There in the Root VP in the main Fs2 Directory
You'll need the VpView to get it and extract

Oh... and

to the HLP

Edit: somebody else will direct you to everything you need to know, but not me at the moment

Get VPVIEW32 from www.freespace-2.com

Hey, if you're interested in joining up with a big mod, I need a lot of tabling work done

(And no, it's not an small mod by an inexperienced crew, either, so check it out. )

how do i extract the info and beable to edit the info in notpad. i got the viewer but how do get at the info to edit it?

                Thanks

1) Install vpview, open root_fs2.vp with it.
2) Find the table file you want (in data/tables) and hit the extract to dir button
3) Select a dir and extract to it
4) Open up notepad, browse to the dir where you saved the table, and double click to open it

When you're done, put the edited table in your freespace2/data/tables directory and run freespace 2.

Check my FAQ. Specifically the Directory Structure page and GE's VPView tutorial.

Coolmon pretty much summarised it. Welcome to HLP, bluetorino.

[karajorma]

Yeah. But GE's section will help him figure out what to do once he's got it out of the VP

I've got to work on moving it over to the Wiki at some point

Thanks guys. give me a couple of days to master editing before i start on any big mod projects. Thanks again
