Artillery lasers?

Post by Slug Ship Craft »

I'm currently using Superlimunals Ship Editor and whenever I add the artillery laser station and save my ship SSE just crashes. Then I can't load that save file.

Does anyone know how to fix this and if not how to add artillery lasers to a mod ship?
I make mods sometimes. Check them out maybe?

Regardless of how many weapons your ship can hold, if you have an artillery system, the artillery weapon is the 5th weapon mount. If you have less than 4 normal weapons, you have to add dummy weapon mounts.

If I didn't make enough sense, check that you are using the latest version of Superluminal. I was under the impression that it fixed the crashing from artillery, although I already knew how to avoid the crash before the update came out, so I haven't seen if it still crashes.

Edit: I'm assuming you are asking about player ships and not enemy ships. I don't know anything about enemy ships.

There indeed was a bug that would cause the editor to crash when saving a ship with artillery system assigned, but no weapon mounts... Nice find :)
Here's a download link to fixed .jar - just drop the file inside the editor's directory and overwrite. I'll update the main release later on...

Alright, main releases updated
