Putting them all in the same table doesn't work either. Same problem, same place.


BTW, I counted the number of ships, and there are 129 entries. So it shouldn't be a problem with too many ships.

Ok then.. Inferno limit is 250. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,38991.0.html and that includes all the ships from the main ships.tbl and from all the -shp.tbms

Hmm.. $Detail distance: is supposed to be before $ND: fields

[Shadow0000]

Are the main tables from Inferno or from the Inferno SCP patch as the later one has some fixes included..

You should have used mine from start (the weapons.tbl included in the update), it doesn't have the Earth.pof entry....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your TBM seems very much like the one I already have for Solar Wars (without the Archangel). You have the same problem as mine, I don't have the Nightmare weapons entry in the TBL (primary/secondary/beam) and they're specified in the Ships.tbl. Replacing Nightmare weapons by Shivan ones, surely result in an unbalanced Solar Wars....

I switched the weps on the Nightmare entries to avoid problems........ are you saying that could actually have created them?

And while I'm at it: To use Inferno ship/weapon limits on tables.... do you have to be running an Inferno-optimized build, or just using a vp very similar to Inferno's?

[Dark Hunter]

I changed the location of $Detail Distance, replaced a couple of tables in my data folder with those on the Patch.... AND IT IS WORKING WITH NO ERRORS!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you all for your help, it has been very informative!

Well, yes aren't those nightmare bomber, from Babylon, I can't confirm, I have even an idea on that series, however weren't the bad guys the so called B5 Nightmare. That would mean the weapons must by in the TBP tables, until I am wrong (I can't say if I am...).

Anyways,  you checked the "head" of the Vinaashak and the Nightmare Destroyer, I think someone cheated here, well not, but they seems to be from the same species with different texturing.

And while I'm at it: To use Inferno ship/weapon limits on tables.... do you have to be running an Inferno-optimized build, or just using a vp very similar to Inferno's?

For using INF R1 table you can use any build, it doesn't matter....

But if your adding ships to the TBL, remember If you pass the 130 ships entries in the Ships.TBL you need to use an Inferno Build, any works, it doesn't need to be optimized. I get a limit of 100 ships by Mission with an standard build, I believe it was 130, but FRED2 just make the rest of the ships dissapear.

Didn't know the Nightmares had a connection to any series, I just thought it'd be cool to introduce a new thing in my campaign.

[Shadow0000]

I didn't know too when I play Solar Wars, however if you play Solar Wars, you should have noticed that those figthers  were worst than the FS1 vasudan's Anubis, and also the species overall, that was because the ships barely were armed due to missing entries for their weapons.

[Dark Hunter]

It is mentioned in their tech data that they're lightly armed and work best in large swarms. But if they're too terrible I'll just tweak their table entry a bit. Unless that's illegal due to copyrights on new models?

They're not. They'd 100% Aldo's creation AFAIK. The bad guys from B5 were the Shadows not the Nightmares.
