Hi, I've been playing Freespace for a long time and I've been playing around with the source code project for about 1 year.  Not really learning how to do anything with it, just seeing all the improvements its made to Freespace.  Now I finally want to know how to work with mods because I have a old mod (Tsunami to be exact) thats not working with the source code project and I really want to fix it.  I followed all the directions of the FAQ, but it has not fixed my problem.  My problem is when the game is loading up I get these table errors.  If somebody could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to the mod http://archives.volitionwatch.com/download/fs2mod/tsunamimod.zip

 I'm double posting(sorry) so the post with the errors wouldn't get to messy,
I tried just deleting the Aurora weapon but that didn't work.

[ShadowGorrath]

So is anyone going to/did help out here ?

[Getter Robo G]

I'm sad to say this sounds a LOT like what happened when I tried to port RT 2.0 from retail to SCP. Never ending errors...

I had one or two suggestions, but they didn't work for me and since then no one has solved that issue (AFAIK) so unfortunately the only thing I can suggest is you got back to retail to enjoy Tsunami

OR

Start rebuilding it from scratch IN SCP version. That's what I had started to do with Robotech.

[Wanderer]

For starters open the the tsunami mod's weapons.tbl file and remove either of the two '+Miss Factor:' lines in Aurora weapon entry. Preferably the lower one as it makes no sense what so ever.

That solves the initial problem.

I suggest you read http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,48936.msg992866.html#msg992866 where we told you that this mod does not work because the tables have multitudes of problems, and would need to be completely re-written.
