Could someone please tell me what the point of the 'D' varient weapons is? I mean the weapons like 'Subach HL-D' etc.

Redoing weapons tbl, as it did not work with campains for some reason....

EDIT: oh, and why do some weapons have a @ in front of their name?

eg $Name:@Subach HL-D

@ was for weapons in the demo.

The -D suffix means 'dogfight' version - lower power weapons for multiplayer.

And does it have any effect in the game if I put the @ front of its name, or it is just informing like the ;?

so is it safe to remove the @ and dogfight versions from my weapons table?

Asking because with my old table while flying single missions within the mission simulator, I had no problems. But if I tried to fly a campain, none of the primary weapons would be displayed/allowed/reconised.

Imagine trying to play the main campain with only your missiles!

You sure you configured the campaign loadouts correctly from FRED's campaign manager? You have to include the initially allowed weapons there too.

Yes, that was one of the first things I checked.

I'll check again if, after this rebuild, it's still messing up.

I was having that problem with FRED's camp editor, too. It began to work suddenly, after I unchecked all weapons/ships, save, and then rechecked the allowed weapons and ships. It began to work for me.

I am certain it is safe to remove the dogfight weapons, but I am not sure if removing the @ is safe.

Well removing the Dogfight weapons is safe, as long as you're not playing a campaign which needs them

I don't believe they work outside of multiplayer anyway.

They sorta do, they appear on the HUD but make no difference.

In other words they don't work
