Media VP's and User created wepons.
Hello, I finally downloaded the 3.6.10 Media VP and well...

1. Should have done so much sooner as they look awesome!!!!

2. I want some of the effects the "Retail Weapons" got for my own creations.
     Right now I'm running 3.6.10_INF, mainly due to the number of weapons I have added, and have the weapons.tbl pasted in the table directory.
     I didn't remove the tbl when I added the Media_VP's but all the old weapons got new affects and there are a few shivian secondaries that where there before when I open FRED.  What I would like to do is consolidate the tbl, assuming it's pulling from another tbl and adding the two together some how and add a few affects to weapons I have added.
      The 2 effects I am looking at right now are:  The Rings from the Akheton SDG (to secondaries if possable) and the "trail" that the Cap ship primaries gained (the Green Terran Huge Turret has this)
      As I play around with the new stuff I will probably have more effects that I see and want to ad to added Weapons.

Thanks Andrew Cluetain

Why are you still using 3.6.10 anything?  3.6.12 is out and greatly superior.

[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

There's newer MVPs you can use, unless 3.6.10 is the most your system can handle, you're otherwise missing out.

Re: Media VP's and User created wepons.
Agreed, there's no reason not to use the 3.6.12 MVPs and executables.

Just finished updating to 3.6.12, no problems there.

Re: Media VP's and User created wepons.
Thanks, seems I have not been paying attention again, didn't even know about .tbm files, this will help a lot.

Sweet, now I don't need one huge tbl, I Can have separate tbm's for each origin of weapon!!  IE: Starwars-wep.tbm and a separate Startrek-wep.tbm

Thanks again
