Removing retail ships from FRED list
Hi guys,

I'm working with a lot of user made ships and would like to be able to remove the retail ships from the FRED ship list just to make it easier.

I've seen total conversion have done this and was hoping someone could anyone tell me how its done?

Re: Removing retail ships from FRED list
You need a new ships.tbl (or an edited version of an existing one) in your mods /tabels folder for that to work

Re: Removing retail ships from FRED list
Yup, just write a .tbl instead of a .tbm, including only the ships you want.

Re: Removing retail ships from FRED list
Sometimes I wonder if we could have a '+removeentry' to use in the place of '+nocreate' for cases like this. But then I think about the potential bugs and issues and conclude it's a lot of code work for a minimal convenience.

Re: Removing retail ships from FRED list
You could add the "no_fred" flag to the ships table entries (see Volition Bravos) - although that does leave a blank space in the drop down list.
