[Tool] Superluminal 2.2.1 - FTL Ship Editor

[AnAngryMantis]

I've encountered a problem. Superluminal won't load anything that has been exported from gimp. The image is fine on any other photo editor or viewer, but for some reason it just doesn't work with superluminal. When I click view on the hull image, it shows blank

when I try to open this it closes itself immediately and when I try older versions my hull image is invisible when I add it. Can anyone please help me out so I can continue making ship mods with this wonderful editor?

Try to save the ship as a resource folder. This is virtually the same as saving as .ftl, except the mod file containing the ship is unpacked. You can then pack it back up into an .ftl file (there's plenty of explanations how to do that around the forums here).

That didn't work, but just leaving Superluminal minimized for ages fixed the problem. It seems to be fixed by Superluminal reloading or whatever it is when the loading bar comes up with your ship still there.

Tried that, didn't work, seems like some rare error, oof! Rip my progress

EDIT: The secound after I posted this I clicked "save" again something happened but I quickly clicked randomly again and then windows bugged it out with whitescreen and so. Your fix MAYBE worked.

Hey all,

first of all, thank you very much for this super intuitive editor kartoFlane. It makes creating own ships really super easy

Unfortunately, I have some weird problems with the walls of my ships. They appear completely right in the editor but ingame there are openings everywhere:



It looks like the game thinks that there should be doors, but I did not place any on these locations. The walls of the original ships still appear normal.
This bug happens only at ships I created with Superluminal. Any Ideas what could cause it?

That’s a bug with the game, it can only handle rooms with a length of 1 or 2, any more and that happens.
No way to stop it.

Too bad, but that makes sense. Thanks for your reply

I am having trouble running Superluminal 2.2.1 for Mac. I was having a pop-up stating "To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK." I fixed this by installing the legacy Java 6, but the application still won't launch. What am I missing?

I followed this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15FzUrvCyBk ) to fix my issues on Mac, but now I have a whole new set of problems myself
EDIT: Typo

I have a question... I can't load my custom ships anymore, (I forgot to put shields) it just shows the loading button for 1 second then disappears... And my ship isn't there...
