Hi guys. I tried to play TBP mod last night but I ran into very similar problems that others have had here. I followed the Instalation Guide and did everything it asked but I still get this error:

---------------------------
Error!
---------------------------
Error: Error parsing 'ships.tbl'

Error code = 1.



File:E:\Languages\Visual Studio Projects\Visual C++\fs2_open\code\Ship\Ship.cpp

Line: 3033


I spent about 2 hours looking on this forum and the open source FS2 site for a solution but its confused the hell out of me. When I launch the game the start screen comes up with the station picture but the resolution is off, it doesn't fit on my screen properly. At this point it crashes and I get the above error come up. Interestingly when I dismiss the error message and click on the task bar, the game pops up again in window mode. I can hear some of the sounds from the interface and at this stage it justs bombs out completely, coming up with a windows error message.

Can anyone offer any tips on what I need to do? I'm running this on an Intel iMac core 2 duo with XP SP2.

Cheers in advance!

Hi. What build are you using and how did you install TBP (windows installers or Linux tar package) ?

Obviously there's an incompatibility between the build you're using and the ship.tbl

What kind of video card do you have?

By "Instalation Guide", I assume you were refering to THIS thread?  Which build are you using BTW?

Hi guys, I've managed to sort it now. Followed step 5 in the install guide and it worked. Managed to find another post which pointed to that part of the installation. As for the build well I installed 3.2 up to 3.3a on my mac, after that I'm not sure. Graphics card is a 7600GT 256mb. Managed to have a quick play last night and all smooth so far  Last time I played this game properly was when it first came out! Great to be back playing it again! 

Cheers!

That was the line in the code.
