I created a custom messages.tbl (following the wiki and the retail table) but when I go into FRED none of the custom personas appear in the ship editor (it just says none). I was wondering if I needed to do something else, or maybe there is another reason? I have extensively checked my lines in messages table, and no errors come up, so it doesn't appear to be due to the format of the table. I have attached the table contents below.

I searched for a good while through the forums and the wiki but didn't find anything, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

I'm not exactly an expert in FSO but are you sure that "+Rebel" and "+Empire" work? Hmmm... have you tried to use something like "+Vasudan" or "+Shivan" instead? (That's how it was done in the demo of WCSaga.)

To my knowledge they do, as I defined them in the species_def.tbl.

[MatthTheGeek]

WCS was based on a version of FSO that is about as old as 3.6.10. What happens there is no longer relevant to what happens here.

[karajorma]

Old tables should still work in FS2_Open though. And the WCS demo was released before the fork.

We can't really test what's going on without the species.tbl

[wookieejedi]

OK, somehow I got it working (not sure how)...So feel free to delete topic if required
