Whether WMCoolman got the weapons .tbm file thing working and how the syntax for it worked. I'm ok with -shp.tbm files, but not the -wep files or whatever they are, and I can't search HLP to find out

id like to know too. and sounds? the aesir always break my tables if i put them in, (i cant do it righg )

I'm pretty sure I know how to get them working... but not entirely. I've got one file that works perfectly and one that crashes on load.

Guess which one is for TI?

so typical

It's probably to do with the species thing, it's pretty complex, and needs certain entries in the sound table etc

Yeah, only I thought I had those done correctly.

:sample table:

If it's an entirely new weapon, it will show up last in the list in FRED, (which means, if it's a fighter mounted weapon, it'll be behind the capship weapons, and not armable on a fighter from FRED) but it will be in-game. Just have the weapon in a normal weapons table, then take it out and put it in <name>-wep.tbm afterwards.

Whats it supposed to be?

That's a regular Terran Turret I'm pretty sure, was just showing an example of the syntax.

Gotcha, I'll give it a go

Thanks for the help

Who's this mysterious Phantyr Kerrigan guy who seem to know so much...some might even say...too much...

That bunghole Solatar from who left and lurked around HLP for awhile.

Grown up a bit and decided to come back a little...

EDIT: You seem to know a bit too much, as "Kerrigan" is my last name...hmm...

Don't you know that we collect dossiers on everyone who comes in the door?

Hmm, Phantyr is 3 hours away in Nashville and Moonsword is somewhere in Georgia. There seems to a growing concentration of us in the South.

Theres a good number in Texas too, although not southeast, stil south
