Hello, I am new here, and I am trying to make some mods for FSO, at this point I just modify the table files
However, I really miss a good VP editor... VPCS in the modding tools is very buggy, and limited... I could write an editor for VP files, but I need a specification for the format... I could not find such anywhere. So, does a specification even exist?

Someone who knows his stuff can tell about the specs, but as for good editors, try Maja (requires Java 1.5 or higher).

please note that, that particular version of maja may have a buggy pof editor, but it should be good for everything else.

Please note that I specifically linked to the tad bit older 0.85 version instead of the new 0.86 version. For that particular reason.

I tried Maja, but I can't figure out how to export a VP file... I go to the export package menu entry, save as vp file, and when I look in the folder I saved it - nothing   

[Jeff Vader]

Weird. I've never failed with it. Just get the data folder ready, Export Package (, remember to add the .vp extension yourself), wait until it's ready and voila: a vp. Don't know what could be wrong in your end.

The data folder is there(I am using fsport VPs though)... Really strange issue...

[Topgun]

try this version of maja.

[maxim4o]

Also, another issue, I am setting the output path to some folder(already created), and when I hit save... Error.
Edit: everything, however, works with version 0.80. Weird.

It's an issue in 0.85/0.86 - the menu option doesn't work, but the right-click option does.

Ah. Good to know.
