back to topic:
I did ofcourse test it quite a lot before i released it.
and so far I have had no troubles.
Tested on fs2_open, fred2_open, fs2.exe,fred2.exe
maybe your file is bad in the first place. and if it is, then its not a good idea to use the cleaner on it. since it is designed to work on flawless TBL files, which should be elementary knowledge.
there can be plenty of error sources, but if you stick to the way Volition did the TBL file, you should have no problems.
Also, use a Genuine TXT editor like ultraedit or notepad.
To test if it is FS2(whatever version) that dont like it, or it is your TBL file that is bad, simply take the original Volition TBL(DONT MODIFY IT, ONE BIT) file and run it through the cleaner,and start up fred2 using the cleaned version of the original Volition TBL file.
If fred2 accepts that file, then its your TBL file that is bad in the first place.
This is called counter checking.
many sources of error reports is usually the user reporting the error.
or better known as Error #60.
error is 60 Cencimeters from the screen
.
but counter check, and report back please.
thank you.
