Hello. I've been lurking for a while now, using this excellent site to start my own mod but I gotta tell ya. It wasn't easy. I kept toying with the idea of joining up every time I encountered a problem I didn't know how to fix but I managed to eventually solve all of them Today I have finally been driven to make an account in order to ask for some needed advice. For three days I have had this problem. It is that whenever I try to change the recharge rate of a weapon nothing happens. I tried changing the power output to values for 1 to 250 and still no difference. I deleted flags, revised the strings table and imported ships from other mods. Still the same. Then I figured that since I was running version 3.6.9 I might as well use the $weapon regeneration rate: posted on the wiki. I keep getting this error message.
Error: ships.tbl(line 189:
Error: Required token = [#End], [$Subsystem:] or [$Name], found [$Weapon Regeneration Rate: 0.04].

My ships table looks like this [it is the original Ulysses model because my first model is still awaiting texture [and kinda sucks
]]
; file to indicate all ship types and their physical characteristics (such as physics info, etc)
; format is a simple form of the mission files
;
; Some general comments about some of the fields
;
; Velocities are specified in (freespace) units/second. You can currently only
; specify velocities in the linear directions. Rotational velocities are still
; currently speified with thrust (until I get this fixed). Rotation time is the
; amount of time (in seconds) to complete 1 revolution in the given direction
; (x is pitch, y is heading, and z is bank).
;
; Damp affects how quickly you will accel/decel to your target velocity. Higher damp
; means slow acceleration and deceleration. The lower this number, the faster
; the ship responds. For example, specifying a value of 0.0 means there is no
; damping, in other words, people would say, "this has no physics, like Wing
; Commander." The more damping, the harder to control, but the more smoothly
; it moves.
;
; Accelerations:
; All the acceleration numbers are damp factors for how fast the thing
; changes speed. 0 would mean instantaneous velocity changes, and the
; bigger the number, the slower the acceleration. Sort of backwards, but...
; forward_accel - The damp factor for when the ship is trying to go faster
; forward_decel - The damp factor for when the ship is trying to slow down
; slide_accel - The damp factor for left/right/up/down/reverse acceleration.
; slide_decel - The damp factor for left/right/up/down/reverse deceleration.
;
; Energy Transfer System:
; $Power Output => energy is produced per second by the ship's reactor
; $Max Oclk Speed => the max forward speed of the ship when 100% energy
; is directed at the engines
; $Max Weapon Eng => how much weapon energy can be stored (related to $Energy Cosumed
; field in weapons.tbl)
;
; Afterburners:
; $Afterburner => YES if afterburner present, NO otherwise
;
; The following parameters must be present if $Afterburner is YES, otherwise comment
; out or delete them:
;
; +Aburn Max Vel: => x,y,z velocity when afterburner engaged
; +Aburn For accel: => forward accel when afterburner engaged
; +Aburn Fuel: => fuel capacity of afterburners
; +Aburn Burn Rate: => rate in fuel/second that afterburners consume fuel
; +Aburn Rec Rate: => rate in fuel/second that afterburners recover fuel
;

; $SBank Capacity: ( 50, 100 )
;
; A note regarding ship sounds:
; The index for ship sounds corresponds to the index in sounds.tbl.
; If you don't want to assign a sound, put -1 as the index.

XSTR("Affectionately nicknamed 'The Bat' by its pilots, the GTF Ulysses is a well-designed craft that has had a far longer useful life than its engineers ever imagined. Developed jointly by Terran and Vasudan contractors, the Ulysses was first deployed near the end of the Great War. Its excellent maneuverability and high top speed give it an agility that pilots love, but at a cost of thin armor and a small secondary weapon loadout. The Ulysses is a better choice for offensive missions than defensive ones.", 2944)

XSTR("The GTS Hygeia is the fleet's newest Terran support ship. It is fast and maneuverable, a necessity when trying to dock with fighters in the heat of battle.

The Hygeia's repair facilities are driven by neural-net AI, for ultra-fast system diagnostics and repair. The high number of warheads carried by the Hygeia makes it a dangerous ship to be near when it blows up.", 3037)
