If i'm not wrong fs starts to parse the table and encounters 'unknown' or rather badly placed entry $end_multi_text (the first one).. try either removing it or add something like +Description: XSTR( " ", -1) just before it - after the $species: line.

Can you also show a sample of a multipart turret entry?

And do you have proper species_defs.tbl file?

Okay, I'll remove that line.  MPturret ship.tbl entry and species_def.tbl (in the form of a .txt file) below:
$Subsystem:         turret07,3.0,1.5
   $Default PBanks:         ( "2Xmp 45mm Laser" )
   $animation triggered
   $type: initial
   +relative_angle:         90,0,0

Vid card should be fine, but why are you using drivers that are so old? Try upgrading to something more recent and see if that makes any difference.

For the simple reason that I didn't know there WHERE more recent drivers...   It's not something I would think about...

Add : to the animation trigger line. In other words, replace $animation triggered with $animation: triggered

And as your current species_defs.tbl doesn't enable Cylon or Colonial 'species' you perhaps ought to change all the $Species: to normal Terran, Vasudan and Shivan and grab for example this species_defs.tbl (easy solution)

EDIT: And if you want to.. change +Sec_Normal:, +Sec_Afterburn:, +Ter_Normal:, +Ter_Afterburn:, +Normal:, and +Afterburn: entries of the 'selected' species to the same as in the respective cylon and colonial entries in your original species_defs.tbl

Grab these and see if it makes a difference: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html

Thanks for your help people, it now only complains about asteriods.tbl, but runs fine (apart from model reated troubles, but that's nothing new)

BTW, which of the new weapon .tbl entries work?  I noted quite a few say 'Implermented before 3.6.5', and I just tried the +weapon min Range: and $Arm Delay: ones, and Fs didn't work.

[Wanderer]

Even those should work... Did you add those to their proper places? And if you did, does the debug build complain about those entries?

[Raptor]

Opps, my bad.  Just tried them again and works fine.  Must have put one in wrong or something...

Though SwarmWait: on a primary with Swarm: 2 dosn't...

BTW, who was it that was overhaulling the turret code?  Have a few ideas about that if their interested...

[Wanderer]

+SwarmWait: works for sure.. I use it all the time

Just check the spelling, position and also note that it uses seconds...  (just fixed the wiki entry )

Try these:

Code: [Select]

$Swarm:                       2
+SwarmWait:                   0.100
Also note that 0value is ignored as are all the values that might cause the total swarming time (swarmwait x swarm count) to be longer than the firewait time.

Ah, that explains that. Thanks
