You need to make (and set) glow images for each room. You can do them in SuperLuminal (right click, it's right under where you set the room images) or do them yourself in the FTL.

Here is one resource, and here is an informative post by UltraMantis.

The new image doesn't show up via [img] tags, here's the link for the lazy... http://s8.postimg.org/c6g1gdoro/image.jpg
(though it appears like the issue's been fixed for engines room, it's not - this is because the system's been damaged and glow images are not displayed)

Either way, what 5thHorseman is right - in Superluminal, right click on a room, and select "Set glow images..." and browse to the images you want to use, close the dialog after you're done. You'll have to do this for every room with the black box issue.
Then just export the ship again and load it via GMM.

If it still refuses to work, upload the .ftl file here

So, everything works fine when I playtested the ship, no black boxes at all. Everything is properly linked in the files, too.
The only issue I've noticed is that your glow images are not transparent, so they obscure the room interior graphic (since it's drawn on a layer below the glow image) - that's why the pilot, weapons and other rooms are not visible.
