Ship engine effects?

[5thHorseman]

I also have vague memories about discussions of this, and the short of it is, it's either possible but only if your engines are exactly where the Kestrel's are, or it's impossible. One of those two.

I like the idea of linking it to the glow images. If glow images are like "No O2" images, they will be at normal size and linked to the upper left of the room. So, if you make your engine room above (on the screen) and to the left of - or at least directly above - your engines, you MAY be able to make a glow image that is really tall and includes jets. They won't be animated, sadly, but at least you'd get a glow.

Theoretically, someone could go into executable modding, but that's difficult. I may do that at some point.

I see you're playing with TaxiService's Ol'Triggernaut. Seeing as I worked on it with him a bit, it's fairly easy to tell.

It is his ship lol, I modified it alot lol. I even posted a link to a pic in his thread :p out of respect I didn't release it but that doesn't mean I don't want to play it lol.

I'm not annoyed at you for doing that, Ciu, just amused.

I look forward to what ever results you uncover, I do have another concern however. would anyone know what causes a room to darken? a ship I clapped together from another mod has this issue where the cockpit is darker than everywhere else. I have no idea what is causing this when I did the rooms, and no matter how many times I re do the rooms art it still comes out dark.

ps I'm aware of the errors with the doors, that came about me trying to fix the problem lol.

I actually kinda want that ship. The Ol' Triggernaut has a neat hull but that hull splice makes it look like it's out of the FTL lore. Would you mind asking Taxi the permission to upload your modified hull, provided both parties have no problem with it?

I would guess the issue with the cockpit is related to the glow image. It should match the room size, which in this picture is 70x70.

Error with the doors? Unless you are talking about the oxygen room having no connection to the rest of the ship, I don't know what you are talking about.

Just making sure, you guys did an awesome job, I'll made a Federation version of the ship once I get past this particular issue

nothing I am doing is working, changing the room art, redoing the ftl file in subliminal (which shows up just fine) I'm at a lost -_-

Darkened rooms like that indicate a bad file. Since you can see the room graphic, I'm betting it has something to do with bad or missing glow images.

Sure, man! Just, like, mention my mod somewhere and i have no problems! ; )

I'm being kind of busy lately and haven't been checking the forums much. I think I didn't even ever reply to you in the triggernaut thread..! : | but hey! cool job! : )


PS: If you need help with anything just drop me a PM and i'll get back to you asap.
