Small problem.

The shield and the floor images don't export when I save the ship, keep in mind im exporting non-player ships. Are they not suppose to export or what? They just ain't in the exported img file.

Yup, those images are not supposed to be exported. Enemy ships can't have floor images, and they're all hardcoded to use a shared image for the shields graphic (img/ship/enemy_shields.png), just resized to fit the ellipse.

So your saying i don't have to do anything with sheild or floor images? And FTL will do the sheilds on enemy ships for me?

Yes

Okay, I seem to be having issues. I'm trying to make a mod that is for private use only. I recolored and rotated one of the game's enemy ships. I have everything working perfectly in Superluminal. Gibs, floor, doors, rooms, etc.

I hit the "Validate" button on Slipstream. No problems reported.

I patch in the mod but when I scroll over to my ship, It's invisible aside the floor/rooms, doors, and weapons. I even intentionally died to test the gibs. They were invisible too.

Any way to fix this? I tried looking at the faq and got nothing. I even did some google searching and still nothing.

Make sure that the images you've used are 32-bit PNG. FTL is picky about image format. Also, if you left the image namespace (Ship Loadout and Properties > General > Image Namespace) field blank, it may have caused this problem to occur. So make sure you always have some sort of unique internal name specified there.

Thanks! It worked. My base and gibs were all...well not 32-bit. =P

Everything works just fine now!

Hey karto, can you PLZ add how to add artillery on your ships to the FAQ or just say it in a reply or something?
Thanks!

Hello, I have run into a strange problem with the editor, everything is working fine except for manning glows. When a glow is assigned, they do not show up in the right place, and it is impossible for me to move them to the right place.

I have used the editor before but have just now run into the problem, is there any way to fix it?

@redstonetorches
Well, to enable the artillery you just have to assign the artillery system to a room of your liking. You can then go to the Ship Loadout and Properties > Armaments tab > Artillery and click on the button to select the weapon for the artillery system. You can also add more artillery systems there.

Odd, I don't really know why that would happen... I suppose you could try to reassign the glow image to the system, maybe that would fix it:

Select a room, in the sidebar there'll be a "Manning glow" button; clicking it will open a new window. You can then select a different glow set for this system, and hit Confirm to apply the changes.
