Ship troubles

Post by haseo220 »

I've been reworking some of the old ship mods to work with the AE stuff, as well as resetting them to different ship slots. Some of them have had to have extensive changes to fit everything, but now I'm running into a problem using Superluminal. I have no idea how to set an airlock. This is really only the first of a couple problems, but it's the only problem that's keeping me from actually playing the game. Can someone help me?

Place a door at an edge that isn't connected to any room. The system will automatically declare it to be an airlock upon saving.

Or if you want, you can set it manually. Left ID means, when you step through the left side, this is where you'll go. Right ID is the same.

I know that much, but I'm not sure how to manually tell it to be an airlock. When I try to set it, it tells me to click a room, and if I click anything but a room it goes back to Automatically Determined. I've tried leaving it at that, but the doors don't show up at all when I load that specific design.

Hmm, they should.
Try deleting the doors and putting them back in and don't do anything manually. Leave them on automatic.

That worked, thanks! There's one more problem I've been having, in that some of the stations come up as dark grey boxes and some rooms do the same, but it's only one one or two. Any idea what it might be? I can get pictures it it would help.

Is that in-game? IIRC, that happens when the interior image has no glow set associated with it / the glow set has some images missing.

Yeah, in game. It all looks good in Superluminal, but when loaded it looks like this. http://imgur.com/gallery/FCA31Ai/new
