Has there been a mod or something that I could go get to be able to do this?

There is some little mission that lets you do that. Or you could use some table hackery.

You might want to ask an Admin to change your user name, that's not going to make you popular....

You do realise he'll hunt you down and lay that alpha male smackdown on you now.

I'm guessing it's not a very good joke.

Well, to be honest, I giggled personally, but I can be pretty sure that will not be a community-wide reaction

Anyone who's played JAD2 will laugh, I think.

I for the record find it hysterical.........

Hehe, well, seems like you're doing ok at the moment NDS, so don't worry about it, but just be warned that you might get some comments

Oh, and before I forget...

Thanks, but anyway... if I use the tables to make a pilotable capital ship, is there also a way to make the beam weapons and turrets to work in a way that's usable?

Flipside · **Reply #11 on:** November 16, 2006, 12:33:20 pm

Well, flying a Capship is possible using table modding, but is pretty boring and used to cause crashes because of all the turrets, not sure if it still does. If I remember rightly, all you need to do is add 'Player_ship" to the flags section of the table file.

Controlling the turrets would take a great deal of scripting etc.

I seem to recall that someone IS working on something to do with this, but I can't remember the details right now.

You have to sexp the whole thing - I tried working it out once, it can be done, but doing it properly would be tricky, tricky.

Not Derek Smart · **Reply #13 on:** November 16, 2006, 12:35:31 pm

Sounds like it's a lot more headaches than it's worth.

Taristin · **Reply #14 on:** November 16, 2006, 12:41:50 pm

And its not worth much, honestly.

You're not Derek Smart, are you?

Black Wolf · **Reply #16 on:** November 16, 2006, 12:42:37 pm

I don't know about that. After all, done properly, it'd be awesome. In fact, now that I think of it, there are probably a few ways to streamline the sexping, make it a tad easier to do, and once you have a base to start from, it could probably be replicated fairly easily.

I'll see what I can come up with anyway.

No, I'm not him. Even if he's a ****ty game creator in my opinion, he probably knows enough to figure out how to do what I'm asking for by himself.

Anyway, I'm getting a strange error while trying to open the table editor. It says something about missing RICHTX32.OCX

Unknown Target · **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2006, 01:12:29 pm

TABLEVIEW doesn't edit tables, it only views them. To edit them you can use Notepad

You need the decent manager DLL files. You can find them the same place you found TableView. Go via my FAQ's tool page if you can't remember where.
