[starbug]

I have created a new  weapons TBM for some Capital ship weapon ideas but whenever i run freespace i get this message



now i have just upgraded from the 3.6.10 to fs2_open_3_6_10_RC2 and i never got that message when running the 3.6.10, Can someone look at the table and tell me if there is anything wrong?

PS all the effects are in the correct folders and i have created my own mod folder for this so i don't screw up the main FS2. I also created new muzzle flashes for the weapons as well.

Here is what is in the tbm

Use a debug build. That will tell you more or less exactly what is wrong. Remember to run it in windowed mode to catch all error messages.

[starbug]

Aahhh seems it was the fire down normal flag that done it.

[chief1983]

Also, you might want 3.6.12 RC1 at this point.  And 3.6.10 is newer than 3.6.10 RC2, although you might have been using a 3.6.10 pre-release build.  That's why we skipped to 3.6.12 now instead of calling the new release 3.6.11, hopefully there will be less RC builds floating around than all of the 3.6.10 builds that got created.

Ok i have got my weapons to work fine now i am having a wee problem with a ship, the weapon does not fire from the turret but instead fires from the center of the ship, the particles for the beam charge up forms around the turret but it fires from the centre, as shown in the screenshots here



Now i take it, it has to do with the pof data so, what would i need to do in PCS? i have taken a screen shot of the what it is at the moment for the said turret.



the data in the normal box is
0.000000:0.000000:1.000000
don't know if that is important

If the images are to small i can resize them

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Well that physical detail2 can't be good. 

[Droid803]

change the physical to turret01

[starbug]

Cheers guys, thats me up and away! 

[Wanderer]

So the issue got resolved?

[starbug]

Yeah i fixed the issue, just changed the physical to the proper turret, I have had to do it to of the anicent ships from the Anicent Shivan war mod. after playing it i noticed that lot of the ships in that mod seem to have the turrets linked to the detail and not the turret.

That's strange...
I'll notify FSF.

* FSF blames PCS2

Good catch.
