This appears to be where the error is occuring:

code:


	// SWARM, CORKSCREW and FLAK should be mutually exclusive

	if(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_FLAK){

		Assert(!(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_CORKSCREW) && !(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_SWARM));

	}

	if(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_CORKSCREW){

		Assert(!(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_FLAK) && !(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_SWARM));

	}

	if(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_SWARM){

		Assert(!(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_CORKSCREW) && !(weaponp->wi_flags & WIF_FLAK));

	}

At a guess, a weapon in the MOD has a Swarm plus flak or corkscrew type and FS2's saying that shouldn't happen. Don't have BWO so I can't check the tables for you.

Edit take 2: Just looked at the code again and it looks like a flak or swarm conflict with corkscrew. That's the line that was quoted. (Probably a corkscrew swarm missile.)

well corscrew works like swarm in there is a swarm effect, but you can't controle how many swarm out, I wanted a missle to spiral like the corkscrew flag but only fire one, so I set
$swarm: 1
I guess I could just remove it for now it isn't that importent

there seems to be something hardcoded about the multiplayer weapons, I'm getting errors about not finding them (there not in the BWO tables) then it crashes

this is one of the error mesages i get about the weapons

Warning: Unable to find WEAPON_LIST_TYPE string "Subach HL-D" in stuff_int_list

Many possible sources for this error. Get a programmer!

Not really sure what is happening, but I don't believe the weapon is hardcoded. (The weapon's full name is not in the source files according to Find Files and Folders.) Might be something funky going on with the weapons.tbl. (It is a mod running under a debug build after all. ) Will try looking more later. It's trying to load the dogfight version of the weapon though. Might want to check the weapon table and see what weapons are in there. If it's not in there, you could try copying it's entry from the regular table and inserting it into the mods table.

maybe it just assumes there is going to be a dogfight version for every player weapon, but I don't think it complained about any of the BWO weapons,
hrmm

You definitely don't need a D version for every weapon in the table.

Check out the Port tables. Not a D version in sight.

Upon loading FS2 or FRED 2. I haven't screwed with the code or anything, not even linked it to my installation, but this didn't happen before the code was downloaded.

You CAN turn off the debugging according to Avenger.

yea the active config is set to debug, just change the active config to release and bingo its gone, that should possible fix the tbl problems, but while it is debug mode, the parselo.cpp is in full swing and not forgiving for any **** ups in the tables. When in release mode there is less emphasis in tbl checking, from what i can gather and only serious bugs are highlighted.
