Does anyone have clean original FS2 tables?

With clean I mean tables without comments and such.

I had tables which I cleaned myself, but I lost 'em.
I don't wanna do that cleaning job anymore, ****ty as hell.

[Killfrenzy]

Is that clean as in containing only what the game NEEDS without all the things at the start or at the end of the rows?

Here's the cleaned up ships.tbl. It's not reorganized, though, like I usually do with my tables. Over 100k of junk was removed. Just rename it to ships.tbl.

Thanks a lot GE!
Do you happen to have weapons.tbl as well?

Edit:
You know... I have been using TBP tables so long that looking at original FS2 tables is strange...
"TFight6", "TFight22" and so on. You can imagine how I felt.

Well cleaned ships.tbl by the way.

I have a table cleaning program I whipped up in Basic the other day.  I'll post it if anyone's interested.

Yes, I can compile it to an EXE if necessary...

At least I'm not the only the one that was made to learn that crap.

It's not crap, it's fun!  I still use Basic occasionally.  (FYI, I did the table cleaner thing in QBasic.)

Just so you all know, I know other languages besides Basic.  But Basic is really good for simple jobs you want to get programmed fast, without having to worry about overhead, structure, efficiency, recompiling, and such.

hes right, basic isnt crap... its a joke... now lets all have a laugh at the lame attempt at a programming language

moving on... i think my tables need a little scrubbing

*pulls out a mop, laughs nerviously to himself, then leaves*

I used to know Basic......but forgot about 99% of it!

And is there a cleaned weapons.tbl?

Be glad you never had to use COMAL.... I spent something like 2 months trying to get a sodding database system working on that when I was in 2ndary school.  (wouldn't save & retrieve from file)

[Goober5000]

Boo to you all.

Here is the program.  Currently it's designed only for ship tables.  It'll probably work with weapons and other stuff, too, but it won't add a blank line between weapons.

EDIT: That link is broken; use this link instead.

[Killfrenzy]

COMAL? Never heard of it.......heard of COBOL though..........but then I'm trying to learn C++............

[CODEDOG ND]

Fortunatly they got us out of Basic and into Pascal and C++.

[Killfrenzy]

Sensible people.

[Galemp]

Moving right along:

Does the weapons.tbl even need to be cleaned? What kind of limits are on that?

[vadar_1]

same limit as everything else, 383.45kb max. However, it does not have the same effects as the ships table with too many entries.

[Killfrenzy]

If anything, the weapons.tbl could be a LOT smaller. How many defunct weapon entries ARE there?

[Liberator]

If you liked COBOL, you'd love RPG.

By the way, it may suck as a language, whowever as a programming enviroment it is excellent for teaching good practices for fledgling programmers(logical thought processes and such).

[Star Dragon]

My weapons table is at around 514kb. No big problems but the occasional out of nowhere crash (1 outta 10 games I think but not sure)

It's like the inbred cousin of BASIC.  I don;t think anyone outside my old school has used it for a decade.
