Where would i put modded files?
Back in the day, I used to edit the ship and weapon tables and missions to cheat in the game. Where would I put these files?

I would want to do this again for the FS1 Port and FS2.

You probably want to take a look at that. Also keep in mind that you should keep your modifications separate from the base mod and only link to it through primary and secondary mod in mod.ini. By merging them with the base mod you make tech support harder.
Oh guys, use that [ url ][ img ][ /img ][ /url ] :/

Re: Where would i put modded files?
To clarify, whenever I want to tweak stuff (like giving the TC-TRI more hp or making the Prometheus a viable weapon) I put that in a mod folder that includes the MediaVPs in its "secondarylist" (mod.ini). Your folder structure might look like:

Code: [Select]
Freespace2
   data
   MediaVPs_2014
   <your mod folder>
      data
         missions
            <stuff>
         tables
            <stuff>
      mod.ini

Keep in mind that FS2 will create more things in this mod folder automatically when you run, such as settings.ini or multi.log. You can delete these but there's no real reason to.
