Question about wep.tbl and weapons
I'm close to changing my wep.tbm to a tbl. I've saved all the retail weapons I want on the file (AAAF, Shivan Beam cannons, Shivan Fighter Weapons). I have not however saved the retail missles. When I change it to a .tbl, will that make all the shivan missles unusable still or will they remain regardless of what I do?

Re: Question about wep.tbl and weapons
I believe that the Shivan missiles will remain usable, as long as you define the mediavps as a secondary mod. Not 100% sure though. :)
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

Re: Question about wep.tbl and weapons
I changed the tbm into a TBL  but the weapons all go to stock FS2 weapons and all of the ones I want disappear. I tried changing the mod.ini's primary list to my mod, but that didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Question about wep.tbl and weapons
No idea, without looking at the tables. Nut on the mod.ini, you should only have this in the multimod part:

[multimod]
secondarylist = mediavps_3612;

No primarylist.

Re: Question about wep.tbl and weapons
It would help if you could post the weapons.tbl.

At a guess though, I would say that your problem lies in using a tbl in the first place. Always remember that only one weapons.tbl can exist, and that they overwrite each other. Also be aware that if you have a weapons.tbl in your mod directory, you will not get access to weapons defined in weapons.tbls from mods lower in the hierarchy (that is, retail and mvps). Also note that the -wep.tbms in the mvps only modify existing data, they do not create new entries by themselves.

Re: Question about wep.tbl and weapons
here's the file. is the problem that it's NOT named weapons.tbl? I have it named something COMPLETELY different. I suppose that could cause it.
