FRED complete?
on: March 18, 2015, 11:39:26 am
Does anybody know if there is a version of FRED that includes the ships from both FS1 and FS2? I loved some of the older ships, and would like them in my FS2 levels.

Do you know what ship.tbl is?

FS1 models work in FS2 just fine, but to get FS1 ships in FS2, you'd need to manually transfer them from the FS1 files to your mod's folder.

You'd have to copy the ships' models, maps (from the FSPort MediaVPs Assets VP) and table entries (copy the original ship table entries from the FSPort to your mod's shp-tbm, and then add any changes from the MediaVPs Root and Assets shp-tbms; check out the Ships.tbl entry on the wiki to make sure you add the MediaVPs table additions to the FSPort original table entries in the right order) to YourModFolder/data/the appropriate subfolders.

If any part of that doesn't make sense, please ask me to explain.

Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

That's a very complicated way of doing something that can be achieved just as well by just having fsport and its MVPs as a dependency of your own mod.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Wouldn't that overwrite FS2's own ships.tbl with FSPort's?

Yes.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you.

"I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!
* z64555 erases "Thursday" and rewrites it in red ink

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
