What the title says. Where should it go in a ship's table entry? It's kind of hard to believe that it's supposed to work via tbms, only. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, the Wiki isn't clear about this. Well, to be honest, searching "$Radar Image 2D" there led to nothing, so Wiki contributors may wish to update ships.tbl once it's clear where that line should be.

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl#.24Radar_Image_2D:

Comes right after the last Thruster entry. What is unclear about that?

[Mobius]

I was looking for icon (wrong name) during the Wiki search. Odd and memorable lapsus.

Uhm, I have another problem. If I run a debug build, I get a warning about ParticleSmoke01's missing LODs (3/4, to be precise). Any clue on what's causing the issue?

[The E]

Yes.

You need an entry like this in your -wxp.tbm/Weapon_expl.tbl:

Code: [Select]

$Name: ParticleSmoke01
$LOD: 1

Also bumped to FS Modding, as this is not a Tech Support issue

Oh, the Wiki isn't clear about this. Well, to be honest, searching "$Radar Image 2D" there led to nothing, so Wiki contributors may wish to update ships.tbl once it's clear where that line should be.

Searching for any tbl flag causes this issue. And the ships.tbl entry is VERY clear on the placement.

[Mobius]

You need an entry like this in your -wxp.tbm/Weapon_expl.tbl:

Code: [Select]

$Name: ParticleSmoke01
$LOD: 1


So that was the table. I knew missing LODs call for a "$LOD: 1" somewhere, but I couldn't remember where to add that entry.

One more problem: I get warnings about invalid armor type names, even if they're typed correctly in both ships.tbl and armor.tbl. Most armor types are fine, but quite a few of them (which I added recently) lead to these warnings.

(Please note that I get these warnings from debug builds, only, as they don't seem to lead to crashes. Nevertheless, I want these warnings gone.)

[The E]

Why are you not posting the warnings? That could help us, you know.

[Mobius]

Sorry, here's one:

Which armor types cause problems? More importantly, what differences are there between the ones that work and the ones that don't? Are there any parsing warnings when the game loads armor.tbl? Please post a full log, as well as your armor.tbl.

[Dragon]

Double-check the spelling of armor classes first.
It may be caused by a typo in armor table, or it being disabled at all.

[Mobius]

The spelling's fine. Here are two armor entries: the first one is "warningless". I don't see any tangible differences here...

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Where is the requested FS2_Open.log?

[General Battuta]

And the armor.tbl.

[pecenipicek]

on a hunch, try removing the space from the name of the armor.tbl entries, or replace the space with an underscore.
