I've been having problems with a custom weapons.tbl.

Basically, the game crashes back to the desktop whenever i select 'weapons' in the techroom.  I think it could be something to do with the editited weapons.tbl file, but I'm not sure exactly what - especially as it was crashing after I'd added only a single beam weapon to the standard file.   The weapons themselves work fine in FREd and FS2.

Any suggesstions why?

  Could be caused by a non-existant tech ani file or loadout ani

i encounter this bug when trying to install a new weapon but then i usually forget the pof or the pcx file i think when it goes to the weapon it loads the pcx files? maybe i am wrong maybe i am right who knows

it has to do with the table... once we get the source that will be one of the first things corrected

WHEN being the operative word i will be the first person crawling my way through it with a load of other programmers trying to improve it and adding a new way to view cutscenes because do u really think they are going to give us that?

Aldo, that is a bug that FS has, if you change the weapons .tbl, you can't go to the tech room...  

Speaking of the source code... are those brains at V going to relaese it or what? I just don't get it...

[Fozzy]

I think it has somthing to do with those numbers at the end of the descriptions because if i over wright an exsisting weapon it works fine

[The Avenger]

i will speak to V about the matter for u

I don't even consider asking when V are releasing the source. It's got to the point where it's almost as bad as asking when we're going to see FS3. I'm pretty sure it's asked daily on the VBB but I don't go there anymore, it's downright depressing to see the petty squabbling, needless flaming and general lack of respect for other members (especially newbies)

The VBB hasn't worked for a few days now  

But there weren't many posts about the source. Luckily all the n00bs don't even know it's a possibility  

daveb actually answered a post about it a few days back, saying he had lobbied for the release of the source. I guess there's just the regular Interplay ignorance and the fact that they're being sold

But the ships.tbl uses the same thing yet it works fine with new entries... maybe it's a combination of problems...

That would be significantly hard since the VBB isn't working  

[Bobboau]

it was a long time ago, and sence then V has aproved the idea, and is whaiting on Interplay.

Hmmmm.... so that means that we will never see the source code  

Btw, what could we change in FS with the Source Code??

[Nico]

polycount, vertice count, ship count in missions, ani as background and to map ships, self illuminated maps, multiple jumps troughout a single mission, fixed weapon on some ships, bareled turrets on vertical surfaces, more explosion and warp ani allowed, bogger ship and weapon tbl allowed... should I continue?

IMHO those will be the ones that would have the most drastic effect on things in general.

*sigh* I can see it now: swirling, shifting nebule... slowly spinning planets with moons orbiting around them...
pulsing pulsars... comets with flickering tails... maybe even a mini-battle scene for all you Battle of Endor wannabe's!
