Where are the *.tbl files?
Hey all,

I'm trying to get the game up and running in debug mode so that I can muck around with the code.

After making a couple of hacks (dxshow.h isn't on my computer and I didn't know about the launcher back then) I was able to get the game running in debug mode.

But when I uninstalled the retail version that I had on the same computer, the "Source Code Project" version started crashing. It seems, that I'm missing all the *.tbl files.

I tried looking in the web cvs, but couldn't find any tbls there. I don't have access to the retail disks anymore and the freespace2 on Kazaa doesn't seem to have those tbls.

So where can I get those tbl files and where do I put them? And while, I'm at it, what other files might I be missing?

Thanks

PS: The crash seems to be caused by a longjmp in PARSELO.cpp:read_file_text not jumping to the right location when looking up the second tbl file; pixels.tbl

FS2_open requires all the VP files included with FS2 retail to work. If you download all the .vp files using the FTP server in  this thread, you should have everything you need to get FS2 running again.

The .tbl files are contained in "root_fs2.vp"
