Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with the sounds on something I'm working on. Every time I try to load up FRED, it gives me this error:

Code: [Select]

sounds.tbl(line 2:
Error: Missing required token: [#Game Sounds Start]. Found [00 ]  instead.

I tried a few solutions including modifying the sounds.tbl, but they all puke up other errors such as needing a $name or #game sounds end.

I am using the latest 3.6.14 RC2 build. The only secondary mod I am using is the mediavps. It worked fine with no errors on debug before I added in a custom sounds.tbl.
fred2_open.log is attached.
The same problem also happens if I try to load up with regular freespace and not FRED.

the file is missing #Game Sounds Start at the start

[aeon48m]

I have that at the start...
I've attached the sounds.tbl I'm using.

Strange, because at that point your table is near identical to the retail table aside from the tabbing to make it more readable.

are you using the BP sound table?

[aeon48m]

I think I'm using the sample retail sounds.tbl from the wiki page, but with the turret rotation and elevation sounds and some custom sounds replacing some empty sound files.

[headdie]

I asked because there is stuff about the UEF at the bottom of the file

[aeon48m]

Wait, what? Now that you mention it, I found some stuff about UEF flybys or whatever too. I don't know how it got there, but I removed it and it still pukes up the same error.

[headdie]

try this, ran it on both FSO and FRED 3.6.14 RC2 debug with no issues on my rig

Thanks, that seems to have solved it.
