Difference between revisions of "Category:Tables"

Tables are text files with the extension .tbl, and are the major data files in Freespace and Freespace 2. Compared with many other games, they are highly intuitive and easy to edit, requiring no special tools other than notepad. For more detail on specific tables, see the links below.

• Asterisks (*) denote a table added for Freespace 2. These are not required by FS1.
• Plus signs (⁺) denote a table added by the Source Code Project. These are not required by retail FS2

ai.tbl - Defines a small subset of the AI behavior.
ai_profiles.tbl⁺ - Defines extended options for AI behavior. AI profiles can be specified on a per-mission basis.
armor.tbl⁺ - Defines the behaviour of ship armor.
iff_defs.tbl⁺ - Defines IFF. New IFFs can be specified, with different behaviors for each.
ships.tbl - Defines the statistics of ships in-game.
species_defs.tbl⁺ - Defines characteristics of ships belonging to each species.
weapons.tbl - Defines the statistics of weapons in-game.

PLEASE NOTE:

Table entries must be ordered as a geneneral rule.

Keep the order shown in the following help sections for each table in both normal tables (tbl files) and Modular Tables (tbm files). If you don't do it, you can get parser errors on FS2 or FRED2 loading when they are reading them.
