Ship request?
Okay, so i've downloaded it aleast the best mods to make ships so i can have a halo frigate in game, sadly it just doesn't work for me. So im requesting if anyone can make me a frigate from halo, all i really need is a png file of one frigate and i can do the rest by myself. (Please tell me if this is in the wrong forum area )

Re: Ship request?
This is the correct forum area.
However, modders usually do not respond to such requests, because ideas (and requests) are dime a dozen, and actually doing the work is time consuming. The best way to see your idea implemented is to start doing it yourself (maybe with a crappy PNG image first), and post your progress, ask for guidance and suggestions while you are doing the work. Then you will most likely find help.

Oh okay, it's just i can't find a picture which resolution is 400x700 or 400x400 because thats what it said in the tutorial for FTLEdit. When i do find one, i re size it in photoshop and what comes out is a small picture with a white background in FTLedit :/ Oh well, guess im going to have to do it by myself.

Re: Ship request?
No diss on FTLEdit, but you could also try the DatManager and Superluminal as modding tools.
DatManager requires that you edit all files by hand, but is the best choice for testing a mod and almost guarantees that all errors are your fault rather than a mystery. It's also damn fast.
As allways when modding, DO NOT MOD the original game! Make a copy of it, so you have a clean version to restore files from.

Re: Ship request?
Dat Manager is a file packer that can repack game resources with modded files. While it may not be a dedicated ship editor, i found it the best way to mod FTL and get a working mod going.
Once done the modded files have to be sorted and packed into an .ftl file.

Re: Ship request?
I am working on a Halo mod which will include a playable Pillar of Autumn if that's what you wanted... It's not up for download yet, but the first things will be up soon.
