Using TBL Files:

  • Weapons and Ships use .TBL type files.
  • Save any new versions of the .TBL files in a "data/tables" directory using the same name as the original file.
  • Custom .TBL files will break multiplayer.
  • Deleting the custom .TBL files will restore the original FreeSpace .TBL files.

Creating TBL Files:

  • Tables determine the properties and rules for the weapons and ships in the game.
  • Change the properties for existing weapons, by editing the weapons.TBL file containing the weapon properties.
  • Change the properties for existing ships, by editing the ships.TBL file containing the ship properties.
  • Pay attention to the comments in the files left by Volition.
  • Files must be saved using the same name as the original file.
  • More information will become available in the future.
