What are the differences in FredOpen?
Exactly as the title states, what are the title differences in FredOpen? I downloaded from Turey and there are: "Fred2_open_3_6_9", "Fred2_open_3_6_9_debug", "Fred2_open_trunk_d" and "Fred2_open_trunk_r".

If anybody might know what these mean and let me know that would be great (I'm having error issues with "Fred2_open_3_6_9" and I believe that is what the campaign freders use. 
I'm open for any advice. Thx :D

Re: What are the differences in FredOpen?
The ones marked "debug" or "-d" are debug builds, to be used only if there is a problem (such as your error issues... they give more detailed info on problems encountered). The ones without the debug or marked with "-r" are the normal builds to be used when everything is working right.

Now, 3.6.9 is the last released stable branch. The "trunk" build is a more recent, experimental, but still mostly stable build. It's more advanced, but not completely debugged, so if you encounter errors with it, tell the SCP people (preferably using Mantis) so they can fix it for the next release.

Re: What are the differences in FredOpen?
atualy the debug builds should be used during development, if there is any mod that you are still working on then you should use debug.

At the very least they should be used after every table change.
