I made the ship in the superluminal editor and it's not updated yet so I'm looking at the games code and making the ship work with AE manually

1.1:
AE version
nerfed the ion beam and small bio beam

1.2:
fixed the room textures
fixed the description of the weapons

1.3 is out, the ship now has a new hull!

Love the ship so far.

Rather unfortunate that its just a black square if used with captains edition. Meh Oh well

Did you install the mods with the proper mod order?

CE instructions say your mods have to be ordered as such:

Code: Select all

|   Any non-ship not-CE-related mods you are using
|   Better Planets and Backgrounds
|   FTL Captain's Edition
|   CE BPaB Compatibility Patch
|   CE Additional Music Addon
|   CE Infinite Addon
|   CE Endless Loot Addon for CE Infinite
|   or
|   CE Endless Loot Addon standard CE (never use both)
|   CE Non-EL Enemy Loadouts Addon
|   CE Vanilla Player Ship Loadouts Addon
V   Any ship mods you are using

^^^

Mods are in the correct order; still a black box

It's the _floor image. It isn't 32-bit like it should be.

the ship looks fine without CE, I'll change it and upload it as 1.3.5


edit: 1.3.5 released, I've change the floor to 32-bit, don't know if it's fixed though

also, the gibs are still not working, they might have changed with AE
