I'm getting tons of "Subsystem blah in ships.tbl not found in model!"

Be it turret, turret-destroyed and even "ighterbay", yes missing the "f".  
One thing about turret-destroyed missing, I ran a test mission and when i destroyed the turret the turret-destroyed shows up correctly.

With the fighterbay errror the Specials name is "fighterbay01", I've got several paths parent set to "fighterbay01" and the table is setup as:

$Subsystem:         fighterbay01, 35, 0.0

Also noted that fighters will actually launch from them.

make sure the subsystems in the model match the ones in its table entry. a big one is $communication in the tabele and $communications on the subobject. they got to match letter for letter. as for everything else you may have heirarchy issues. no batter what the names of the subobject groups have to perfectly match the table entries.

[Scooby_Doo]

Ok let me start with the formidable destoryer since it's got only one subsystem as of the moment (a gun turret)

the COB hierarchy is:

-base
     -box17
     .....
     -turret01
          -base
          -turret01-arm
                -arm_1
                -arm_2
                -arm_3
                -turret01-fp-01
                -turret01-fp-02
                -turret01-fp-03
     -turret01-destroyed
          -base
          -LocLight


Once it gets converted PCS reports in turrets as:
Parent Data: 08(turret01)   Physical SOBJ Parent:09(turret01-arm)
Number of firepoints 3

in the table:

It's either something stupid I overlooked or something more problematic.

do all four engine subsystems exist in the model? it may not even be the turret. also be sure the turret has a $special=subsystem in its subsystem properties.

[Scooby_Doo]

$engine_subsystem=$engine01 all the way to 4

AH HA!!!
the subsystems was completely empty.  for some reason pcs didn't add the necessary data:
$special=subsystem
$fov=180
$name=GunTurret

Strange thing is the gilgamesh, which i just release a little while ago, does have it 

I'll report back in a few after I get everything back to normal

[Scooby_Doo]

It looks like that was the problem... Someone should either put this heads up in wiki or pcs tutorial page.

Thanks Nuke, should name a ship after you

well did you use autogen for your turrets or do you set them up maunally? i find if you dont add -base to your main turret group, autogen seems to screw up. turrets are pretty much 2nd nature to me, can pretty much get anything to work now.
