Sorry for double postage but here are the first fixes.. Nothing animation related yet though

Remove all "ballistic primaries" in ships.tbl
Change all "door" to door in ships.tbl
Change all "inital" to initial in ships.tbl
Add file exp_merc_0014.dds
Add file exp_fire_0013.dds
Change exp plasma to exp_plasma in sec-wep.tbm line 103
Change ""show ship" ballistic primaries" to "show ship" "ballistic primaries" in ships.tbl line 1354
Add default primary weapons to primary bank #3 in GTF Chaos in ships.tbl line 1124
ive done most of those already post release. also implemented use of modular ship tables to aid in troubleshooting. in the process i discovered a couple problems. first off because all the default ships are being loaded, nukemod is now 3 ships over the limit. and second, because its now loading all the new explosion graphics from the media vp, my explosions seem to bust that limit as well. in the absence of an inferno build i just patched it temporatily with a slightly culled media vp ships.tbl and the explosion thing for now im just letting slide as it doesnt seem to cause any crashes.
anyway i fixed the first 4. 5 and 6, the 2 missing files, completely baffeled me. it seems one of my frames vanished from each of those animations. not sure where they went to, and i dont have a backup copy anywhere. so i just shorteed the anis and changed the file names. the 7th one i totally missed and im gonna fix it now. and 8 and 9 i also caught and fxed. also i was able to get initial positions to work on the gtcv ragnarok, but not on the pvac apis (dispite the fact that i used the same code on both).
*edit*
seems 7 was causing freespace to report a too many animations error message. it no longer pops up in debug builds.
Nuke, you gonna do that and release a tbl fix?
yea, i think im gonna start doing frequent updates of the dev version, mainly for axem's sake. but not yet, my animations still dont seem to work. ive reached the limits of the debug builts and so any errors need to be hunted down manually at this point. theese bugs really dont change the mods ability to run or make any not working features work. its just minor tidying up, so il update when i clean up a few other messes i have laying around the mod.
another thing that boggles my mind, no matter how small i make the engine glows of the pf chimera, they still apear as one big glow at the back of the fighter. anyone by chance know whats up there?
*another edit*
my door animation on the rumrunner seems to work, though that ship does require some revamping. so i know the animation code is working, if not on everything. i also added a flare eff to replace the older ani versions. il post an update at the end of next weekend, which will have cumulative fixes and additional features built up over the week.
*yet another edit*
thanks to axem the rumrunner has somewhat working gatling turrets on it. still no workee chimera and no default turret positions on the apis.
