Can't open some table files

For the file, the email I use for this project is

As for the crashes, I spent some time looking through our issue tracker and my list of bugs that were found but without sufficient information to reproduce. There are definitely some optimizations that need to be done to make PFM more stable and faster, but the only crash bug I found that sounded like what you're talking about was a crash when changing filters on edited tables (though that bug isn't in the tracker because I couldn't figure out which filters were meant in the original report when I went back to verify the problem). If there's anything you do that consistently causes crashes I would appreciate you describing the steps so I can note them in our issue tracker to be fixed when we have staff with time they can dedicate to doing so.
hmm should i just send you the pack file so you can take a look at what files work and what files don't?

I'll send you that file in a bit. As for the software it does not crash constantly. It mainly crashes when i want to alter something on a table on occasion. I click on something like unit attack or the variant of a unit. It does not matter what i click it just crashes on occasion when i click on something to edit it. It gives me a long error code when it happens. Too long to tell you what it is. It just happens here and there.

When i filter large tables like building units allowed or unit permissions the software also crashes. It remains frozen for a minute or two and then it just closes without error. The task completely cancels.

I'll send you the file when i'm not busy. Give me a few hours and i'll post it here. I think i might use a the site mega file. Problem is i'm unsure how to make zip files with the app called 7zip. I've tried before and it didn't seem to work right.

I'm going to assume that you're modding Three Kingdoms since that is the title that PFM's table support is far behind on and it seems like those tables work from every other game. If I'm wrong, you can email me the broken packs at
genreless@users.sourceforge.net along with the name of the game they're for and I'll try to quickly figure out what is going wrong.

Back to solutions though, it looks like you are trying to open tables that PFM doesn't have a schema for. Unfortunately, my life is currently too unpredictable to know when I might next be able to devote time to working on PFM seriously and I'm pretty sure I'm the last staff member still paying attention to the project. I can think of two approaches to solving your problem quickly.
  1. I wrote a tutorial a while back on decoding tables in pack files that can be read at http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?791996-A-tutorial-on-decoding-tables-for-PFM
  2. The solution I only recommend since we have a shortage of manpower: There's a student project that has become our primary community competitor that I think is still current with their schemas called RPFM.
Nope i'm modding Rome 2. I gave up and restarted those files. They seem to be working so far.
