Heyo, so i followed this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17122 on how to make custom weapons, and long story short when i was done i patched my mod into the game but nothing happened. The weapons werent actually added in, else the Kestrel would start with them so i can test them
Im not sure what i did wrong but im assuming it has to do with my mod file setup? Inside my ftl file are these files: data (contains animation.xml.append and blueprint.xml.append), img (contains weapon folder), and weapon folder (contains the sprites). I turned other weaponpack mods into zip files so i could see how they structured theres and how their animation and blueprint files were made and honestly i cant find any reason why my mod is not working
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Heres a link to download my mod zip file to see firsthand exactly whats in it: https://www.dropbox.com/home?preview=SaobiesWeapons.zip

Hello there!
I would love to help, but the download link isn't working. It re-directs me to my own home page. (You have to link the download page directly)
For now, try patching in the mod and opening Superluminal and check to see if your weapon is patched in.

Sorry, im not very good at this lol. Im not sure why the link doesnt work :/
As for that, i already did that. Both my weapons are slightly op and meant to be pre-equipped artillery only weapons for 2 ships i made. Neither appears as an option for weapon or artillery using superluminal

Re: Weapon Modding Help
blueprint.xml.append needs to be blueprints.xml.append.
And animation.xml.append needs to be animations.xml.append

Re: Weapon Modding Help
As a heads up, you don't need to include any vanilla weapons/drones images/sheets in the img folder.
Nor do you need to make a completely new animation string for it.

Re: Weapon Modding Help
Oh i know, i did that because it helps me keep track of things. Im making recolored/reskinned sprites for other things too (im not very good at design so i mostly reskin stuff)
