I oughta look around the Recent Builds subforum a bit more then. Be sure to post a sample table entry so we know how to get it to work, please.

The 10/28 build in the recent builds forum should have it, but that's the latest Xt-based build that was publicly announced.

As far as using it goes, it's exactly the same as using it in the mission file.  For instance, I use this tbm to have different textures on the Leviathan and Lilith:

Code: [Select]

#Ship Classes

$Name:      GTC Leviathan
+nocreate
$Texture Replace:
+old: fenris-htl
+new: levy-htl

$Name:      SC Lilith
+nocreate
$Texture Replace:
+old: cruiser03-03a
+new: cruiser03x-03a
+old: cruiser03-01a
+new: cruiser03x-01a

#End
And that's it.  It will use the same POFs, just change the textures.  And you can still use texture replacement in a mission as normal too.  It will just get added to the top of anything you specify in the ship entries.

None of the builds I've tried (up to the end of March) support this feature. Not the 10/28 build, not Goober's trunk build, not WMC's 3/23 build.

All of them end up with an empty techroom and an empty Ship lab.

It has to be a Xt build, so neither Goober's nor WMC's builds would have that code.  The 10/28 build should have worked though, assuming that you used the right one.

Nope, nothing. I tried the build you posted this weekend, and even tried a new ships.tbl consisting exclusively of the data on the Wiki, and I get no ships anywhere. This is really frustrating. I don't know what I can give you to help.

I haven't released a new Xt build since the 3/14 one.  All the ones that I've released since are just standard builds.  If you can't get it working with an Xt build (and you'll know it's an Xt build because I'll say so in the thread where you download it or it will have "Xt" in the filename) then just wait a while until I release a new public Xt build and try that one out.  I know that it works though, since my personal mediavps are modified to use it exclusively and they work fine, so it must be something on your end.
