I've been looking everywhere for hud_guages.tbl and I can't seem to find anything. the wiki says hood_guages requires SCP but it doesn't seem to exist anywhere in any of the vp files. I noticed that diaspora has that table in its root.vp does that mean it must be found externally?

hud_gauges.tbl, just like armor.tbl and scripting.tbl, is one of a few table files that are strictly optional, and will not be found in retail FS2.
(Also note that you do not need to use the full hud_gauges.tbl, a -hdg.tbm suffices)
-
I figured as much. So where do I find these optional files?

What do you mean? In mods that use them (and not every mod does), they'll be in the respective tables directories (or the tables directory in the mod's vp files).

You either copy one from another mod, or make one from scratch. The wiki (http://hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Hud_gauges.tbl) articles for (http://hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Armor.tbl) those tables (http://hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Scripting.tbl) tell you what fields are available, which are optional, and what order they go in.
If you're looking for a hud_gauges.tbl that's equivalent to the default HUD, I think the reference provided in this post (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=84340.0) should still be accurate.
