Question regarding VP files
Ok, I know this is a newbie question, but I still need to ask it because the FRED and VPVIEW tutorial didn't give me an answer.

How does one input all the table and model info into a vp file such that to activate a newly created campaign test?

CP, I know you did this for your Procyon Insurgency campaign; could you (or anyone else) give me some info on this?

Just get it right first time. Reloading projects always ended in tears for me.

Question regarding VP files
Ok, I got the VP constructor working and I made a new vp file.

Here's another question: how do I modify an already constructed vp file? All I want to do is replace an old ship.tbl file with a new one. Is there any way to do that without having to build a new vp file from scratch?

If you have saved the "vpp project file," you can load it back up in the program and recompile the vp with the new ships.tbl. Otherwise, I think you have to start from scratch, at least if you are using this program.

I had not heard of this program before but it looks quite neat. I need to try this out when my computer is back up...
