i notice the weapon models feature isnt working in any of the newer builds. i know it was committed but it will not work in any of the newer builds. was it disabled or just accidently broken?

[Bobboau]

is it just not showing up in game or are you haveing table parseing problems, someone changed the table syntax

[WMCoolmon]

Yeah, you should know by now that "IT NO WORKIE!!!!1111!!11" isn't a particularly helpful bug report.

I heard that it was crashing in-game, but I doubt that's a table thing. and IIRC I tried to keep support for the way Bobb had done it.

[Nuke]

i had assumed it was disabled but wanted to know for sure. but sence neither of you knew about it not working its definately a problem. its a parsing thing as far as i know. it works the second i remove the $Show Weapon Models: entrys from the table. all the other tags get parsed fine.

i get this when the tags are presant:

Error: ships.tbl(417):
Error: Required token = [$AI Class:], found [)]
in ship: PF HellBat.

File:U:\src\cvs\fs2_open.testing\code\Parse\PARSELO.CPP

now the same tables work fine in older cvs builds that had the vwep code.  ship flags arent getting processed, it cannot find $ai class:. if you remove $show weapon models: it will load just fine. this is my table:

[Grimmeehh]

isnt that a custom ship ?

models are working fine for mein the 30/05/05 version, not grabbed the latest one yet though..

[Nuke]

yea, but the other tables parse fine.  its the ships.tbl thats refusing to load. the newest build ive been able to use was fs2_open_C03122005_o.exe. after that stuff stopped working.

[Bobboau]

he wraped the code for loading the bools into a parse bool list function, I think you need to specify a yes or no for every bank, and they need to be in quotation marks and need to have comas between them, but I'm not sure all I know is the syntax changed to something and I didn't feel like fighting with it at that moment

[WMCoolmon]

OK, based on your error I guessed that I forgot to increment Mp somewhere, and it looks like I did. Try out the next build.

Also, while commas should work, I'd like to phase it out as every other list type doesn't use them. So bool lists should look like:

Code: [Select]

$Variable: (yes no yes)

[Nuke]

cool, thanks, i await your build.
