Um, what? If it was 36k you wouldn't be able to load tables... its more like 6 megs

Exactly, that's why you cannot load ships.tbl or weapons.tbl with it. (at least the one included with WinME)

Thanks for the info! Limit of 380k huh? Hmm limit of 40 fighters for hud ani's? Does that mean you can have more than 40? Can you go without hud ani's for shields on opponents and just keep your own? I just tinkered with the SDF-1 and it's funny to see the main gun fire from a tiny ! Now it can fire front back and both sides... I was right next to it when I first tested it out and wow was I shocked Now if only max and the team release a transforming version I could die happy lol.

YOU can have as many ships as you can fit into the ships.tbl. Hud ani's are assigned by ship type, not IFF team.  If you are flying a herc II and your opponent is also in a herc II, both will have a hud ani.  If you are flying a mod not listed in the hud.tbl, and you opponent's ship is in the table, he will have an ani and you will not.

Point of reference- the HUD ani is the shield icon.  The 40 - ani limit is one of the mnost incredibly annoying things in Freespace modding, IMO.

Otherwise, every ship could have an icon.

Like support ships and escape pods.

I see, well I guess I just have to be particular in which ships I give ani's for then. But no way I'll setter for just 40 FTR's! As for knowing how much shields the others have left when a player uses them..."use the force".

    Besides every pilot should deal with fear once in a while.   (why aren't you an accountant then?)

It says to ask Dave if you need more.
