I have similar problems from time to time. Hiding the hull is all good, but that does not help if gibs are large and overlap each other a lot. Like on the Rebel Rigger for example.
Some other small things I noticed:
- Room place tool ocasional does not work for me, no idea why
- would be great if mounts and gibs would be (optionally) tied to the hull images and move with the hull whenever it is moved

Hrmh, that's indeed problematic. All the more reason to get linking via overview done, I guess. For now, you can also hide each object individually -- just select the item you wish to hide, and click on the cloak icon in Ship Overview.
- Room place tool ocasional does not work for me, no idea why
Very odd indeed :/ I've never had that happen to me. Please tell me if you find a way to reproduce this

I got that implemented in 2.0.5/4 -- when you select a mount/floor/cloak/shield, there's a checkbox in the sidebar allowing you to tie the object to hull. Doesn't work for gibs yet (dunno why I didn't do that), though they already follow hull by default, IIRC *
* I just noticed that is only true for loaded ships, not newly created ones, gonna fix that...

New update is ready -- this time I've improved stats display in the weapon & drone selection dialogs, as well as finally added artillery modification & display.
The Mac Command modifier seems to work as well, at least it did when I tested it on my VM
*shrug*
Also fixed the bug where newly created gibs would not be tied to hull image. Dunno why it slipped past me.
There are also several usability improvements -- .ftl files can now be dropped on the editor's main window in order to load them. Dragging .ftl files on the .exe (or selecting it via "Open With..." option in .ftl files' context menu) will cause the editor to load the specified mod at launch. Doors and mounts can be linked via Ship Overview now.

Superluminal 2.0.6a beta ]
Edit: a minor update to (potentially) fix two issues
Changelog:
Code: Select all
2.0.6a beta:
- Fixed a bug that prevented gibs from being selectable via Ship Overview
- Added a potential fix for crashes related to door & gib linking
2.0.6 beta:
- Improved stats display in weapon & drone selection dialogs
- Added 'Follow Hull' button to Mount Tool -- when checked, newly created weapon mounts will follow hull
- Added 'Follow Hull' button to gibs
- Newly created gibs now correctly follow hull by default
- Several minor UI tweaks
- Mac Command key support should now work correctly (tested)
- .ftl files can now be dropped onto the main editor frame to load them
- The editor can now open .ftl and .zip files by dragging them onto the .exe, or by using the "Open With..." option in the mod files' context menu
- Added "Unsaved Changes" warning when closing the application
- Added artillery modification & display (moved to Armaments tab)
- Fixed undo of offset that was modified by shift-dragging
- Added undo of reordering objects via Ship Overview
- Calculate Optimal Offset is now undoable
- Doors/Rooms and Mounts/Gibs can now be linked via ShipOverview
- When undoing deletion of elements, the editor now attempts to reinsert them at their old index

One Question:
Is there a possibility to use custom glows for the room layouts? Not just in the Editor but general, since AE changed it with that rooms.xml. And I'd rather use the old system with _glow1/2/3.
Re: [Tool] Superluminal 2.0.6a beta

Yes, you can use custom glows.
To do that, you have to put your glow images in img/ship/interior. The glow images have to follow the naming scheme of {name}#.png -- where # is 1 (blue glow), 2 (green) or 3 (yellow). The stations in glow images should face up by default (since FTL rotates them as needed).
Then in rooms.xml you have to add a new <roomLayout> tag, with the name attribute specifying the room image to which this custom glow is tied (eg. for image named room_engines.png, name attribute should be engines).
Then add a new <computerGlow> tag inside of that, with name attribute specifying the set of glow images you have placed in img/ship/interior (basically the {name} part). Next you can use the x, y, and dir attributes to specify the location and facing of the station. For dir, values are UP (no rotation), RIGHT (90 degrees rotation), DOWN (180 degrees rotation), and LEFT (270 degrees rotation).
IIRC, the coordinate system is relative to the glow image itself, so if the dir attribute is equal to something else than "UP", then the x/y values will be properly inverted (eg. positive x values moving the glow image left instead of right, etc)
That said, the editor supports creation of custom glow sets, though it's pretty rudimentary. I'll be addressing that in the next update.

Any idea why this happens? Ghost doors on custom ships, not seen them on edited version of vanilla ships. These "doors" don't function and don't let in oxygen.
*Edit: FTL or Superluminal can't handle long corridors, so these ghost doors appear. I tired taking the oxygen from these long corridors but only one section was affected.

I've seen it once before, though I'm not sure why this happens. Perhaps door links get messed up somehow. Or maybe that's just how AE handles non-standard size rooms
*shrug* I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow.

The editor can handle them fine, it's just that FTL was never designed with such rooms in mind. Oxygen is actually drained from the entire room, but the "out of oxygen" warning stripes use a predetermined image that doesn't always cover the entire room. Sadly, this can't be fixed.

I've fixed it now, I'll just have smaller 2 square corridors for now.

Superluminal crashed when playing the destruction animation, when I hadn't previously declared any animations for the gibs--although, really, this should just mean the gibs are default, right? Hmm.
I only had one gib, though.
I loaded in two mods: one that added in a custom weapon, and a "midway saving progress" kinda mod that imported in a half-complete ship. That ship DID come with gibs, though--no rooms though. I don't know if that's relevant.
The crash is replicatable, fairly easily so. Just add the two mods in and hit the play button.
Here's your stack traces.

EDIT: It happened again. I think what the issue is, is that I hit the play button when gib visibility was toggled off. The trouble with that is, well, fully assembled gibs should look pretty much like their source ship, so it's not easy to immediately see that the gibs are off. Then Superluminal crashes, and all your work goes away. :c
I think a prompt would be nice--when clicking the play button, perhaps a prompt saying "turn on gibs first" would be helpful.
One more stack trace for ya.
