How do you get fred to work? i have inferno installed in a seperate folder, ie c:\games\freespace\inferno. but when fred loads up it just loads up the retail ship list. I tried moving fred into the inferno folder but no joy. so i extracted the files to the regular FS2 folders and when i boot up fred2 i get this

Error: weapons.tbl(1184):
Error: Required token = [+BeamSound:], found [+Miss Factor: 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 1.]
in weapon: SAAA.

and if i just extract the Ships table i get

i would also replace the anicent ships with some more Vasudan ones but i can't since fred gives me these errors. the build i am using is this fs2_open_inf_r_07052005, any clues

Cheers

You need to create a desktop shortcut for fred and add -mod 'the name of the folder inferno is in' after the exe name. So in your case -mod inferno

As for the errors looks like you don't have the SCP patch installed.

You can get it from here:
http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/R1.htm

You won't need an Inferno build after that unless you want to go over the 130 ship limit.

thats the thing, i do have the patch installed, and i tried the regular SCP builds the one i have got is fs2_open_G-20050728 and still get the same error when i extract the table files, but the weird thing is it works if i don't extract them and just use the inferno vps

[Woomeister]

indeed...
So you extracted the tables from INF_2Patch.vp and it causes that error? but leaving the tables in that VP file doesn't cause the error?

Oh you don't have any Sol A History files anywhere do you?


Actually I just looked at the two errors you posted.

1. No problems there, but there's a 2nd commented out miss factor line, but that shouldn't be causing the problems...

2. That error makes no sense, it's trying to jump from the beginning of the entry to the end...

Uh can you try a different build and see if it still happens? if it does see how many builds back you have to go before it stops happeneing.

I have got the problem solved i dunno how i did it or what went wrong, i deleted the inferno folder and re-installed it and now its working! i'm still using the same build fs2_open_inf_r_07052005 and it now works fine, i'm confused like but glad i can now fred!

Have never played Sol A History, but if it happens again i will try your suggestions.

Thanks very much for your help. Can't wait to see what R2 will be like, no matter how long it takes, i prefer high quality work rather than rushed and your teams work is brillant

Well I'm almost done my big reconversion of the capships. Just 10 more to go (out of 66)
4 Terran, 3 Vasudan, 2 Shivan and 1 EA ship left to do, and 2 of the Terran ones I can't do right now.

The high and low poly versions of the Odin took most of the day to redo. I'll either call it quits now or I'll do the Geb then call it a day.

Yeah i want to see hi-poly Odin! It's my favourite warship

I'll try to find a way to get screenshots off my laptop, since it handles the HTL models far easier than my desktop system.
