I'm getting a startup error with the original FRED2. I double click it's .exe and it spits out this gibberish:

Code: [Select]

Error: Error parsing 'weapons.tbl'
Error code = 2.

Yeah. When I tell it to break into the debugger it gives me more errors, and it keeps doing that when I try again. I suppose I could try redownloading the FRED Open thingie, and see if that works. However, if anybody wants to help me, that'd be great.

One last thing - with the FRED Open that I *do* have, I try opening that and it tells me DevIL.dll is missing. I've put it in the Freespace 2 directory, anything else I need to be doing?

That's caused by you having the FS2_Open VPs in your main FS2 folder.

Follow the instructions here to clean up your copy of FS2 and then reinstall FS2_Open if you want to. If you still require the devil.dll files then you have a pretty old copy of FS2_Open. Probably better to junk it and start again.

You may want to update your Fred builds, since we ditched DevIL a long long time ago.
