as long as you define the mediavps as a secondary mod. Not 100% sure though. :)
-
oh right, I forgot about that. thanks Raven2001. appreciate the help.
-
I changed the tbm into a TBL but the weapons all go to stock FS2 weapons and all of the ones I want disappear. I tried changing the mod.ini's primary list to my mod, but that didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
-
No idea, without looking at the tables. Nut on the mod.ini, you should only have this in the multimod part:
[multimod]
secondarylist = mediavps_3612;
No primarylist.
-
It would help if you could post the weapons.tbl.
At a guess though, I would say that your problem lies in using a tbl in the first place. Always remember that only one weapons.tbl can exist, and that they overwrite each other. Also be aware that if you have a weapons.tbl in your mod directory, you will not get access to weapons defined in weapons.tbls from mods lower in the hierarchy (that is, retail and mvps). Also note that the -wep.tbms in the mvps only modify existing data, they do not create new entries by themselves.
-
here's the file. is the problem that it's NOT named weapons.tbl? I have it named something COMPLETELY different. I suppose that could cause it.
