Long-lost weapons table found!
I've heard it said that no one knows where to find the weapons data for the Nightmare ships. Well, I was digging around in a bunch of VP files I have, and I found the weapons hidden in the table data for Into the Depths of Hell, Chapter 4 VP!

I copied them into my own mod and tested them on the Nightmare Destroyer.... they work perfectly, and I've never seen anything like that BViolet beam....

*Dark Hunter wishes to know where in the Internet Noise found the data*

Post 'em up, why don't you!

Along with instructions of exactly where to put the damn things in the weapons tbl, as i've never had much luck sticking stuff in there... :nervous:

Bviolet?  Ah yeah, now I remember... There was a time when Reciprocity files were up for DL. I must have grabbed them at that time. Had no idea they have been used since.

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
I would post them up if I could, but I don't have a file hoster site......

I've put together a .tbm file with all of them in it: beams, turrets, fighter lasers, swarm missiles, bombs.

But at the moment it has developed a minor table error, so I'll have to be fixing that before sending it to anyone...


EDIT: Wow, that was easy! Ok, then the table is ready, I believe. Mefustae, I'll send it to you via e-mail, mayhap you could get it hosted somewhere (like hades-combine?). Once, again, I'd do it myself, but to submit something to hades-combine must already be hosted elsewhere...

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
Just been looking in it - it does indeed have about 80% of the nightmare table data

It is missing the AI data (no major loss) but it is missing data for the NSlash (Used TerSlash as template), Nightmare Laser weapon (which I've used Nightmare Fighter Laser for, with increased damage), nBomb and nCluster (which I've used the terran equivilents for)

The destoryer model throws a wobbley in the debug builds, but seems OK in regular :)

It had a Vslash, is that something different? I also noticed a Nightmare Bomb, is "nBomb" different as well?
I'm a little disappointed that not all the data was in there, but hey, this is great for those (like me) who have the Nightmares but not their weapons!

I'll check out badongo.com, maybe get them hosted there. If I do, I'll submit them to Hades Combine as well.

Silly it might seem to you, but some people try to keep up a moral code. I am one of those people, and I know I draw the line in bizarre places.

I already gave it to Mefustae, don't know if he's received it, or if he did, what he did with it.

The destoryer model throws a wobbley in the debug builds, but seems OK in regular :)

9 times out of 10 that means that the problem has simply been passed on to somewhere else in the code where it will sit and lurk before causing crashes when you least expect it.

Fix whatever the problem is.

If I knew how/had the tools I wouldn't hesitate Kara :( I wouldn't know where to start, which is why I mentioned it

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
Telling us what happens when you run the debug build is a very good start. If it gives you an error message (especially if it's an assert) post it up.

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
Strange, I've never had any problems with the Nightmares....

btw, what is the point of this table. How am i to use this ?

The point is that you have some very cool new weapons to use, preferably in conjunction with the Nightmares... but they'd work with other ships too. You need to know how to edit tables to do it. It's a really simple operation, requires only Notepad.

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
Oh, i see, it's geared towards campaign/mission builders then. I don't even know what Nightmares are (I haven't played far enough in some mods I guess)

Re: Long-lost weapons table found!
The Nightmares haven't been used yet.... at least I don't think so. Noise is using them in ITDOH 5, and I'm using them in my campaign... I think Reciprocity was to introduce them, but it never made it to release.


Some intrepid modeller needs to make some more Nightmare ships. I love these things, like to see more designs than the fighter, bomber, corvette/carrier, and destroyer....
