It is just.... scary how fast you are responding to my posts.  :shaking:

I think it is likely an error in that new ship then. Does the error make any sense when applied to it?

Yes, the GTMI Aule (or Shark right now). Errr... bump the release date to December 11th 2012  ;)
All the ships that I have added are in the campaign's profile.

Aule?A ship with the name of a God(J.R.R.T)?

That's strange, however, I got that error when I used 3.6.8 Zeta mediavps with the 3.6.7 build. Be sure it's not just a table editing problem...
Where's karajorma?He can help you out...

About crucial soul's mission:
1)You may put Aries in conjuction with a bomber wing. Make Aries jump closer to the convoy and  the bomber wing jump far...a bit, however.
2)An Installation is always near a planet or a moon,put them.
3)There where too many docking rings.
4)The briefing needs fixing.First of all do not put names written all with capitol letters, like COLOSSUS.The freighters' icons work better without the name upon them in this case,the last stage is a bit chaotic(there is the freighter wing icon,pretty useful).
5)When the Violet arrives, it destroys a freighter with its beam and the mission fails.
6)To explain better the situation,single missions have Command Briefings.You should create one and talk about the reconstruction of the Colossus,the post Capella,bla bla....
7)Not important this one...Why you put GTC,GTI and GTD on a ship's name?

GTD Leda
GTD Hecate

That's strange.You should call a ship with its name,without "desinence".It is used many times in FS1, in FS2 just in the loop(where the difference between NT and GT is important!),but it isn't intended to be used always...

Yeah the NTFC Saharan made me laugh my head off until I found I was being killed by AAA, flak and my own squadmates.

But the error doesn't even correspond to the Aule. It corresponds to the Sobek. This TBL error also occurs with Neo-Terra Victorious (I was making a single mission based on NTV Tables). Weird thing is, it worked, but now it doesn't and I haven't changed any settings. I began happening when I tried to delete all the Shivan ships...

You should ask someone expert, like karajorma.

Please, keep the discussion about other missions to their own thread. The campaigns list is for reporting on campaign status, not single mission discussion.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

There's already a topic about this subject elsewhere and giving support on two different threads is always a nightmare so the off topic on this thread should be split off anyway. Unfortunately since Missions and Campaigns was liberated from the FRED forum I no longer have moderator rights here. Leaving the only moderator someone who's an admin now anyway :D

Bear in mind that I only know the basics of table editing so someone like Wanderer is a better person to ask for help in this matter and I believe he's already offered to help on the other thread if he can see the table.

To LieutenantGeneralMobius,

thnx for the info and comments, never thought about all that stuff, i will get to work on it right away. just to let u know i have decided to make a campaign, still working on the storyline and stuff and i will get to work soon. The mission i posted before will be in the campaign but will be much different.

the reason for these GTD, GTVA, NT etc. is to tell the player who the ship belongs to. Obviously i wont be using any random letters all of these will make sense in the campaign.

I do what the main campaign actually did; use the alternate name feature to reflect the ship's allegiance.

"Desinence"? :wtf: You mean, prefix?

Prefixes are used, or not used, according to the whim of the mission designer.  Both ways are used in both FS1 and FS2, so you can use whatever you prefer.  In ST:R, we use the prefix to designate allied vessels and the absence of a prefix to designate rebel vessels.

I do what the main campaign actually did; use the alternate name feature to reflect the ship's allegiance.

The only place in FS2 where this is used is SM1-03.  It appears nowhere else, not even in missions by the same mission designer.  I'd call it an anomaly.

Eh? You're certain?

I swear they altered the class prefix in more then one mission.

I grepped every retail FS2 mission for "#Alternate Types", and that was the only mission that had them. :)

What about the 'Unknown' alt name (used for the Ravana and Sathanas).

That has nothing to do with allegiance.

The IFF also tells the player on which side a ship is.If the ship is also present in the escort list,if you have 3.6.9,allied ships are shown in green and hostile ships in red.
If you target a ship or a fighter/bomber,you istantly know if it's friendly or not....

To Goob:I wrote "desinence" because I didn't know how do you call it in english.

V designers aren't some kind of FRED gods,they can do things not 100% correct. Personally I use the prefix SL- for all rebel ships and fighters of the SLA.
The same is for the NTF.
